trip to Tohoku!

Hi! This is Maki from EDC3. I went to Iwate and Akita last week. It was first time for me to visit the Tohoku district, so it was very fun!

The first day I went to Iwate to see my uncle and aunt. Look at this picture. Do you know what this is?This is Hoya. Hoya is a famous shellfish in the Tohoku district.The taste was.....strange^^;

The second day, I went to Akita to see fireworks in Omagari. In this fireworks competition, 27pyrotechnics selected from all over the country compete their fireworks. The competition has interesting part, day-fireworks. Usually, fireworks display in the night, but day-fireworks can see in daytime. In the night-fireworks part, there were a lot of beautiful fireworks, so I was very exited! I want to see Omagari's fireworks next year!

Hello. I am Hiroko from EDC3. I posted in a row. (//▽//)
I went to Tokyo to meet my best friend on 24th and 25th in August.
First day, I went to Asakusa. There were many street booths. I was very lucky!
The big fireworks display was held　as it happens.　I was very happy because I saw big fireworks display first time in this year. After that I talked with my friend until midnight at her house.

Second day, I went to Sunshine city's aquarium. Sunshine aquarium was renewed 4th August. It is wonderful. I saw Enhydra lutris　for the first time. They are very cute!! I love them. They are very smart. When they eat shrimp, they peel off shell. I was amazed!! I had good time.







Big Urutoraman also was there :)

Hi, I am Hiroko. I am enjoying summer vacation. How about you?
Last week, I go to Kyoto to see traditional festival with Nihonmatsu Zemi's Members. The festival is called "Matsuage". Do you know Mtsuage? Matsuage is fire festival.
Men light about one thousand small torches. The scene was　fantastic. And, men throw fire to a very big torch. The festival do not finish until a men lighting fire the big torch.The height of big torch is about 20merters. I was very exited. I had precious experience.

Free Days in Wales

Hi! This is Toshiki from EDC3. How is your vacation?
Two weeks in Wales went by quickly.

Last week, I had free days. First day, I went to Bath in Southern England with my friends. A word 'bath' has its origin in Bath. The City of Bath is inscribed as a World Heritage Site. It's surprising that whole the city is a World Heritage Site. We went there by train. The train was slow, and sometimes stopped at non-stations. It took longer time to go there than we had expected, so we got tired before arriving there...

However, the City of Bath was great! The rows of houses along the street were elegant. We enjoyed walking around the city. First, we visited the Bath Abbey. It's an old and big church. The inside was so beautiful. We saw some monuments, stained glasses, and organs. They all were beautiful.

Next, we visited the Roman Bath. It's amazing that hot water has been springing for over 2,000 years! I want to take such a great bath someday!

Next weekend, we'll go to London! I'm looking forward to visiting many spots.

Thank you!

Aquarium

Hi! This is Hazuki.
How are you doing?

Recently, I went to Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium.
I went there last year but I wanted to go there again.

I want to see well and take a photograph creatures of sea,
but I couldn't do that because there was very crowded.
(I could take few photographs.)
I regretted it.

I want to go there again when there is not crowded next time.

Shower Climbing

Hi! this is Nana from EDC3.

how is your summer vacation?

On August 24^th, I went to Tenryu-river to shower climbing with my friend.

Do you know shower climbing?

That is a kind of pleasure in nature, climb the river from downstream to upper steam.

Everyone must wear wet-suit, helmet, life jacket, and dedicated shoes.

The dedicated shoes have felt on bottom of it, so it is easy to grasp ground.

First, everyone jumped into the plunge pool from low point, then only few people jumped into the plunge pool from 3~4meter height. I tried both of it! It was very thrilling!!

Other thrilling point was climbing the fall which has nearly 90-degree.

What I can use ware rope and very thin ladder. Of course, every one used safety rope.

Every participant can achieve goal safety and joyfully!!

Through shower climbing, I used many muscles which I didn’t use usually.

Therefore I had a serious muscle ache;;

Fireworks

Hi, this is Yaemi from EDC3.
How are you everyone?










Last week, I set off fireworks at Nakatajima Sand Dunes with my friends.
It was a long time for me since I set them off, and it was the first time to did them at Nakatajima.

It was very very hard to walk on the Dunes, so I was tired.

We set off many kinds of fireworks.
For example, toy sparklers, rockets, nezumi hanabi and so on.

When we set off sparklers, we competed.

The person who kept the fire longer was a winner.
To my regret, I wasn't able to win!!

I had a very very good time!!
I hope to set off fireworks again this summer!!










Thank you.
