Coming of Age Day!

Hello, everyone~!
It's been about a week since my school began... I've been busy preparing for the exams and taking them. Today I just had the exam of my English class, and I'm so delighted at the fact that the exam is over because it made me so nervous. Anyway, I did finish that. So let's move on to the topic I would like to talk about today!

Here it is!
Coming of Age Day finally arrived!

One of my best friends and I took this picture before we attended the ceremony on January 8th. I was so glad to be able to attend it because it was like a reunion of my classmates in my junior high school. After attending it, I headed to my grand parents' house with my parents to show my Kimono. I was not sure if I could get used to tightness of Kimono at first, but I managed to deal with it somehow. I even enjoyed eating 2 mandarin oranges at my grand parents' house! Then, we went back to home. In fact, I still had some place to go.... Guess what?! To the party! I went there after I took off my Kimono, which took almost 20 minutes. I could see almost all of my friends from my junior high school at the party, so talking with them seemed to be unstoppable! We even went to karaoke after eating and drinking....

After I came back to home, I started preparing for the exam of my French class which was conducted on the next day! I was tired and didn't feel like doing any study, of course. But I got my homework and preparations for it done in the middle of the night. Hehehe~.

Anyway, I think that day became an unforgettable one in many ways!

You can enjoy looking at the rest of the pictures I took on the day here.


That's all for today!
See you soon~

Nice to meet you, Hiromi! Your ex-teacher Nina tipped me on your wonderful blog.... It's really great!!!
How old are you now? Do boys and girls come "of age" at the same time in Japan? In Argentina, girls usually celebrate this at 15, and boys at 18. But they do so on their birthdays, not all together...
I'd also like to ask you: why are all girls wearing white furs around their neck? Is it a tradition too?
Keep your blog going!

Hi, Hiromi-san.

Your blog—especially "My Sweet Days"—is wonderful! I especially enjoyed the photos!

Like Hala and Gladys, I heard about your blog from Nina-sensei in Maryland. She had very nice things to say about the blog, and I can see why: you've done an excellent job!

Very best wishes—
