summer 2

Second, I went to Fukuoka and Saga to go sightseeing and visit my grandfather's sister with my family in first week of July. Before going there, I could get the driver's license, so I rent a rental car and drove on the roads in Kyushu myself. It was the first time to drive after getting license, therefore I was very nervous. However I was able to drive about 400~500km between Fukuoka and Saga without any accidents, so my driving skill have improved well.

By the way, Saga is our family(Ezoe family)'s old-hometown. About over 100 years ago, Ezoe was a samurai and living in Saga. Therefore my name comes from there, maybe. "Ezoe" is a very rare name, so I've never seen a person whose name is the same. However, I went to Ezoe family's cemetery and could see many Ezoe people! It was also a rare, too.

This time was a very tight schedule, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy at main atreet(Tenjin) in Fukuoka. Therefore I want to visit there with my friends by driving again.

summer 1

I'll tell you about some of experience in my summer vacation.

First, I went to many festivals (example, Asiya Summer Carnival, Tenjin Festival and so on...) and saw fireworks with classmates of IS. I had never seen such a large-scale firework festival because I was playing soccer everyday in clubteam during summer vacation until last year.So I really enjoyed and could feel "summer" through it.

Fireworks is one of the most beautiful cultures in Japan. Many types of them such as color, height, size and shape are shooting to night sky at the end of the festival, but all of them are handmade by professionals. I think that it is a very hardwork and great thing.

I really want to keep making fireworks by handmade even if IT society that almost things are made by machine is developping in the world. Japanese old cultures are great!

Ops!!
