Pop's first Japanese winter holiday!
My New Year’s holiday in Japan was wonderful! I went to various places in Kansai and Kanto. In the beginning of the holiday I went to Ninomiya station with Tatiana, just to find some country side but then I found that it is also on the coast. Then I went to Kamakura to see the Daibutsu (Big Buddha), which was so beautiful and big. I also found that Kamakura is on the coast too.
In the middle of my holiday, around December 28th, I went snowboarding in Niigata. That was my first time ever because there’s no snow in Thailand so I couldn’t try it before. I found that it is harder than I expected. I fell down many times! It hurt but was still fun.The next day I was in so much pain that I slept all day!
On the New Year’s Eve, my host mother had to work so there was no party at my home. That was quite sad. I always have New Year party at my home in Thailand. But everything got better after I watched The NHK Uta Gassen because I had wanted to watch it for a long time!
From January 4th – 7th, I went to Kyoto to meet my friend and sleep over. We went to many places in Kansai. At first day we stayed in Kyoto, the second in Osaka, the third in Nara, the fourth day in Kyoto again and then I went back to Tokyo. The Kansai trip was fun, there are a lot of places to visit in Kansai area, and it’s great! I love Kansai! The next day I went to Tochigi to see the strawberry orchard, it was cool! I love everywhere in Japan. I am happy that I spent my holiday in so many places of Japan. This was the best holiday ever!
