March Blog from Emilie
In the beginning of March we had our last tests of the year. This year we had to do all the tests and it was very tough but I made it through.
Me and my family went to Atami. Atami is located in Shizuoka prefecture. It was about 2 hours with Shinkansen from Tokyo. We went sight seeing - especially to see the Sakura. I went for a morning walk. I woke up at 5 in the morning and went. These are some of the pictures.
I went back to Philippines for a week, because my great grandmother had passed away. She was 96. She lived a very long healthy life.
The last time I visited Philippines was 2 years ago for a month. I felt like this time was more fun and more heartfelt. I got to see my family - not everyone but most and I am glad I did. I'm going back in 2018 for my birthday, because in Philippines they have a thing called debut. It is when you turn 18 you get celebrated like sweet 16 - as they do in Canada and also America.
