Festival

Hi! Today's topic is "festival". In my home town, Star Festival takes place in July 6 and 7 every year. There is a legend about star festival in my home town since long ago. Many people participate in this festival. People write their wish to the strip of paper at Hatamono shrine. After then, they are thrown into a river to come true the wish. Also, there are a lot of stalls along the river. For example, takoyaki, cotton candy and goldfish scooping. I go to this festival with my family or friends every year, but I couldn't go there this year, so it was a shame. Next year, I definitely will go there .

Wedding

Hi! Today's topic is marriage. I'm interested in Indian marriage. My host family are Indian, so they talked me about that. In India, marriage ceremony and wedding ceremony are so long. It takes a week.  When Indian celebrate something, they get henna tattoo. It is a body paint that is painted by inc which is made from a plant called henna. Henna tattoo means "to be happy". On the wedding day, groom goes to place for the wedding on a white horse. Also, bride wear ethnic costume such as sari and hellenga at the wedding.These dress are so gorgeous and beautiful. I try to put on them.
