Coming of age day

  Finally I become an adult last week! On January 12^th was coming of age day. I’m still 19 years old now, but I’m an adult in my heart. Actually, I was not looking forward this ceremony but it was very fun and memorable.

  At first, I was planning to wear my mother’s Kimono because my mother said it was expensive at that time and I agreed it. My mother’s one was designed by Guy Laroche, a famous fashion designer, and there is only one in the world. But it was little bit quiet design for the ceremony, so we planned to change the Obi to gaudy one. But at the place searching Obi, we changed our mind that wearing my mother’s one because no one Kimono was there as quiet design as my mother’s. So we concluded buy the new one. But it was early December, so there were few time to choose. Miraculously, we found a great Internet site. The shop is in Kyoto, so we were afraid to chose without seeing real one, but there was no way another. We chose red Kimono and purple Obi, and we amazed it arrived during December with making over my order.

   After those moments I could reach Coming of age day! I could many friends and we took many picture. Especially it was very fun to take pictures at Kumamoto Castle. I went there with my two best friends. There were many foreign tourists, and we were asked to take picture with the tourists. Maybe we took about ten to fifteen tourist groups. I felt it was honor and I was glad every tourist said to us “congratulation,” and “beautiful!” We could make never forgettable memory.

  In the evening, an alumni association of junior high school was held. Actually I didn’t want to go there because I took an examination to enter the school and miraculously passed, so my junior high school’s level was very high. All of them passed great university, including Tokyo University and Kyoto University. I thought everyone is good at studying still now, so they must be surprise at me, but everyone was good for me and I really enjoyed the time. I thought it was relief to attend. We also enjoyed taking picture and chatting. This Coming of age day will never forgettable for me.
