THE CLIVE

This is my first another sky in New Zealand-Clive.

Today is the last day to stay in Clive because I'll do the host change.

I didn't want to the host changing but I had no choice.

My host mother whose name is Jennie's father has a chronic disease and it became worse.

However, Jennie said "You can come to this house whenever you want." to me.

I was so happy to hear that and also I thought that I have to thank them for having me and being really kind to me.

When I came here at the first time, I was surprised to see how close to nature people live.

My house stands near the sea.

My host father whose name is Heinz has a cool bike and he likes to go cycling.

I always borrowed his bike and went to the beautiful cycling road along the river.

There is a beautiful bench and I always sat down and sometimes I read a book, drinking a bottle of milk tea.  It was my precious time to calm down and think about myself.

Also I was surprised how inconvenient here is.

In Japan, there are so many convenience store and I can buy something I want whenever I want.

There is only 4SQUARE as the shop in Clive.

I realised how convenient place I used to live and also I have to appreciate that.

However there are so many beautiful natures instead of convenience.

Today I got up at 5o'clock and went to the sea to see sunrise for the memory.

I tried to do this many times before but I couldn't.

BUT!!!! I could do today!!!!!!

When I left the house, the sky was still dark so it was difficult to ride a bike on dark road.

I'll never forget this wonderful experience:)

Also I was learned very important thing from my host family.
That is " I have to challenge everything not to be afraid and also enjoy everything happened
 because the time I can do these things is only now. "
Since I noticed how important this word is, I've been able to challenge many things.

I have stayed in Galler's house about a month and half.

It's very short but I have a lot of memories.

I deeply appreciate to meet Jennie and Heinz.

I'll not forget this wonderful experience.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

MY BEST FRIEND

She is my best friend:)

Her name is Karen Tomizawa.

We met in English class at the first time.

When I saw her, I thought she must be so scarily girl but she was't actually.

I wasn't same class with her until 2 years ago.

Although, we could be so close friend.

Even I was surprised at that.

We went to Starbucks and talked a lot at first.

At that time, I could know about her and realised that she is a good girl!!!haha

She was really different from my imagination.

She was always thinking a grate many things.

And I think that she always notices the essence of things.

I was most surprised at this.

The reason of becoming such a close friend is maybe these things.

I've never met any friend who understand all of myself before I meet her.

I don't know why, but I also could understand herself.

We did so many things together.

The most impressive memory is to go to Disney Land.

I've been there 5 times with her.

SECOND♥

THIRD♥

FORTH♥

FIFTH♥

Disney Land is very special place for us.

When we were there, we could be what we really are.

Perhaps, that place made us like that.

  

We did the Futago Code every times.

It means wearing the same clothes like twins.

In Japan, it is really popular.

It is interesting that our likings are always opposite!haha

Sometimes, I felt a little sad not to sympathise with something

but when we choose something, it is easy.haha

Therefore, we have many matching things.

They are my treasures.

We understand each other's good point and bad point.

I think that it is very difficult.

Because we have to know all of each other and also accept that.
But we did that:)!!!

When I was separated from her because of this studying abroad, I was so sad.

However, she said

 "We're okay. Our friendship won't break such a small thing." for me.

I was so glad to hear that and I couldn't stop crying.

Actually, I thought the same thing at the same time.

And I noticed that we could build a wonderful relationship.

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to meet her.

She is my best friend forever...... ♥

My School in JAPAN

KOSEI GAKUEN JYOSHI KOUTOUGAKKOU(佼成学園女子高等学校)

This is my school's name.

At first, this school was built for Buddhist.

But now, there are so many people who have no religion.

I'm non-religious,too.

At the start of the first term, we have to go to the auditorium and recite the school mottoes.

There is a big statue of Buddha.

So when I went to my school at the first time, I was so surprised.

I didn't know that but founder-Nikkyo Niwano is very famous person.
He has met with Mother Teresa and also he has been invited and given a speech before pope.
What a wonderful work history he has!

We hae Sports festival, school festival and chorus contest as a school event.

I like chorus contest the best because I like to sing a song.

Also I have conducted three times.

And I have gotten the award of best conductor.

This is my precious memory:)

This is my school:)

This is my class room....♥

I have been to this school since I was 13 years old.

And I could meet a lot of wonderful people!

Now, I'm belong to the KGGS.

KGGS is the course for the student studying abroad.

This year, 46 students came to NZ.

I really miss them♥♥haha

And this is my school uniform in summer.

It has a big collar and a big ribbon.

This clothes is called Sailor Fuku (sailor suit).

It is cute, isn't it???

I really love it!

This is the uniform in winter.

I like this one, too!

Also  I could meet my former teacher-Mrs,Inoue.

I had been taught for 3 years from her.

She is 64 years old now.

In Japan, people who are 65 years old have to retire.

So she'll retire next year.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad...lol

 I could learn so many things which are very important.

To say "I owe what I am now to her" is not too much to say.

So I'm really filled with gratitude to her.

Moreover, I could meet so many precious friends,too.

but they are sooooooooooooo many!

So I'll write about it in detail next time:)haha

ART DECO WEEKEND

22,23 February is called ART DECO WEEKEND:)!!!!!!!

So many people wore the 1920s clothes and hairband.

And also they rode in the 1920s/30s/vintage car.

It was sooooooooooo cool,wasn't it???

By the way, I'll tell you the history of Art Deco!!!

When the Hawkes Bay town of Napier was all destroyed by an earthquake in 1931,

Art Deco moved in.

Rebuilt almost entirely in Art Deco style.

And now, it is one of the world's best examples of Art Deco design!

On saturday, I went to Napier with Natasha and Rohgann.

To walk in Napier was so difficult because of a grate many people.

We saw a parade of these people 

who rode on the vintage car and wore the 1920s clothes.

I could take so many pictures!!!!

After that, we went to "number one shoes" 

to buy high heel for the ball♥

I found nice one and bought them!

In Japan,there aren't so many shoes that I can put on.

Because my foot are too big.

However,there are so many shoes that I can put on in NZ!!!

Moreover,all of these are soooooooooooo cute♥

This place is the paradise for me!hahaha

I'm so happy:)

Then we went to the sea!

There isn't any sand in Napier's sea.

I was surprised at that 

because it's really different from Japan's sea.

Tanks to them, I could have a wonderful time;*)♥

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY NEW SCHOOL

WOODFORD HOUSE,this is my new school in my another sky...♥

When I came here at first,everything I saw was new for me. First,I was surprised at this school is built on the hill and also it is too large for me!haha 

And I liked the buildings's color is orange.

It's sooooooooooo cute:)♥

In addition, all students and teachers are always kind to me.

Thanks to that,I could make friends.

It was very good for me.

I won't be afraid and I'll make more friends from now on!

BTW,of course there weren't all good things.

I can't understand all what people said.

If I can do that,I'll enjoy everything

that I want to do and have to do.

So I'll study hard!!!!!

I think that I'm blessed with a favorable environment and I'm soooooooooooooooooooo lucky girl!!!!!!!!!

So I'll do my best and enjoy my NEW LIFE in MY ANOTHER SKY:)♥
