Hi there~!
It is July 18th! It is summer, it is summer!!!
Japan’s summer is humid and hot and cannot say it is very comfortable, but I came to notice that I probably like summer the best among all the seasons!!
I feel like I have to do something fun!!
Spring and Autumn are really nice seasons with nice climate, but guess I like summer the best.
Did not really think about that till now ( *´艸`).
What is big in Japan in summer is FIREWORKS~~~~! Yay~~~~~~~!!!!!
We have so many fire works throughout Japan!
Since one of my friends, Tony is back in Kobe Japan,
I will make some lists of fireworks in Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara + Shiga & Wakayama)
where he and his family would probably be easy to reach.
