Aso

 Aso is one of the most popular sightseeing areas in Kumamoto. I used to visit there often with my family. It takes about one hour driving from downtown, but it takes another one hour from my home.
Aso has a lot of charms. Let me talk about the two of them.
 First, beautiful landscape and nature. Aso is a countryside. We can't see any tall buildings or industrialized things there at all. Therefore, the view from our car is clear green and it's really beautiful. Look at this picture!

 

  Isn't it spectacular!? I took them in August. I was sleeping from my city and I woked up to find myself in such a beautiful world. Mt.Aso is famous for its largest caldera(カルデラ）in the world. There are many houses, shops and gardens in the caldera. Can you believe it? Also, Aso is declared a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage(世界農業遺産）

  Second, delicious food and clean water. As I told before, Aso has beautiful nature and agriculture is valued, food is really delicious. We can enjoy tasty beef, horse meet, fresh vegetables and rice. Especially I love these horse meet stakes, "Dagojiru(だご汁)", and Takanameshi(高菜めし).

 

When I visit Aso, I always eat these delicious food, and then I enjoy shopping at a 道の駅. I buy fresh vegetables there. Kumamoto is famous for clean water. You can drink mineral water from every taps. The water comes from Aso. The United Nation commended the highest award for the water! It means that Kumamoto's water is the best of the world! That's why we have delicious rice and vegetables.(Actually, the rice is also given the highest award in Japan!!)

I really love Aso. Although it's in my hometown Kumamoto, I think Aso is one of the most fantastic places I've ever been. I want you to visit there at once. I'm sure you can enjoy there!

Thank you for reading this long blog.

My characer

I’m going to talk about my character. I don’t know what you think about me, but I think my being energy and positive are my good points. If I take mistakes, I’m not down, stay positive. I try to keep smiling instead of crying. Some of my friends say "Hey! What a positive girl you are! That's very nice!" to me. I don't want to waste my life, so I'd like to keep smiling and enjoy my life as much as possible. Do you like my positive character?

If you have some troubles or when you are worrying and you want to cry, you can talk to me! I'm sure I can give positive words and make you smile.

Whitch is true?

 

1.        When I was a little child, my mother and I were in our garden. She was hanging out the laundry and I was playing there. Sometimes she looked at me and smiled to see my playing happily. When my mom finished her housework, she called me. She found my chewing something. “Misaki, what are you eating!? Show me!” She surprised and shouted to make my mouth opened. I was eating a snail!!!!  She picked the snail out of my mouth quickly and washed it.

     She says, “You ate escargot at a very young age!”

2.       When I was 4 years old, I tried cooking for the first time with my mother.

     We were making curry and rice which was one of my favorite dishes. My mom asked me to cut some vegetables such as carrots, onions and potatoes. Cutting onion was very tough and hard for a little girl because it made me cry!! I couldn’t stop tearing, so I wiped my eyes. Then, I shouted. “Ouch!!! My leg hurts!!” I dropped the kitchen knife and it cut my leg’s finger!! My mom was surprised and took me to  a  hospital immediately.
      The doctor stitched my finger. It took one month to heal completely. Anyway, it was a severe pain ever!:(
