How was your long weekend?
Last week, we talked about where you were born and where you grew up.
I was born in Toronto
I grew up in Toronto.
I was born and raised in Toronto
I've been living in Okinawa for more than three years now. To tell the truth, I don't miss Toronto so much. I miss the food a little, and I miss snow a little, but I can live without either one.
Actually, I already miss summer very much! This weekend I went snorkeling three days in a row, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Even though it was very fun, the water was unbearably cold! I had to wear a wetsuit, which is kind of uncomfortable for me. On Monday I went to Cape Maeda, and I was more or less okay. Maybe I got used to the cold.
In the future I would like to settle down somewhere in Haebaru. Haebaru is similar to Tomishiro, except the tax isn't so high. It's more or a less a rural area. My impression of Haebaru is something like this:
However one person said their impression of Haebaru is pachinkos. I thought he was joking, but come to think of it, that's kind of true. What's your impression of Haebaru?

Hi Terry!
This is Erisa.
It is the first time to comment:-) I just couldn't ignore something about Haebaru;->
Haebaru is really quiet and nice place to live. And yes, there are quite a few Pachinkos there, but not so many flies as everybody says...;->
Anyways, just be my neighbor.(^-^)/
See you in the class!
じゃね～

Hi Erisa!
Thank you so much for the comment!
In our school you represent Haebaru, because I think there are practically no other students who live there! I'm totally with you, it's a very quiet and nice place to live. And of course, it's not a ハエ原 ^_^
By the way, I heard the mascot of Haebaru is the pumpkin man. That's really strange...it sounds like Halloween.
