My Childhood Home

Hi:) Today, I'm going to talk about my childhood home!
When I lived in Japan, I lived alone to go to my university.
My hometown is very far from the university, so I had to live alone.
Now, I really miss my hometown.
I mind that I will live alone again after I will go back to Japan.

My hometown; Kitakata-shi, Fukushima, is located far from Tokyo.
If I go to Tokyo from my hometown by a car, it takes about 6 hours to get to Tokyo.
My hometown is very different from Tokyo.
It doesn't have many people, high buildings, enough entertainments and educational institutions like Tokyo.
There are not a shopping mall, a theater and a university in my hometown.
There are one restaurant for families and one karaoke.
And, it has many fields for products, rice fields and ramen; Chinese noodle shops because the ramen in my hometown is very popular in Japan.
So, many tourists come to my hometown to eat the ramen.
In addition, the transportation in my hometown is terrible.
Trains come to a station onece in 30 minutes.

Although my hometown sounds uncomfortable and boring, I really like this town.
Actually, when I was junior high school student or high school student, I felt bored and that I want to live in other place.
But, I knew that I can feel relaxed in my hometown when I started to live alone.

I had many enjoyable memories when I was a child.
In the nights of summer, I used to go to a rice field to see fireflies with my family.
I still remember that I saw many beautiful green lights of them.
And, I used to hear a little noisy cloak of frogs.
When I was a high school student, every year, I enjoyed a barbecue and fireworks with my friends in the shores of a river.
In winter, I see a lot of snow in my hometown.
Then my parents used to take my brother and me to go skiing or snowboarding.
And, when I was a elementary school student, I played soccer on a lot of snow with my classmates.
It was very fanny time.

So, I like my hometown which has many natures.
I miss my family and all of my hometown friends:)))

Thank you for reading^^
