In Japan, we have a celebration when a child turns 3, 5 and 7 wishing for their health and well-being.
For a girl, in the year when she turns 3 and 7, twice
but for a boy once in the year when he turns 5.
It's called Shichi-Go-San, which means 7,5,3 in Japanese.
Simple right?
This year, my son Haruki turned 5 years old so we went to the Atsuta Shrine
to celebrate.
753 is in November.
We hope they are healthy for their lives

Konnichiwa!! from Nagoya, Japan.
I'm Michi from Halifax Japanese Students Support Centre.
It's been a long time since the last time I updated this blog.
It was back in 2006! I can't believe it. But now I'm back.
What happened during those years??
Well, I have got 2 children.
They keep me busy everyday of my life now but they are very rewarding.
They are Haruki(5) and Kentaro(2) at a summer festival in Japan wearing Yukata (one type of kimono)
I started my own language school in Nagoya.
I bought a condo in Nagoya.
I have traveled back to Halifax 4 times.
and etc..
So I work as a study-abroad agent that specializes its services in Halifax, NS.
What I do is to help Japanese students to go to Halifax.
All my clients go to Halifax to study English.

Mostly I work with ...

and St. Mary University TESL centre.
