I am coming to Halifax soon! Can't wait!

Hello my friends in Halifax!!

I am coming to Halifax at the end of this month and stay there for about 10 days.

It would be great if I could see you guys while I am there.

In Japan, there is a national holiday wishing young children's health and well-being, it's called "Kodomono-hi" Children's day and it's on May 5th every year.

Since I will be in Halifax on that day this year, our family have already put out some traditional things for Children's day.


1) Koinobori / streamers shaped like carps

2) Armour

This celebration is especially for boys.

Girls have another celebration called Hinamatsuri in March though it's not a national holiday.

I hope my boys grow up to be strong to support their friends and people they love.

Farm experience

My family went to a farm that is 2 hour driving away from the city, Nagoya.

We live downtown so our kids don't get to play in mountains, river and other natural places.

Though I wasn't able to go with them, they seemed to have a good time there.

They picked vegetables, cooked them and ate them.

Someday, we hope to go to Halifax and play in nature.
