Valentine Day And Pillow Fight
Today is Valentine Day. There is a difference for the celebration of the day between
I ate out at Japanese restaurant with my friend today, and I heard an interesting story. There is a yearly event called Pillow Fight in SF. People taking part in it fight literally with a pillow. They bring their own pillow to the place held the event, and smash each other with it. This reminds Japanese of Makuranage that Japanese students throw their pillow to their friends when they stay out of the home for a special school event like school trip and go to bed. I saw some people holding pillows when I was on my way to my home. They seem to get exciting... I’ve uploaded some video shows pillow fight from Youtube.

The Trip To New York①
I was visiting to New York in January 4th through 6th. By the trip, I had never been to eastern part of US as well as New York, so this trip was something I really wanted. In the night of January 3rd, my friend who came along with me and I met up at the bus stop near our campus and then took the bus to the train station to SF International Airport. There was unfortunately the 1 hour delay in the flight, so our plane actually had to change. The passengers started to board around 12, and took off in 12:30. Flight Company was Virgin America and inside of the plane had a little bit cool style. It’s a relatively little small though the lights above me were purple and screen which can touch on it to operate was in front of me. With the screen, I could watch TV, listen to radio and music, play game and even chat though I think most people don’t use it.
