Christmas Day



On Christmas day, I was invited Christmas party. Before the part, my friend and I went to the beach called Lands End. It’s located in northern San Francisco, so I could see Golden Gate Bridge from there. While I was walking, I saw many kinds of dogs, and some of them weren’t on leash. Though this is a rare scene in Japan, it’s not special one in America. One of the reasons dog owners can let their dogs take a walk with no leash is that those dogs are accustomed to people because they had a lot of opportunities to see people when they were a little, so they are relatively friendly. I also saw this kind of scene in Canada. I’ve got accustomed to it though I had a little culture shock in the beginning.


After the beach, I played video game with the friend. We played baseball one to start with, and succor one afterwards. Needless to say, I was defeated million times. Next time, I will beat him.


My friend and I went to the house held the party by his car. I met many people in the party, and ate amazing dishes as well. After dinner, we played a gesture game. We were divided into four teams. The representative players from each teams picked up a cards which is written their gesture’s topic on it, and on based on the topic, the players gestured. The team which can answer the most is the winner. One of the people was holding a baby. Babies are cute but at the same time, a mysterious existence for me because they have weird face like alien. I had great time on Christmas day, and the last year’s Christmas was something little bit special for me because I’ve become a Christian since I came to San Francisco, so it’s first time Christmas as a Christian.

Hi, nana. Nice to meet you.
Some people brought their dishes to the party, so there were many kinds of food. As far as I remember, I ate beef steak, Udon, Korean style meat, salad, and some sweets. Since American people put the importance on an anniversary day, they have many parties thought a year.
