About my home town


This time, I want to talk about my home town, Miyako. Miyako is in the east side of Iwate and placed the most east city in Honshu. As you can guess, we can enjoy some marine activities such as crusing, swimming, fishing and so on. Especially,"Jodogahama" is the most famous sightseeing spot in Miyako. The origin of Jodogahama is said to be very beautiful like "Gokurakujodo"(Gokurakujodo means the place like heaven) In addition, Miyako has majestic nature not only sea but also mountains. So we can enjoy nature activities.

And the food is also very nice. For example, we can get many kinds of fish and shellfish like urchin, salmon, pacific saury, abalone and so on. Besides, they are cheaper than to eat in urban areas because of near the ocean.

Although the access is bad(From Tokyo, it takes about 5 hours)If you want to enjoy nature and reflesh, Miyako is the recommendation city!!

my family

hello it's me again,

Now I would like to introduce my family.

First of all, my father : his name is Jean-Marie, he's 56 and owns a restaurant near some lake, in a town called Léon . He's a very good businessman since he managed his first business affair when he was 21 (he sold camping-cars). I love that everyone respects him while talking to him, even the bank manager do as well. He is very kind with me, as I'm his daughter, and spoils me like every father probably do with their children. I love him and am very proud of him.


My mother's name is Marie-Line, she's 50, but she's so beautiful that she doesn't look over 40. She's very slim and tall, loves trendy new clothes and gadgets and make-up too !! Sometimes, she makes me think she's a teenager, and me an old person ;) !!
but she's a very hard-worker too ! She helps my father in the restaurant as a waitress and barmaid (she did this job since she has been 17, so she does quite a good work) during long hours.
Then she also has to take care of her huge garden and her ploutry-yard.


My little brother, now 18, is called Léo and is still going to high school. He can't wait to go studying in bordeaux university next year, and have his own appartment !! And he's gonna study japanese too .
He can play the piano, the drums and the bass (and the guitar). He's very talented in practising instruments, and very clever with the informatic stuff (I regret I'm not too). He's also good in learning foreign languages like English, Spanish and soon Japanese and, anyway, he's very brillant in general. Oh, he can draw pictures quite well too !
When we where young, we often fought each other, but now we are very close, and I like it this way.


That's enough for today, I think, thank you very much!
I'm sorry, I'll put pictures of my family later (maybe )

my hometown





Hello, I would like to tell you about my hometown .
Well, I'm french and I come from a small town called Dax, in the Landes Departement, about one hour and a half from Bordeaux.

In my town, we love to eat good, natural food we produce ourselves, like for example, poultry and vegetables which with we can cook a delicious soup we call "garbure" (take a look at the photo I sent, please). We especially love eating ducks, and make some duck breast or some "confit of duck" (I hope you are not hungry ;) ) !! And, despite this long-standing rumour, I can tell you that NOT EVERYONE in France loves eating frogs' legs, that's not true (for my part, I hate it, so...). But in my region, it's true that snails are mouth-watering, and personally I love mushrooms that sprout in this area !!!


Every year, the inhabitants of my city organize some festivities called "féria de Dax" (photo again), during a week in mid-August, where everyone must be dressed in white and red (traditional colours of the town), where every young (and less) people can get drunk, and have a good time together. Last years, this festivities attracted so much people, and many foreigners came too (from England, Spain, Deutch, even America !), that made my town quite famous, so I'm very proud!!


In my town, we also love the bullfights, it's a tradition in the South West of France to go seeing it. I rather not to talk about this because I don't want to heart anyone's feelings, and I don't appreciate it neither so I would conclude here.


Thank you for having read me, see you pn next class

I'm from Akita!
