A Memorable Event in My Life

In my writing class, we wrote about our memorable event, so Im going tell u about it^^
Do u have any event when u grew up as a adult??
In Japan we have one when we became 20 years old. It is Japanese big event for everyone. From 20 years old, we can drink alcohole and smoke.
This ceremony hold on January, so people who are 20 years old come back their hometown. My hometown is small as you know, so my friends and I have been friends since 6 years old(kindergarten), my class had 20 people all the time until 15 years old. It had never changed my classmates!! So we know each other well:p
After graduated from junior high school, we had to go separate way for our future, but the event called us to reunion!! and we can drink and talk about our memories, so it became fun, ofcourse(´∀`)b Dont you think so???lol

Im gonna show you our traditional clothes which is KIMONO.




Kimono is so expensive, and we can wear this type of kimono before we get married. We call this type of kimono is "Furisode." A few people buy a furisode about $10,000, and this kimono is used only 1 time at this ceremony. But if you want to use after got married, you have to cut the sleeve.


My friends wore a suit, but they have traditional clothes too.


I will show you Junya' s clothes who was in IEP last semester!! I hope some students and Tracy remember him:p

What do you think our traditional clothes??


We drank together friends' house and we drunk. My friends drank crazily, so some of my friends got crazy, then they kissed....><
That was so crazy...you know, our culture is not like that. But no one cared at that time, because they drunk.lol
Remember!!! I didnt do it like my friends...haha
I had great time with them!

Do you have some crazy stories??
If you have it, please share us!!!
