July 23th Tuesday

     My name is Naoko Takahashi, from Japan. I live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, because of my college, ICU is in there. Originally, I come from Hokkaido, the northernmost city of Japan. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, but my parents work very hard so I didn’t spend much time in my home. Now I live in the dormitory which is in Campus with my dorm mates, not my family. However I never feel sad or miss with my parents. My school days with dormitory and dorm mates are awesome. But, sometimes I miss my dog named Ivy. He is a boy who has a long trunk and short legs. He is 8 years old. Hokkaido is the second largest island in Japan, so we can enjoy seafood. Also, there are many farms in there. We can enjoy milk, cheese, and yogurt. Hokkaido is famous as a hot-spring town. I enjoyed hot spring every week when I was in my home.
