beer&days　8/5〜8/18

What did I do during the Obon season? Time flies! It's true that I spent a great time with my family, but I don't remember very much!

8/6(Tue) yoga

Exercise is one of my routines. Nowadays, I’m into yoga. I recently lost 5 kg, so I don’t want to lose any more weight. I just want to tone my body, so I need to build muscle.

8/9(Fri) We are all humans.

We humans have the same feelings. We always miss someone. I know it’s a typical stereotype, but Americans are open and extroverted. So I was surprised by this news. Even Americans miss someone and would like to hide their feelings!

8/17(Sat) Obon season

Obon season is a period for praying to deceased ancestors. It’s similar to All Souls’ Day.
We believe that our deceased ancestors come back during this season. They return on August 13th, stay at our home for four days, and leave on August 16th. We visit graves and offer flowers.
We also make vehicles for them: a horse made from cucumber and a cow made from eggplant. Our ancestors are believed to ride these vehicles when they return and leave.

My siblings and I spent a peaceful Obon holiday watching ‘Explore the World of Delicious in Dungeon’ every night.
