Similar and different customs

I took the lesson with teacher I today.
Although we conversed while watching cherry blossoms last time, as per the weather forecast, it has been raining; I took it from my place today.

Regarding the hanami picnic, she shared an event similar to it.
In her hometown, she used to go on a highland picnic with her neighborhood; some families went out with food, like a luck-pot party, swam in the river, and sometimes enjoyed kayaking using bamboo.
It sounds fun.

I wanted to remember why the topic changed.
Still, we talked about how long university students' vacations were and the differences between the Japanese' and the Philippines' way of job hunting.
I learned a lot from her today.
