Kyoko♪

Kyoko! She is my best friend. She came back home in Japan. She goes to American University. When she came back here, I usually say to her “talk in English!” so she talks in English about her. She is very good at English. She is happy to live in America. She lives in Montana where is very cold. So she can live without jacket in Japan :)

Today, we went to downtown, and went shopping. I was looking forward to see her, so when I see her after a long time, I was so happy. She has not changed before. She is a person with a frank disposition. I really like her. When I worry about English, she is taught me.

She lives in America, but we are best friend forever!!

Do you know spots of night view in Kumamoto? I often go to watch a night view with my friend. Night view makes me happy and relaxes. My friend also likes night view. I think many people like it, so I will show you some little-known spots of night view in Kumamoto.

First, I will show you Inorino-Oka Memorial Park. There is in Kumamoto City.
