Personality and habits of the people of our country

Hi, I’m Chihiro. I’ll tell you about personality and habits of the people of our country. Their personality and habits are strange and interesting for us.

First I introduce their personality. People in our country are so pure and humorous. They all like something enjoyable, for example, dancing, singing, events and so on… Moreover they are tranquil and not punctual, so they always have no plan. It is so interesting and strange, isn’t it?

Second, I introduce their habits. There are mainly three habits in our country. In our country, people have a special day in a week. They spend a day with their family. All schools hold no classes on the day. No men and women work. An unmarried person visits their parents’ house. Japanese basically have meals three times a day, while people of our country have meals only two times a day. However there is a time to have an afternoon. They have cookies and tea. This time is so important for them. Moreover they get up and sing a song in every morning. The song they sing is made by their ancestor. By this way, they pray their ancestors’ souls may rest in peace. This habit is also important for them.

When you come to our country, please make a lot of friends here. They surely made your tour enjoyable.

Mr. Been is sleeping and his alarm clock goes off to wake up him, but he doesn’t get up. Then, steam blows on his foot to wake up him, but he doesn’t get up. After that, he woke up an hour later at 9 o’clock. He sits down on his bed and puts on a pair of slippers. He stands up abruptly and he opens the curtain. After that, he shaves with an electric razor. However problems occurred. He nosehairs are caught in the razor, so he uses scissors to free himself. After that, he opens the closet and takes pit his coat. The coat is hung on a hanger and a sheet of paper is stuck on the hanger. The paper shows him an appointment at the dentist’s and he remembers he made an appointment for nine o’clock that day. He rushes to his car with his nightclothes on.


He goes out of the house in a hurry. He gets to his car, he opens the door and throws his clothes into his car. He picks up a brick and takes on his car. He begins to drive the car and he tries to change his clothes in the car. He takes his pajamas off and puts on a white shirt. He drives the car with no hands. He tries to fasten his cuff buttons and almost runs off the road. He puts the brick on the gas pedal and he moves to the back seat to pull on his pants. He keeps driving while changing clothes. He tries to put on his socks and he honks the horn while driving with his feet from the back seat. He has the car turn round and round in a rotary while he puts on his tie and shoes. He operates the steering wheel of the car with his teeth, and prepares his toothbrush. Then he is brushing his teeth while driving. He gargles with the wiper fluid. He splashes a man with water that he spit out. There is a blue car in parking space. He pushes the car and he parks his car there. The police woman comes close and she notices that his fly is undone. He pulls up the zipper in a hurry and goes to the dentist.


Mr. Bean enters the consultation room and sits down on the dentist’s chair. The nurse puts a bib over him. The back of the dentist’s chair falls down, down and down when he accidentally pushes a button. Before the dentist turns around, Mr.Bean reverts to normal position and behaves as if nothing happened. The dentist brings an x-ray, turns on the lights and looks at the cavity of Mr. Bean’s teeth. The dentist cleans Mr. Bean’s mouth with a suction tube and turns his back on him again. Then, Mr. Bean takes the suction tube and uses it, putting it on his cheek and mouth. He tries to clean his jacket with it. After that, he sucks to the dentist’s drink on the table. The dentist returns to him, so Mr. Bean is in a flurry. Next, Mr. Bean is given an anesthesia injection and then plays with the needle while the dentist isn’t looking. Mr. Bean hides the injection because the dentist returns to him and behaves as if nothing happened. When the dentist touches the cavities to treat, Mr. Bean reacts and pricks the leg of the dentist with the anesthetic. The dentist can’t stand and grabs a pole but the pole falls down and he loses consciousness under the pole. Mr. Bean looks at his watch and begins to treat himself. First of all, he confirms the position of the cavity. Second, he treats and fills fillings. Then he looks at the x-ray and wonders if the reverse may be true. He reverses the x-ray. And then he tries to treat his cavity again. When his treatment finishes, he wonder the x-ray is upside down. His mind is mixed up, so he goes ahead and treats all his teeth. Then his jaws are stuck together. He is in a panic trying to open them but then he is surprised at the dentist’s getting up and his jaws separate. Mr. Bean gets out of the dentist’s chair and goes out contentedly. The dentist looks completely exhausted.

July 9th




I had 3 exams at 1st, 3rd and 5th period yesterday, so I was very tired...

HOWEVER
After school, I had a happy time with KYOUSHOKU members and Mr.Hayashi. We went to the bar, KURONEKOYA. I went there for the first time. The atmosphere is so good, all taste so good...this bar is perfect. At first, Nami, Manami, Mizuho and I talked with Mr.Hayashi as we drank. We talked about love, blood type and so on... The conversation with Mr.Hayashi is very fun! After that, I enjoyed an interesting talk with Nami and Manami. I can't drink much, so I drank only a grass of CALPIS chuhai. Mizuho was drunk with a smile. She was so cute. At 9, we broke up. Some went somewhere else and continued the party, but I went home with Manami and Mizuho. I would like to have a party again.
