Christmas Day(SOL #11)

 Good mornig! Today is the end of the second semester of classes before winter break.

 This time, I want to talk about my Christmas Day.
 On December 23th, I went to Toyama Prefecture. The weather was forecast to be stormy this Christmas. As a result, it became very rough before Christmas, and when I left, the Shin-Etsu Line stopped between Nagaoka and Kashiwazaki, making it impossible to get to Toyama on the limited express. I wondered whether to go or not. So I thought of a route from Tsubame-Sanjo station to Toyama via Takasaki station on the Joetsu Shinkansen. Although the price of the Shinkansen was a little expensive, I enjoyed the opportunity to go to Takasaki, which I would not normally have the chance to visit, and to take the Asama train, which happened to be a type of Hokuriku Shinkansen, and also via Nagano. As a result, I am glad to have arrived in Toyama safely.

 On December 24th, I enjoyed Christmas Eve with my friends. We had the standard Christmas fare of chicken, pizza, and cake. My friend is not fond of fruits and cannot eat whole size shortcakes, so we had a green tea cake. I used to eat whole size shortcakes for Christmas, so this was my first chance to eat a matcha cake. Even though it was a cake, it was not only sweet but also had a strong bitter taste. We also exchanged Christmas gifts with each other. I received this scarf and a wallet. I was very happy to see that they were very thoughtful gifts.












 In addition, Hearing that the Christmas-only light-up event was being held, I visited Toyama's famous KANSUI PARK. I was thrilled by the illumination, which was much more vivid than I had seen on the Internet. It was a limited time, but it turned out to be a very fulfilling Christmas.

 If any of you are from Toyama, I'd love to know where else it's famous for!

 Thank you for reading!!
