We went to the same national park in Andover, MA as last year. You can check it out> Unplugged 2019. It is only 30 mins away from Boston, and we can bring ourselves to the middle of nature. All we did was eating, walking, playing and cooking. Don’t say “You eat too much!“

My younger brother visited me in Boston. His last visit was back to 2011, so it has been 8 years since then. He told me that Boston had changed a lot. I do agree bro. Since my brother got some time off from his job, he made it to Boston and spend a good time with me.
I don’t remember the exact day we started dating, but both of us are sure that we came to the U.S on June 1st, 2004. It has been 15 years since we met at Narita Airport as strangers and arrived at JFK NY. Then we took a bus to Boston to enroll in English learning program during Summer. Time flies!

These incredible experiences never happened without support from Takanohana stable. Gift box was also amazing! Thanks for this opportunity.

My elementray friends came to see me and I met most of them for the first time in two decades!! It made me so nostargic and reminded me of childhood. and…Guess what!?
