On Sep 4,
Simon, Meiko and myself went to Universal Studios Japan (USJ), which is
one of the most popular amusement park in Osaka.
Since it's 15th anniversary this year, children in Osaka can go though the gate for free. Bjørn doesn't like amusement park in general, so I was planning to go there with Simon. Then we found Meiko wanted to join us.
We left home at 8:00 in the morning and stay USJ until 9:00 at night.
Re-born is the theme of this year, and it was so enjoyable, refreshable and we felt 'Re-born' mentally. On the other hand, It was so tiring physically and we could hardly walk when we went home.
August 6, three of us went to a big fireworks event in Umeda (central osaka).
We were worried that it will be too crowded, and I had concern if Bjørn and Simon can endure it for many hours, though I got used to such a situation.
On the other hand, I wanted to do something summer like and Bjørn agreed to the idea, which was a positive surprise to me. Therefore we bought seat tickets to ensure we can see the fireworks from best angle.
As a result, it was really a great time for us.
It was so beautiful, powerful and impressive.
Simon could enjoy the one hour fireworks.
If you have time, please take a look at the edited version, though we couldn't shoot it by ourselves.
On July 31, we went to a elementary school to enjoy games and fireworks.
日曜日、近所の小学校のお祭りに行きました。
Hinata just arrived by chance
We went to a haunted house. Simon was very confident before coming in. However he closed his eyes right after the start, and never opened them, being behind me tightly, until we went out the room.
As a result, he didn't see any ghost so it was not so terrible for him!
Simon's Summer holidays started and he enjoys relaxing days at home, which means Bjørn's life is not relaxing now.
July 30, we went to Osaka Science museum, in order to enjoy planetarium, as that was one of Simon's wish.
As you see in the HP, exhibition related to science, universe, chemical etc. were great and Simon enjoyed them all day. As Science is not my first interest, I almost fell asleep on the floor, whereas Bjørn was excited at watching them.
I brought our camera to capture our holidays, but Bjørn found the battery was not in.
