What happens twice happens three times
I went to Kyoto with my friend. Kyoto reminds you of temples and other tourist attractions, I suppose. However, that is not the only thing you can choose. I visited the northern part of Kyoto, the Tango peninsula. The seafood was really nice and I enjoyed the hot spring, or onsen, there, too. The next day we went to Ishizu city, which is famous for soba, buckwheat noodles. And then to Kobe.
Well, I enjoyed this trip very much, but I experienced some awful things. First, on our way to the hotel I saw a man lying on the street. He was hit by a car while he was riding his motor scooter. When we were passing by, we wanted to help, but other people were already there and helping him. So we kept on driving. Soon after this, a heavy rain set in and suddenly there was lots of lightning. All the traffic lights were off and we were at a loss. A few minutes later the lights came back.
The next day, though the weather forecast said it would be rainy, it was fine and we were happy. However, when we were in Kobe it started raining again and there was lightning and thunder again, too. On the highway lightning came down thick and fast and then we saw another accident: multiple collisions. There were three cars that crashed into each other and behind them two more cars piled up.
I hope an old proverb won’t come true this time.

Yeah, it has many places to visit.
Well, after visiting Ama-no-hashidate, I went to Kotohiki beach. It was really beautiful. White sand and blue ocean! The beach is famous for its sand: it is called Naki-suna or singing sand. When you walk on the beach, you’ll hear some faint sounds. Koto is a Japanese traditional harp and hiki is a conjugated version of hiku, to play. So, you understand why we call it Kotohiki beach, don’t you?
In Japan there are many good beaches. I once visited Diamond beach in Fukui. And a few times I went to the sea on Shima peninsula. All beautiful.
I hope all of you enjoyed summer, on the beach, in the mountains, or anywhere you like.
I enjoyed my summer break but I was about to be injured. I rode on ‘steel dragon 2000’ in Nagashima Spaland just before the acccident happened! When I heard the news later, I was very surprised and terrified…

Hello, Wakako-senpai.
I also went to northern part of Kyoto, Amanohashidate, last weekend. It is said that Amanohashidate is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Japan, but I didn’t think it was so beautiful at the first glance. However, I enjoyed cycling on the beach, viewing the scenery from the observatory and cruising around the bay.
As Eri-san said in an entry about Kyoto once, Kyoto has many places to visit, doesn’t it?
