1 week in Tokyo - Day 1: 祭り(matsuri)

Hello, I am one of the friends of Miss Happy Feet! Just call me Jeanne. 

Invited by Miss Happy Feet, I am going to write on Tokyo Trip. My friend, Jane, just came to Tokyo last week, and I will write on the days I spent with her in centre of Tokyo.

Day 1: 祭り(matsuri, which means festival)

Jane reached Narita at 0845 and took Keisei Skyliner to Nippori station and we met there. When we arrived at the Minami-senju station, there was a group of people walking around the roundabout with traditional costumes and a sacred palanquin. I think they were pracitising.

I knew about Woman’s day from 3M报 since I was in standard 2. And I knew that it is celebrated on 8^th march annually but I’ve never celebrated one before in Malaysia or seen any celebration happening. I guess Malaysians are not s keen about celebrating this day. After I came to Russia, this fact took a direct opposite turn as the Woman’s day is a big deal for these Russians. Woman’s day is one of the biggest celebration, only next to Victory day and New Year. 

I feel blessed when the boys work hard to create lovely memories for us girls as the best souvenirs. Thank you to all who put your effort in this event, and happy woman’s day to all the girls out there!
