Thailand’s Songkran Festival!

     Today I listened to a podcast about Thailand's culture. They talked about a traditional festival in Thailand. The festival is the Songkran Festival. It was not only a water festival but also a festival that people in Thailand celebrate for New Year based on the lunar calendar.  It is held for about three days every year.  There is a ritual similar to it in Thailand. It is the Rod Nam Dum Hua ritual. In it, people regard water as what wash their unfortunate off and pour fragrant water over Buddha statues.

Winter Vacation

In winter vacation, I went to my grandparents' house. I have not met my grandparents for a long time, so I was very happy! In their house, I met my cousin for the first time in a long time and spent a lot of time playing a computer game with them. I was the oldest of all, but I lost this game, because I was not good at doing it. In addiction, I ate a lot of delicious food. For example, I ate crabs and oysters. The most delicious food is NEW YEAH dishes which my grandmather made. That's why I am worried about my weight. I also got a car license and drove my family's car. It was much larger than car school's car,so I was very scared. However, it was very fun.

Religion

  My high school believed charistianity, so all students had worship everymorning. During this, we sang a lot of hymns and read the holy sentences. In addition, christmas party was held once a year. It was very important experience for me, because I hadn't know charistianity well before. Now, I will introduce my favorite holy sentence. 　　　” Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances. ”   This is The First Epistle to the Thessalonians in the New Testament. It means that our life is not natural, so we have to appriciate everythings. It is very beautibul sentense. There are a lot of great sentences in bible. Please try to read it!
