KAMAKURA 鎌倉

日本はゴールデンウィークのまっただなか！人がたくさんいるだろうけど、ゴールデンウィーク気分を味わうために鎌倉に行ってきました！

Now Japan is in the middle of what it called 'Golden Week'! At the beginning of May, there are many public holidays so that people can get more or less a week holiday depending a year. Even though there are sooooo many people in famous towns, I went to Kamakura with my friends to feel 'Golden Week' haha

ホントにたくさんの人がいるってわかるかな？？
私たちは江ノ電にのらなかったけど、４０分くらい待たなきゃいけなかったみたい！
Can you tell there are exactly soooo many people there?

鎌倉の大仏は結構有名だから、昔の天皇とかが命令してたてたのかと思ったら意外といつ建てられたのかとかそういうことは詳しく説き明かされてないんだね！
This large statue of Buddha is called Daibutsu in Japanese. This one is located in Koutoku-in. Personally I think this Daibutsu is very famous so I thought this had a long story. However, it seems like a story of this Daibutsu is very vague. When exactly this was build is also not unveiled. 

These make me feel 'Oh thank god! I'm in Japan!'  They are Japanese pickles called Otsukemono. I really like these since I was young like an elementary school students even though they are for more like adults who drink alcohol. haha
The last time I visited Kamakura was when I was a junior high school student. At that time, I really wanted to buy some Otsukemono but I didn't have enough money. Poor young Ayah!
So today, I'm a bit grown up. I made up my mind to buy Otsukemono!!!! hahahaha 
日本に帰ってきてよかったと思える食べ物の一つ。お漬物。小さい頃から好きな食べ物はと聞かれお漬物と答えていた私笑
最後に鎌倉に行ったのは中学校の遠足で。その時にお漬物を買いたかったんだけど、お金がなくて買えなかったという悲しい記憶があったので、今日は絶対にお漬物を買うと意気込んで鎌倉にいったわけです笑

あとは麩まんじゅう。お麩のなんともいえない触感がすきなんだけど、今回の麩まんじゅうは冷えてなかったからかな？ちょっといまいち・・・・

たくさん人がいて歩くのも結構大変だったけど、友達と久しぶりに会ってしゃべって笑って、とっても楽しい休日になりました（*^_^*）

今回はちょっと日記テイストなかんじで

みなさんも素敵なゴールデンウィークを！

This is called 'Fu Manju' It seems Manju is normally translated into sweet bean paste bun... This one is Manju but its bun is made from a breadlike food made of wheat gluten.(I'm not sure whether this makes sense or not.... You know it's very difficult to translate very Japanese things into English.) I really like Fu's texture

This post is more like my dairy. I hope you enjoy this and have a nice weekend :) X
