I watched the video about "Diwai", which is one of the most significant festival in India and it is called "the Festival of Light". The festival is the new year's festival of Hinduism. It's a five-day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sands, and special candles and lamps.

I have never known the festival. I examined for the festival from wikipedia, if you go shopping during the festival, you'll be happy, so the store put effort into sale. I want to go to India during "Diwai".

I watched the videoabout Japanese culture, especially "Ikebana" and "tea ceremony". Ikebana is an art of flower and quite different from Western style flower arrangement, and Tea ceremony is a certain way to make tea, not only make tea, but have a certain way, for example it's to wipe a bowl. To learn them, you need to go to a school because there is some professionals both flower arrangement and tea ceremony.

In fact, I  have learned to tea ceremony since high school student, so I often make matcha. Many people have an image that matcha is bitter, but they may feel it delicious if they drink it many times. In addition, it's a good way to learn Japanese culture. That's way, I like "tea ceremony".

I couldn't see the annular solar eclipse this morning. Then I was getting on a train.

By the way, I work in supermarket as a cashier, and I had a part-time job yesterday and the day before yesterday. There were many people who came to buy the glass for the eclipse, but it sold out all.

I want to see the transit of Venus in June 6th.
