I wonder if I'll able to carry out something that I decide to do. The reason why I concerned about this is that I've never achieved my goal as I thought. Every New Year's Eve, I've made few purpose to improve myself: read English books at least 3 times, do exercise every day, be considerate to others anytime so on. My resolution of next year is improving my English; hearing conversation, reviewing grammer, and practicing speaking, even though after I go back Japan. These days I think the most difficult thing to achieve is not to obtain some skills you wanted but also to keep on doing the things you decided to do for a year. But, I swear I'll work on my English improvement!!!

Speaking the day that almost all Japanese eat same things is New Years Day. On the day, Japanese eat traditional food that is called "Osechi". Osechi contains many kind of food: shrimp, sea tangle, bean, boiled fish paste, maron so on. Every food that is included in Osechi has good luck meaning. For instance, shrimp. As you know, shrimp's back hunched up. This mean that if you are getting more and more old, even though your back will be hunched up like shrimp, we wish you alive longer and your health. It's interesting and curious food to know each meaning. I would like to you to eat and go through this Japanese tradition.
