TH: My favorite place I've been

My favorite place is of course my house. Because I can the most relax there. I can eat something when I want, I can sleep when I want, I can take a bath when I want so I can do something when I want. Especially I like a living room. Why I like the living room because I can eat, watch the TV, sleep and so on. I usually watch DVD if I have a free time. This is my hobby. But TV is not in my room. So I have to go the living room when I want to watch the DVD. But I like my room because I decorated my favorite posters, things and so on. And I can read my favorite magazine drinking favorite drink! I like spending time loosely. I want to do such a thing while Takuma-sai!   143/5617

A woman wearing an apron cane from the house. Her name is Mrs. French. While Henry and Mudge explored, his parent would get some farm things. Henry and Mudge met a lot of farm animals for example goats, chickens, cats, sheeps and goose. But the goose looklike angry. The goose honked Henry and Mudge all the way back th the farmhouse. Mudge looked the goose though the window. Then, Mudge barked. The goose back to the field with surprise.

TH: My favorite shoe

My favorite shoes are Birkenstock. I like the shoes very much. Because this shoes use good leather so it is durable. Specially, I like Boston type. I have it. This type is the most comfortable shoes I think. Because this type hasn't heel part. What is called sabo type. Do you get picture? I wear the shoes almost every day. Then I would like to talk about Birkenstock. Birkenstock was born in Germany. This brand is famous in Japan. Birkenstock's shoes fit your foot shape. The sole of a shoe made by cork. In 90's Birkenstock spread in Japan since a famous talent wore it. Now, I want to buy London and Paris type. These shoes type have heel. But Birkenstock is expensive for me so I can't both of them. I have to save much money. 141/4860
