Staying Together

The first book I read for the reading class is "Staying Together".  I borrowed it from the library in my college.

 

The story is sort of love story… Ikuko goes to England to study promising to return to Japan to get married. However, in Birmingham, Ikuko not only discovers another way of life also a great deal about herself. This is a powerful story about a love that is carried across three continents and even time it self…

 

I was attracted by the phrase: a love that is carried across three continents and even time itself… How romantic it is!! That’s why I chose this book.

 

Before I read the book and while I was reading it, I was very excited. However I’ve finished reading, I felt sad. This story made me think about the harsh realities of life. It taught me it is difficult to continue loving only one person forever, and environment and time change our mind.

On the other hand, it also taught me all encounters are connected beyond time and space. I’ll treasure encounters one by one whether it is good or not.

Hello ♡

I'll introduce myself...

I'm Kazuho and from Osaka, Japan. I go to a college in Kyoto and major in English. I've been studying English for the future. My dream job is an English conversation teacher for children, so I'm going to study abroad for a year to improve my English skills.

My hobby is visiting cafes, jogging, walking, watching DVDs, and listening to music.

I love sweets, especially Japanese green tea. I like the time chatting with friends at cafes.

 

I belonged to the track and field club for six years and I was a long-distance runner. In my free time, I go to jogging by the river, or strolling with my dog. That refreshes me.

I belong I.S.C. (the International Student Association of Japan) now.

I'm watching an American TV drama "One tree hill". It's really interesting.

My favorite singer is Taylor Swift, YUI, and Tonight Arrive.

If you like movies or music, tell me your recommendation, please.

Thank you.
