Hi!
I visited my mom at work yesterday. She works at the airport.
Visiting me airport made me excited as I will be on a plane, too, soon!
I saw 雛人形(Hina Ningyo), the dolls for 雛祭り(Hina Matsuri), the Girl's Festival on March 3rd. Family with girls display those dolls, hoping their impurities and misfortunes would move from them to the dolls.
And they offer 桃の花(Momo no Hana, peach blossoms), 菱餅(Hishi Mochi, red, white and green lozenge-shaped rice cake) and 白酒(Shiro Zake, sweet white sake) to get rid of their impurities and misfortunes.
On that day, people eat 散らし寿司(Chirashi Zushi, vinegared rice topped with fish, vegetables, eggs and other stuff), 蛤のお吸い物(Hamaguri no Osuimono, clam soup) and 雛霰(Hina Arare, the special rice crackers for the festival).
They drink 甘酒(Ama Zake, a sweet slightly alcoholic drink made from fermented rice).
It sounds so much fun but I'm a boy. They also have a Boy's Festival on May 5th, though.
By the way, I'm visiting England!!! I really can't wait
