Natsuyasumi （夏休み、なつやすみ）is here!

 

 

 

Hi everyone! It’s almost the end of June, and some of you might have already started the summer break(natsu yasumi 夏休み　なつやすみ). For my kids, their last day of school was in mid June, so they have been enjoying their break since then. What are you planning on doing during this summer? Are you perhaps traveling to anywhere?
