The Coming of Age Ceremony

This day was special for me; The Coming of Age Day.

I came back to my hometown Hiroshima for the ceremony.My parents had bought me ''Furisode'' on my 20 th birthday for this day. Furisode is a long-sleeved kimono. My Furisode is white color studded with embroidery of purple cherry blossom. I liked it very much.

On that day, I got up early and went to the beauty salon to have my hair set and my kimono dressed in the early morning. Then I attended the ceremony and met my old friends. We talked about the present conditions each other and took photographs together. There were a few people drinking sake in the ceremony. I thought they were stupid.

After the ceremony, I and my friend went to the alumni association. I met a lot of good old friends there. We drank and talked, and our feeling ran high! Then we went karaoke and of course drank alcohole there.

The next day, needless to say, I had a hangover...
I thought that I would be moderate in drinking...
