Table Manners

1.Have you ever eaten in a restaurant in a foreign country? Where? What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience.
I've never eaten in a restaurant in a foreign country, so I would like to write about my experience in a Italian restaurant in Japan.
I made some mistakes...
I mistook the way of using spoon. When we eat soup, we have to scoop up with a spoon from the front. But, I did reversely... So, I was pointed out the mistake by my mother.
Also, I was using my napkin wrong side out...This mistake is scatterbrained rather than bad table manner.haha
It's difficult to try anything new!!!

2. Did you learn anything?
I learned table manners are very important to enjoy meal!!!
Bad manners make people feel bad. Meanwhile, good manners make people feel more HAPPY So, I have to understand each of countries' table manners.

Anyway, I watched on TV about to make noise when we eat buckwheat noodles.
That TV program said it's in order to enhance flavor of buckwheat by breathe the air.
I think it's similar to the case of wine. Of course, we don't make noise when we drink wine, but it's because we move wine all around our wine .

Weddings

1.Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea? Why?
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
Because, the bigger the ceremony is, the more expensive it is in Japan.
If we can invite a lot of people, we can be blessed by a lot of people.
Also, a lot of people can get happy feelings.

2. What do you think about eloping? Is it a good idea or romantic? Why?
I think eloping is not good.
On TV dramas, it's depicted as romantic episodes. Certainly, eloping may be a proof of their deep love. They may not want anything but to be with their lovers.
However, it's difficult to live without cooperation. I think family is the best supporter. I want to believe LOVE can move parents' hearts!!!

3. Have you ever thought about having a wedding in a foreign location like Hawaii? Would you do it? Why?Or Why not?
Yes, I have.
I yearn for a wedding in a foreign location☆
However, I'll not do it. Because, it's very expensive...  And, I think it's difficult to organize.
After all, I LOVE JAPAN!!!haha

4.What is your ideal wedding?
My ideal wedding is hold a ceremony in a restaurant with atmosphere.
I want to have a buffet party, and want to make a original wedding cake!! Of course, I want to wear a fashionable white wedding dress♪” Even if it's a small ceremony, it makes me very happy☆★

5.What would you definitely do, wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?
I would read a letter to my parents & friends on a ceremony.
I can't express thanks to their face for shame. So, I would like to use this good opportunity to say"Thank you!!!!!"

6. Have you ever been to a foreigner's wedding? What was your impression?
No, I've never been to there.
By the way, I want to go to a Spanish wedding!! Because, they march down the street. At first, performers march down, and a couple and guests follow them.
This is a cartoon film of Spanish wedding. Please check it out♪→
