Summer vacation





Summer vacation

I had a really enjoyable summer vacation. There are two reasons. At first, about part-time job. I did a part-time job at a fish shop in summer vacation. There is the shop in my hometown. My hometown is a port town and a fishing town, so there are many fish shops, ships and many fishermen catch fishes.

The contents of my job is gutting fishes, tearing many fishes’ heads, cleaning each of fishes’ blood to process, washing many many bamboo baskets, packing styrene foam with many fishes to ship them, drying many fishes in the sun and so on. What is particularly hard work was washing many bamboo baskets… The reason why I washed the bamboo baskets using water pistol. The begging of the work, I thought this work was very very interesting, but as I did the work, the strength of my grip was gone. Finally, they say that I washed a total of five hundreds bamboo baskets!! When I heard the word, I was astounded. I got six hundreds and eighty yen an hour for my part-time job and working hours of this work start at 8:30 am, finish at 4:30 pm. What is the happiest is my take-home pay increased, the pay went up from 32000 yen to 35000 yen. I had to come back to Aichi, so, the final day, the shopkeeper said "There will be "Minato Ichi'' in December until the end of the month, so I want you to help again." So, I will do this job again to help him.

Secondly, about my niece. I finished NUFS' tests and returned home. I returned there with eager anticipation, because I haven't seen my niece since Golden Week. My niece’s birthday is July 17th, the baby almost have been 1 year old. When I returned home, the baby cried. I was sad but happy because I did not my niece after long time. As the baby played with a toy, the baby has started crawling and getting closer to me. I bought a chair for my niece. And, when I had to come back to Aichi, the baby waved me good-bye. So, I think I’ll stick it out! Finally, I could make a profit and see my niece. Considering the circumstances, I think I had a really enjoyable summer vacation.
