Attending Parties
Jun 15th 2010 06:28
I like to attend parties. I seldom turn down the party I am invited to. There are various kinds of parties such as the wedding party, the dancing party, and the birthday party. Almost every party helps me not only make friends but also open my eyes to the world.
I attended a reunion party of my high school last winter. I met many classmates for a long time in ages. I was surprised because some people totally changed their look.^^ A teacher who was in charge of my classroom also attended the party. I talked with them a lot, which reminded me of my high school days. I had a lot of fun!
I heard there is a party called a baby shower. It's held before childbirth, right? It's not common in Japan to have such a party before delivering although people celebrate after delivering. It's part of cultural difference, right?
What else party which can't be seen in Japan do you think of?

I seldom turn down a party I am invited to.
I met many classmates for a long time that I hadn't met in ages.
I talked with him/her a lot, which reminded me of my high school days.
Can you think of any other types of parties that can't be seen in Japan ?
Excellent writing :)
Some cultures don't even name an infant until they are 30 days old.
I happen to think it is a way to sell a bunch of silver baby rattles.
I've been told that Christmas in Japan is great. Not quite on par with Germany, but still not bad. Maybe one day I'll see for myself!
Thanks a lot for your corrections and comment.
As for the second correction, I wanted to write 'for the first time' instead of 'for a long time' in this sentence.
I'm not totally sure why. ^^;
However, I'm lucky to learn another way to express what I wanted to say. ^^
Baby showers are commonly held in your country, right?
At least, I've never seen or heard someone throw the party in Japan.
Anyway, it seems to have a tender atmosphere in the party. ^^
Thanks very much for the compliment.
I'll try my best in order to reach my goal in the future!
Thanks a lot for your comment.
I know how you feel because mothers' conditions before delivering are not totally safe.
I heard about the baby shower in an article.
The article said that a pregnant woman was taken to the hospital because she broke water at the middle of the baby shower.
In addition, I was very surprised to know there is the custom that babies can't receive their names until they turn 30 days old.
That means that the chance of living for even such a short time is remote in that country, I suppose.
