I work at educational service for after school elementary school students. My contracts ends this month and I didn't extend it as I am going to give a birth in June. There are only four more working days to go. I will miss the students and the coworkers.

Italian Restaurant "Ten" at Tamaplaza

Prayer for the safe delivery of the child

In Japan, people go to a shrine, in the 5th month of pregnancy, to pray for the safe delivery of the child. My husband and I went to a shrine last month to pray for the safe delivery of our child. It is said on the Dog's day we do this tradition although we can go on other days. Therefore, if it is on weekend Shrine tends to be crowded. Dog's day comes once per 12 days, like 12 zodiac signs and this year is year of the Dog and last year was year of the Rooster. Each shrine has features, and some shrine is believed that they have divine favor for specific pray. For the safe delivery of the child, Suitengu Shrine is very famous. Its origin comes from Fukuoka, and there are others in Japan. We went to Suitengu Hiranuma Shrine in Yokohama.
