@ Rice Fields, Japan Tammy has now completed her journey through Shikoku! As she prepares to go home, she receives a wonderful gift! Fox, Skating On The Pond Hello, all my dear friends. Glad you could join me on this crisp winter day. I brought my skates, and I see you have yours too. Skating is a popular wintertime sport. Nowadays, with indoor rinks– can you imagine such a thing–you can skate all year round. But I prefer to be outside, and this pond is large enough and smooth enough to provide a lot of fun for all to skate.
I am going to warm up a bit— always a good idea—stretch those muscles and then do some pirouettes. I have been practicing some double axels I have a problem with the second one. After we have skated for a while, how about we play some hockey? Then we can enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies at my house.
Rice Fields, Japan Nakayama rice fields, Shodoshima. Rice is a staple part of the Japanese diet, for example, in sushi, and it is felt more important in Japan to have a rice cooker than an oven. Tammy has enjoyed her journey through Shikoku, but it is time to go home now! "xxxxxx" is over now, but there will be more events in PnF soon!
