Hey guys! How was your weekend? I hope it was fabulous! A big thanks and congratulations to all of the participants in the speech contest yesterday! You guys was excellent! Last Saturday, I rode my bicycle to Hikari and went to Uniqlo. My grandfather and my brother both have birthdays in January, so I decided to buy my brother a birthday present. My brother, as many of you know, is a glass-blower, so his shop is outside. In the winter, he is always complaining about how cold it is, but he can't wear a coat or anything at work because he is working with fire and baggy clothing that could easily catch fire is dangerous. So, I thought, maybe he would like a heat-tech shirt from Uniqlo. Even if he can't use it this year, I thought maybe he could use it next year. Actually, I already sent him a birthday present. The first birthday present was also a shirt, but a dress shirt. Becuase my brother is an independent glass maker, he has to try to sell his glass to store owners individually, so I thought a nice dress shirt might be good for that. But, I bought the wrong size! My brother is really tall, but really thin, so it's always difficult to buy the correct size for him! My mom said that the shirt was too tight in the shoulders, but my brother kept trying it on anyway, "just to make sure." I thought that was so cute! So, I bought him a new present. If this shirt isn't the right size either, I give up! Hopefully it's OK though! Looking forward to seeing you guys for another great week!
