Homecoming

Jan 3, 2016 23:29
Today, I was return home because I could pack up my work.

I arrived at my home in the evening, and gave my nephew and niece a New Nintendo 3DS as otoshidama.

Then we ate dinner, and after that, my mother and my brother-in-law and I went to watch Star Wars Episode 7.

Actually my mother and I didn't watch episode 4, 5, and 6, but we really enjoyed it.

There were some difficult parts to understand, but my brother-in-law explained it to us.

I am a little tired today.

Good night.
帰省

今日は仕事が一段落ついたので実家に帰省しました。

夕方に家につき、甥っ子と姪っ子にお年玉として New Nintendo 3DS をプレゼントしました。

それから家族で夕飯を食べ、母と義兄とスターウォーズエピソード7を観に行きました。

実は私はエピソード4〜6を観ていなかったのですが、楽しかったです。

よくわからないところは、義兄が解説してくれました。

今日は疲れたのでもう寝ます。

おやすみなさい。

I enjoyed the new Star Wars movie too. I watched it at the only IMAX theater with a 4K laser projector in New England. :)

Thank you very much for the corrections and explanations! :)
Wow, the IMAX theater with a 4K laser projector sounds so fantastic. I really want to the theater someday.
thethinker83
There are only eight of these theaters in the entire world. Maybe there is one in Japan? :)
kanotown
Eight?! The number is really small... You're right, according to the Internet, one of them seems to be located in Osaka. I will visit Osaka in next September to participate in an academic conference, so I will reserve a ticket of the theater at that time, hehe.
