七月三十一日(shichigatsu sanjyuichi nichi): July 31

The end of July. How fast time flies! How was your July? I was busy for both public and private. There were many gatherings this month and I met many friends after a long time.
Tonight I watched the TV program of the 33rd Sumida River Fireworks festival, which lasted for about 2 hours. There were more than 20,000 fireworks shot off. They were so beautiful. Last year there were more than 940,000 spectators.
I think the fireworks festivals in Japan are one of the best summer things we can be proud of. I hope you have a chance to see them wearing yukata (浴衣) someday. I am looking forward to seeing one of them next week.
