AFGHAN

- to the Afghan version to the Japanese version -


Hello everyone. I’m Mirai Watanabe. Mirai means future. I’m 15 years old and first grader in high school.
I have nine families. It’s my parents, my grand parents, two older brothers and two sisters. I am often said that you have too many families by my friends. I often reply that I have a good time everyday with my family.

This picture is one of my sisters. She is five years old. Her name is Sekai. Sekai means world. Don’t you think that it’s very big name? She is named by my father. He hopes that she will become a great person. She is still small, but she assumes his big dream. Needless to say, my name is big too.


This photograph is taken when I was a junior high school student. They are all of my classmates. We took it in Kyoto.
Kyoto is one of very beautiful city in Japan. There are many beautiful places in Kyoto. For example, Kinkaku-ji temple, 
Ginkaku-ji temple, Kitano-Tenman-gu shrine and Kiyomizudera temple. Kinkaku-ji is covered with gold, but Ginkaku-ji isn’t covered with silver.
Long long ago, it is built by shogun, Shogun is a kind of Japanese emperor.In kitano-tanman-gu shrine, a god of study lives in. We prayed at the Shinto shrine.
We took this picture at Kiyomizudera temple. A view from there is very beautiful.A change of the seasons of Kyoto is very beautiful. Especially colored leaves in autumn are the most beautiful in seasons. Please look once by all means.


This is my computer. I like using this computer.
I like listening to the music. I like having a chat with various people too. I can enjoy them at a time by using the computer. It’s one of good points of a computer.
In addition, a computer is very convenient. An E-mail, a chat, a homepage, I have many way to communicate with people around the world. I am very glad to birth in this time.
