Third-graders in Japan like Mina go to elementary school on the weekdays. She had a lot of interesting things to say about her life in Japan! Do you have anything in common with Mina? What about things that are different?
I eat bread for breakfast. For lunch, I usually eat rice with either fish or furikake (a kind of seasoning that is sprinkled over rice). For dinner, I eat macaroni and cheese, or fish and rice.
It's a mess! We have a table with chairs and two bathrooms. My room is tatami (a traditional style in Japan, with woven mats on the floor) and has lots of bunny baby dolls. We have a big backyard and I have eight pet sea urchins.
No chores, but sometimes I help take out the trash.
My dad draws houses (he's an architect). My mom is a teacher but right now she cleans the house.
