I hope, it won’t be a year  

Like every year.

I hope that day will come.

When I see my darling wearing

her wedding dress holding my hand 

Our families are standing around us.

An overwhelming joy shades us   

I hope this day will come,

I wear my shirt, my full suit.

My friends, my colleagues, my classmates

They come and sing until the morning.

A crowded house of laughter.

Then I say this is my wife,

my world and my wish.

I hope it won’t be a year

Like every year.

This is the most beautiful year

I will introduce a traditional Japanese drum. There are several traditional Japanese instruments, but the drum is the most famous and popular instrument in Japan. The size of the drum varies from large to small, and the playing style also varies. Sometimes they are played by a person and sometimes they are played by a group. When a group plays them, the sound has a beautiful harmony.

This is Kodo's promotional video. Kodo is one of the most famous groups that played the drum. Enjoy the sound. htt

Hello, Guys. 

Let's see if you can answer this joke... 

Someone who doesn't know much English wants to invite an English Speaker to take dinner with him. He points at his own home and says "Come".

Now the question is: how can he tell the guest to leave home when they are done?

Guys, it's just a joke. So, please don't be serious around it, and try to wear your sense of humor answering it :D

I was expecting more members to read it along with us but somehow we as two people  (NotAClue) started to read it and I have rec
