Recount text assignment





That time was around the end of 2014. Me and a friend of mine planned to go to a Japanese festival held not too far from our home, our house are near each other so it’s easy to plan everything out. As far as I remember we used a taxi to go there. It was not a long trip actually, it’s just that my parents are so over protective, they won’t let me use anything else other than trusted transportation and such. Fortunately my friend didn’t really mind.
 
That morning, it seems like we came pretty early that there’s not too much people and the vendor are still managing their stands. It was a large hall with rows of table, we decided to visit one by one from the far corner to the end. The merchandise they sell there was all very cute and cool, I have to refrain myself to not spend all my money before I get to look at all the stuff, in case there was something I really like and prefer more than the others. My other friend who can’t go with us gave us some money to buy her some goods. Actually, way before the event, I already pre-ordered a poster and an illustration book of a series I really like, when I received them I was very happy, the art was really nice, I later gave the poster featuring my friend’s favourite character for her, she was as happy as I am. It quickly started to get crowded, I saw lots of cosplayers walking around, they were all pretty good, it almost felt like the characters actually came to live. We retreated to the bench and sat, my friend said she was glad I informed her about the event. Then when we are resting, I took a quick look around once more, and found a postcard with the picture of one of my favourite character, it cost… exactly as many as the money I have left, but then again, I saw another postcard! I was debating with myself whether to buy that one or the other one. I finally decided to go for the first one, I didn’t regret my choice.

When we decided we were done, we went home, at home, I opened the illustration book and was impressed by the amazing art. I felt contented about the day, which I still remember until this day.
