<p>I&#8217;ve been there more than 5 times but still I desire to visit there again.</p>
<p>I can and many people who visited there say all together &#8220;Keukenhof is the most beautiful flower park in the world&#8221;. It is not too much to say that &#8220;Keukenhof&#8221; is fantastic, amazing and brilliant!!!!</p>
<p>Everywhere is flower and flower. And one of the best things is good color combination. I feel the Dutch&#8217;s talent for flowers and colors.</p>
<p>Not only &#8220;keukenhof park&#8221; but also other places are beautiful. If you are lucky ( I mean if you visit there just the right time) you can see fields which are coverd with flowers!!</p>
<p>Flower curpet \(^o^)/</p>

Normally we display specific dolls (Hinaningyou) on a tiered stand. These specific dolls when a baby girl is born, her parents or grandparents buy the dolls. There are some meanings why we give the girl &#8220;Hinaningyou&#8221;.

<p>Normally we display specific dolls (Hinaningyou) on a tiered stand. These specific dolls when a baby girl is born, her parents or grandparents buy the dolls. There are some meanings why we give the girl &#8220;Hinaningyou&#8221;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you one of them which is the most important wish from the parents of the girl.</p>
<p>The dolls are believed to protect the girl from evil forever.</p>
<p>When I was a child, my mother cooked special dinner for &#8220;Hinamatsuri&#8221;. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Chirashizushi&#8221; . It&#8217;s kind of sushi but looks completely differents and the ingredients also! Few times I wore &#8220;Kimono&#8221;!!</p>
<p>My mother&#8217;s friend sent me a little &#8220;Hinaningyou&#8221; for me! If you want to see real &#8220;Hinaningyou&#8221;, please google!!</p>
<p>Normally &#8220;Hinaningyou&#8221; is consist of seven steps. We call it &#8220;Nana dan kazari&#8221;.</p>
