Ramadan and etc

Dear Diary,

Ramadan started on Oct. 5 this year. I had pesantren kilat on Oct 5 -7 and this made me fasting a whole day because all students in my grade did not want to break their fast earlier (although Bu Mulida, my teacher, said children are alowed to do so!). I had fun in pesantren kilat, and I won the 3rd prize for reading Iqra competition, I got a winnie the pooh`s clock. The same present I got last year.

Tokyo is getting cool with a lot of rain. Yesterday, there was an earthquake. Our apartment shaked for a minute. Mom suddenly took me outside and asked me to be calmed down. It was our first earthquake without Dad. Hmmm I wonder there is no eartquake in Sweden, so Dad does not feel scare like we do.

I got two books from library: Inside, Outside, Upside Down, and the other one is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I am going to read them this week. During Ramadan, my school starts at 10 o`clock, so I have plenty of time at home. Mom asks me to do half-day fasting, and I can break my fasting at noon.
