Oizumi-machi is my hometown (Japanese)
(Japanese) Oizumi-machi might be the one place that I feel most strongly as my hometown. At least now. I did live in Brazil until age ten, but it was too, uh, my memory is, like, the time I spent there was too short. Since Oizumi-machi is where I lived from age ten to nearly age 20, until I entered college, many of my friends live in this area. And now most of my relatives, too, they have moved here, so Oizumi-machi is the place where I feel like "that's my hometown."
