My Hometown

2015-03-13


I grew up in southwest Florida in a city called Cape Coral. The climate in south Florida is warm - similar to Okinawa.


Kei Nishikori, the Japanese tennis player, lives in Bradenton, Florida, just north of my hometown. Sometimes I see him in pictures or TV commercials with Florida scenery. It makes me a little homesick!


Florida is called “The Sunshine State” because it is clear and sunny most days of the year. In winter, many people come to Florida from the north to escape the cold. We call them “Snow Birds”.
