F-1 in Suzuka

This is just a random post.

I'm from Tsu-city, Mie prefecture in Kinki region.
My prefecture is very rural and the capital city of the prefecture, Tsu-city which is my hometown is the second least populated capital of any prefectures in Japan (The least populated capital is yamaguchi city as in the Chugoku region presentation).
Several years ago, Yamaguchi city consolidated smaller municipalities to be the second least populated capital, then Tsu-city became the least populated capital, but then Tsu-city consolidated small villages around it to be the second least populated city again. Good job my homwtown.

Mie prefecture is famous for some things. Matsusaka beef, Ise Shrine(<-this shrine was in the video we watched in class), and F1(Formula 1 Auto Race) in Suzuka city.

Suzuka Circuit is locaed close to Honda Suzuka factory (my father was working for this factory), and the circuit was long famous for F1. Especially when F1 was a big boom in Japan around 1990, so many people came to Suzuka to see the race. I also went to see the race. The race was on Sunday, so we had to get there Saturday afternoon to get seats and stay there overnight. Me and my friend went there even in the exam week (I didn't care tests at all when I was going to highschool).

F1 in Japan was moved to Fuji Speedway (Chubu region) last year, but the news says it's coming back to Suzuka this year. I'm happy.

I was writing a paper tonight, and I'm so exhausted. I don't know why I'm writing this when I don't have many time. I often do things when I don't have to and make myself more busy. I'll get 4 hours sleep and go to school. By the way is there anybody who is not busy on Monday? I need someone who correct my English in the paper. It's a 3,4-page-long critical review on an article which talks about some research on Japanese learning (I'm taking an applied linguistic class). If you could do this sometime Monday, I'll wait for your textmessage to 704-975-3191. Arigatou! (Thank you)
