One day last summer I had a very nice day with my girlfriend and my friends. We all decided one Saturday morning to go out to the beach. So we all organized it, arranged it, we all bought some food and some drinks, met out in Chiba and took a taxi out to the beach.
It was very windy that day but it was still very nice. We all sat on the beach, talked, played in the ocean, ate and drank and then after that we got sunburned and went home. It was a really fun day and we all had a really good time.
