Original

In my generation there was a popular cartoon called calabash brothers. It’s a story about seven brothers who born in calabash and they fight with a snake, who is a bad guy in the story. Finally the calabash brothers win and they live with their grandfather happily. Another popular thing I think is collecting a complete set of Saint Seiya cards. It was very popular during those days. Almost every day after school my classmates and I bought a little pack of snack and got a blindness pack of card. I opened the pack of card as soon as possible and hoped that I can get a new personage card we didn’t have. If the card I had already but my classmates didn’t get one, then we would change it. In my memory, I didn’t get a complete set of that card. It is so difficult to collect all. That’s interesting time.
