My mom went to Nagano prefecture to see the sights last weekend. Then she bought two "Omaomori" for me when she visited a Shinto Shrine Kouzen-ji. Omaomri is a paper charm of a god or Buddha used for protection or making a wish. She made a wish for my safe journey to Ireland and happy life in there. I'm really happy with them because it means she accepted my decision and now backs me up.
