self sufficiency

The nation's food self-sufficiency is low in Japan.
We have chiep foreign foods everyday.
No one knows they are safety or not.

Valentine Day

Is it a Japanese unique event that a woman send chocolate to a favorite man in valentine day?

Is it a strategy of Japanese Chocolate Company?

Hiroshima

I was born in Hiroshima, Japan.

Last week I went to Hiroshima city for my sister's wedding party, and I see the Hiroshima Peace Memorial including Atomic Bomb Dome.

Japan is the first and only country where Atomic Bomb was used (twice!)

In my childhood I was heard about WW2 and Atomic Bomb damages.

On August 6th, we had to go to school every year, although it was in summar vacation.

Since 1945 August, people have never used the Atomic Bomb.

I hope I can say the same word 10 years later and 20 years later and .......

National Center Test

On last saturday and sunday, national center tests for university were held in Japan.

I took the center test more than 10 years ago. Oh memories!

In the past, an academic ability of Japanese students are No1 in the world.

But now, it have declined.

It can't be helped , I think, because academic ability will grow in economic growing coutries, not mature country like Japan.

if we want to become No1 again, we have to become poor again??

First Snow

Snow!

Yesterday first snow in this season falls in Tokyo.

I live in Okayama (more country than Tokyo) and I have never seen much snow recently.

In my childhood, we could see more snow and we can play snowball fight every year!

Now I can see much snow in ski resort only.

It is a result of global warming trend......
