It's sunny today. I am still having a hard time adjusting to my brace. It feels so weird; gradually, I can sense it pulling on my teeth. And by the way, I literally talk like I'm holding a pebble in my mouth now, which is quite laughable. Maybe this is the time I should do more writing and less talking; anyway, my dentist doesn't recommend that I talk much recently.

You might have recently heard the new product released by Apple called Apple Vision Pro. If you see a person who wearing a pair of amazing VR glasses and waving his hands in the air, don't try to stop him, because he is just working. This new product reminds me of the great man Jobs, who was introducing a phone in his hand on a new product launch event many years ago. The phone was very different from the phones we were using at the same time . That kind of phones created a era later. Then it benefited all the people around the world and created a lof of new career fileds, such as livestreaming. So, what the Apple Vision Pro will bring to us? I really want to buy one, because when I look down on my phone, it doesn't attract me any more. I don't know when my phone will be replaced by a Apple Vision Pro, and how it changes our world? But this is not what I am going to taalk about today. What I want to know is that whether this new product can make the pictures or videos bigger and further in virtual reality? After all, we are suffering from myopia causde by using smart phones since they were invented. So, I think that how to treat myopia with the benefits from VR and AI will become the hottest career field in the future.

You can also add me with my mobile phone number Yes, I would be happy to. What about Friday 8 pm after Miriam?

☕️ Britain's famous "afternoon tea" started as an upper-class practice in southern England in the 19th century. It soon became a popular, formal social event. Apart from tea itself, people mostly ate small, sweet snacks so that they weren't hungry between lunch and dinner. 🏭 In working-class areas in the north, meanwhile, the term "high tea" had gained prominence in the 18th century during the start of the Industrial Revolution. Although it sounds similar, this was actually people's main evening meal after a hard day's work, including warm, savoury dishes. Today, many people in the north still call this meal "tea" rather than "dinner". People may confuse "afternoon tea" and "high tea" nowadays, but they're historically very different concepts. Having said that, afternoon tea in the 21st century is more accessible than it was in the past, meaning that people from most economic backgrounds can enjoy the tradition. 🍰🍵 What's the most appropriate way to complete the sentence below?

If I do say so myself, my country is famous for its safety. Some people say that Japanese takes peace for granted... I think that is also correct. If I want to keep my sheet, I leave my wallet on my sheet. (Sometimes, I'm advised not to do that) There's no pickpocket on trains, busses, subways etc. It has nothing to do with travelers, but there's so many phone scams in my country. Phone scam is like this: (Phone calls) A: Hello? B: Hi mom, it's me! A: Who? B: It's me! A: John? B: Yeah, help me mom. I have a traffic accident so I need $10,000 as soon as possible. Can you transfer it to me within today? A: Oh no my son...! Are you OK? Well... um... O, OK, I do. B: Thanks. I'll say my account number, it's ... In this situation, person B is not John. B is pretending to be a family member. Elderly people can't judge their children's voices easily and they loose their much money. Elders population is bigger than children population in my country. Therefore, the number of this scams are increasing. Many Japanese are kind to travelers, but to be honest there's many crimes in my country as same as other countries. Is my country safe for the inhabitants?

Yes, in my childhood, I was fighting a lot with my sisters. Sometimes our fight was of very serious type, I mean we were injuring each other. Now, when we gather in our home we remind that time and have a very sweet discussion on it.

It's a few days ago. In Japan, we hold "Setsubun" event on February 3rd every year. It is written as 節分in kanji. Setsubun means "the division between winter and spring". In other words, February 3rd is the last day of winter on Japanese traditional calendar. Long time ago, it was thoght that demons would come on the day so people scattered soy beans to drive away demons. Even now, many parents wear demon costumes and surprise their children! Children throw soy beans at the parents demons while crying lol. When we scatter soy beans, we have to say "Ogres out! Fortune in!" In Japanese, "Oni wa Soto! Fuku wa Uchi!" In addition, we have to do so many things on Setsubun! 1. Throw soy beans at demons (as I already explained) 2. Eat soy beans as same number as own age (If you're 18 years old, you have to eat 18 soy beans) 3. Eat "Ehōmaki (恵方巻)" while facing the lucky direction without saying a word Soy beans which use on Setsubun are not normal ones. It is called "fukumame (福豆)", fortune soy beans. So we eat fortune power via soy beans. Ehōmaki is a special fortune meal for Setsubun. It looks like big and long sushi roll. It should not be cut. It's delicious, but little hard to eat perfectly. It's a strange event, but it's happy to hear "Oni wa Soto! Fuku wa Uchi!" from neighbors every year.
