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.

Lisa wants to buy a new shoes and goes shopping. At the shoes store she tries some very nice shoes. Black shoes are very comfortable but are quite expensive. Lisa leaves shoes on the store floor and goes home without new shoes.

I cooked a memorable soup today. This soup is passed down from my grandmother to my mother. And my mother taught me how to cook. It needs 3 tomatoes, some cut block bacons, and 1 clove whole. That's all. It's very simple, isn't it? Even some water isn't needed. Even seasonings aren't needed. It's so nutritious and delicious and also, easy to cook. I love it very much. Unfortunately, the founder of this soup, my grandmother passed away early in this year. I've cooked it many times, but today's soup tasted more special than usual.

Today was piled up today! ❄️ Snow is really beautiful, but it’s too cold. The familiar landscape was covered in snow.

It's overcast today. This morning, I was informed that my teeth braces were ready, and I was about to get my teeth capped. No one had expected it could be this quick. The process was less terrifying than I thought. It constantly gives you a tense feeling in your teeth, which is quite strange at first, but before long, you can get used to it. My dad has started calling me names like “brace face” and “smiley”. From now on, I'd better keep my mouth shut in normal times.
