How's it going

Dagens avsnitt handlar om mitt klädbytarevent som jag höll i helgen. Klädbytardagar är ett koncept som jag älskar så mycket. Det är ett hållbart sätt att både ge och få. Jag pratar om hur fast fashion inte är hållbart och att alla borde starta ett klädbytarevent i sin stadsdel. Jag lovar det är hur kul som helst.

# 2 My typical day  (+transcription)

今日は「むさこ論争」について話しました。
「むさこ」は、日本の地名にある略語です。その地名とは、①武蔵小杉 ②武蔵小山 ③武蔵小金井、です。
さて、この三つの地名、どれも「むさこ」と略すことができます。
ではどの地域が「むさこ」なのでしょう。
他にも、山梨県と静岡県の「富士山論争」についても話しました。
地元に対する愛は持っていたいですが、愛が強すぎるのも考えものですね〜。
