I promised to finish writing a Little Sumo
story I started last week. But today is
a public holiday, and I decided to lie on my sofa in my boxer shorts all day,
eating from a bag of mixed nuts and listening to podcasts instead. You shouldn’t work on a public holiday. Actually, I stood on some scales for the
first time in about a year this morning, and found out that I am about 6kg
heavier than I was in the recent past.
So maybe I’ll have just a small bag of mixed nuts then.
Because of this holiday, let me keep
today’s blog simple. I will tell you
about an article I had published in the Japan Times this week.
I wrote about how difficult it is for
people to travel recently – the corona virus has made people scared, there are
few flights, and people in other prefectures don’t seem to want visitors from
Tokyo. So I advised foreigners living in
Japan to remember that they are living in a fascinating country, and to
appreciate some small details which make Japan different from their home
country. I suggested some things such as
admiring the stylish jackets of Japanese construction workers, or walking past
a tonkotsu ramen restaurant to enjoy the unique smell.
Can you think of any other small details
that someone stuck in Tokyo could enjoy?
Here is a link to the article:
