2014年もあと少しですね

12月も20日を過ぎ、まさに年の瀬という感じですね。

1年は長いようで短いようで、いちいち思い出すとやっぱり長いなぁという気もしますが、化粧品カウンターのお姉さんがことごとく自分より年下になっている現状を目にすると、「いつかやろう」なんて呑気なこと言ってられるほど人生長くないかもなあーと感じたりしている今日このごろです。

わおーん！

This instantly takes me back to the night I saw the Electrical Parade in Tokyo Disneyland for the first time. On my way back home, in the bus, their sparking lights didn’t go away even I closed my eyes so tight. And I didn’t want them to go away.

Welcome to Gunma! - Thousands of reasons to live in Gunma

We're going to "Bonen-kai" season in Japan. Bonen-kai, which literally means "a party to forget the year", is a year-end event typically held with company/community members. December is a lovely season. It's a season that streets are filled with Christmas songs, illuminated trees and drunk people.. :)

Before I forget everything happened in this year (i.e. year-end hibernation & reset) I gotta write about people I interviewed early this year...

For weekly AsahiGunma published in April, I interviewed Mr. Kyo Oh from Henan, China. He participated the Japanese speech contest for foreign people living in Ota-city, Gunma and won its 1st prize this year.
