It's not necessarily Americans who use Writing com. but I'm sure there are a lot of Americans here, so I'll let them know.
I wrote about it in my blog,Kaori-Yumesaki's Blog.


I have something to thank the Americans for. It is for invented the fashion of Jeans and T-shirts. I love this casual fashion.

Of course, I like to dress up in dressier and more expensive clothes, but what else is so functional and clean in everyday life?

We know that Jeans were originally made for work wear. But nowadays there are some very stylish designs on the market, and you can coordinate them with whatever you want to wear on top.

They are durable and can be washed many times, and best of all, even the colour fading can be enjoyed, which is in keeping with the Japanese motto of wabi-sabi. The best of both worlds.

The only problem is that Jeans are a bit unsuitable for the humid Japanese climate. LOL!

But even with that, it’s an attractive fashion. Thank you, U.S.A.!




Welcome. I typically write in my blog so I can be found there "PortholeOpen in new Window..

I have visited Japan. The snowiest day I experienced was in Yamagata/Yamadera. It also snowed on the ume in Mito that year.

Yamagata, 2015:

The city I live in is one of the heaviest snowfall areas in Japan. There is a lot of snow in parts of Japan right now. Our city is fine for now. ......

I remember when I was a kid, the first floor of my house was buried in snow and I had to go in and out of the second floor windows 😱.

Take good care to stay warm and enjoy the beauty of fresh snow as much as possible. I know too much is too much, but maybe there is an element of fun to be had with all that snow.
Thank you.
Fortunately, the driveway was plowed and the weather was fine earlier, so I enjoyed the walk to the convenience store. It's windy and the streets are icy so I have to be careful, but I love walking in the snow on a sunny day ❤ It's beautiful to see the whole city all white.
That's a lot of snow! It sounds like Hokkaido. I hope you take care of yourself and stay warm.

新年おめでとうございます!
Happy New Year! Japan has already welcomed the New Year!

It’s neat thinking about the time zones, the international date line and how they work. I’ve wondered for years why they rotate the clocks around Greenwich and the date in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I guess it was because they never wanted you to exist on two different dates simultaneously.

In 1962 while in the navy the ship I was stationed seaboard crossed the international date line on a return from the Philippines and Japan to Hawaii. It was on my birthday turning 20. I had to hide for 2 days to escape the squad that tortured sailors on their birthdays at sea. Stupid practice. They still wouldn’t serve me beer when we got to Hawaii even though I told them I’d had 2 birthdays so I was really 21. No one believed me.
Good thing. You could have gotten twice the spankings, or twice the 'sock to grow a block'.
There's quite a time difference between Japan and the U.S. [depending on where you are].
If you fly from Tokyo to California, you'll have to go back a day. I hope that makes me feel younger. LOL!

Anyway, I hope the new year will be a great one for you!

My short science fiction novel [Oxygen Cafe] has been completed. I've already received some great reviews, but I hope you'll read it too and feel free to give me any feedback.
