Marine Day for the Elderly |
This weekend, a sayonara to national holidays without much significance: Marine Day (for the Ocean-Sporty and/or Waterlogged Elderly). Appropriately enough, a typhoon swept across southern Japan this weekend. And inconveniently enough, Niigata was hit by another killer earthquake that is made worse by the little nuclear spill and the continuing risk for landslides. (Heeeey Land of Sunshine!! We're safe.) Pouring rain forces life indoors, and wet clothes and shoes never dry, which leads to pervasive scent of mildew in train carriages and classrooms. But it could be worse right now: it could be summer.
One more week here, and I am trying to enjoy my short list of will-be-missed Japanese foods as much as I can. I am a sad little bowl of miso. |

So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka. |
