New York

Good morning! Ohayou!

How are you? Ogenki desuka?
I woke up at 6:30am and ate break fast and went for a walk.
I was having very healthy life in Washington, So I am trying to have the same life in Japan as much as I can. That's really good wake up early and start my day.

I was reading KenKen's blog who is drummer of RIZE. He was in New York at the same timing as me.
He said that he came back to Japan on 24th July.
I wonder if I took the same flight with him?!
hm...I don't think so, because I must find him if he was there!!
Anyway he seems like New York a lot. When I reading his blog, I feel totally the same.
Japan is really nice country. We have history,culture, beautiful and clean place and friendly people.
I love that but sometime Japan is still the island which far from other countries.
Which is one of the reason why Japan has unique cultures and style.
But I feel like, we are really optimistic.

Especially I could feel it strongly for students and politics.
As you know, many Japanese university students spends most of their time for Baito or Asobi.
I feel they are still really Kids.
Actually I didn't went to University. I went to College for 2 years which was worth.
Our college was only 2 years and we need to get a job before graduation, so many students were trying to study hard and doing their best always.
After I got into the first company, other colleagues are older than me but I feel their mind is younger than me. I don't want to say that is bad because each person has each life and you can't judge whether it is good or not. Everyone have different values.
But I just hope Japanese people should be grow up more.

You can see many TV shows of politics these days because of next election is coming up soon.
Don't you think many politicians doesn't great jobs for us?

I am worrying that nowdays, Chine and India which called developing countries has more economic power day by day. I think that they would cast behind Japan soon. Which means there is a possibility Japan lose a say or lose the right to make a decision of World politics.

I don't know how much Japanese politicians feels about this but they should be more careful about that.

Anyway I wrote lots already, Hope you have a good Monday!
