A Weekend

A Weekend


Are you spending a nice weekend? It is now 10 a.m., Sunday, in Japan. A famous socio-economic-political interview TV program, whose host may be regarded as a Japanese Larry King but more establishment-oriented, is about to begin. Today, bullying in schools seems to be one of topics.

When I was younger, or so much younger than today, I often drove in weekends.

Passing through express ways through the center of Tokyo was often thrilling on a holiday when traffic jams, a customary thing on a business day, are less.

However, I myself stopped to be a car owner quite a sometime ago and began to rely on a more convenient vehicle.

(In Japan, it is said that judges never drive. Any minor traffic accidents can happen to anybody in a country of a size of California, 70% of which is mountain terrain [not tropical jungles], but with 72 million cars and 120 million population.)

What we have to do on a holiday is seeing flowers in a field and watching birds flying, in my opinion.

Or we have to live, carrying our own cross.
