Ten Necessary Skills to Live in Japan

- A skill to fall a sleep in the train (to neglect people and the weak who your seat should be given)
- A skill to keep your arms high up in the train (not to be mistaken for an offender touching women's body)
- A skill to make a line (to buy anything, to wait for a train, and to live in Japan. Everything's in order.)
- A skill to pretend to speak English (to make them believe you're from the United States)
- A skill to drive a car skillfully (to avoid people in a narrow road and park your car in a limited space. Any scratch to another car must be treated as an accident to be informed to the police.)
- A skill to avoid bitches (not to be a husband divorced and deprived of your baby)
- A skill to eat smelly food without pinching your nose (to eat natto, miso soup, wasabi, roasted fish, etc.)
- A skill to sort garbage (to dispose garbage in accordance with the municipal's rule and recyle it)
- A skill to open shy Japanese mouths (to communicate with people)
- A skill to give up using imagination and imitate people's action (not to get angry about the Japanese policy)

Rainy Season in Japan

June to July is a rainy season in Japan, called "tsuyu." When tsuyu ends, hot and humid summer beggins. There is another rainy season in fall. In August, some typhoons pass over Japan. Japan's summer reminds me that Japan is one of the Asian countries. When I went to Europe, especially in Paris, the air was dry and the pictures I took were like the ones taken by a professional photographer. The sunlight crosses from the right corner of the photo and the air in the picture was shining to make everything vivid. The senics taken in Japan are vivid because of the camera's performance not photographer's. Soon, tsuyu will end according to the weather report. A good point in the Japanese summer is that I'm not as thirsty as I was in Paris, and there're bunch of vending machines selling non-sugar green tea bottles. You don't have to be followed by the people with 1 euro mineral water.
