The end of the year term

Today is the last day of the Japanese year term end, March 31.
New term of this year 2014 will start tomorrow April 1.
I went to the city office to hand in my paper.
It was incredible crowded and so many queues.
I had to wait for a long time with patience.
After the errand I found some herons nesting the regular top of the tree.
It tells that the season for their laying eggs soon.

Very warm

It's the same temperature here as in Perth now at 12:30.
When I stayed in Perth it was almost 30C every day in spite of the beginning of fall.
But it seems getting cooler and cooler there in the south hemisphere, while we are getting warmth as the sun approaching to the north.
But according to the weather forecast, it will get cooler here after tomorrow. We will have much changes warm and cool for a while.

Blossoms

Blooming has come in my garden!
They really celebrate children's new life, the daughter's in March and the son's in May soon.
The cherry tree is more than 25 years old when my daughter was born.
It has seldom born blossoms for 25 years.
This year is for the first memorial year since my father's gone.
I feel that his faith to love his grandchildren made the blossoms in bloom now.
I believe in the invisible spirit move the visible and send us happiness.
Thanks for the goodwill.
I'm deeply impressed with the heart of my loved ones.

Goodbye KIOSK

It's reported that JR west reform their shop in the railway station from KIOSK to Seven Eleven.
KIOSK is the name of the small stand shop in the railway station in Japan. The origin of the name is from Persian and Turkish, it means hut or small house in the garden.
Now is the convenience stand in English.
We will see 7-11 more everywhere in the railway station.

Departure

I left Perth in the evening yesterday and arrived at Narita in the morning.
It was 5 nights and seven days trip to attend the wedding.
Her Japanese friends from Japan were 5. They were more quick traveler than us, 2 nights 4 days or 3 or 4 nights. I appreciate their warm heart to celebrate her. But they helped and enjoyed my daughter's party really happily.
I was impressed her friendship very much.
I'm very happy she is really loved by her friends.

Good equipment

I went to the big shopping center mall which you can do everything.
Mostly similar to our outlet malls in some area in Japan.
But what makes me surprised is the wide slope escalator which you can carry cart with you to the 2F.
It's really cool we never have though.
It's really easy for you to shop around whole the floor.
