We take a luxury trip once a year. Since the purpose of this trip is to enjoy onsen, we only go sightseeing when we have extra time. We stay at a different ryokan every year, and each one has its own unique and interesting features.
Nails are not used in most old Japanese buildings. That is because the expansion rate of each material is different, making them vulnerable in the long run. In the past, the Japanese built shrines and temples with hundreds or even thousands of years in mind.
I have seen strange UFO-like phenomena. I am an occultist, so I believe in the existence of UFOs. However, some people make fun of my story. It is up to each person to decide whether or not to believe in UFOs, but if you are going to make fun of me, I would like you to prove that UFOs do not exist.
I like the morning best among all the hours of the day. Waking up early and being active allows me to get a lot done in a day. But every day, I feel that time passes rapidly in the evening. What is this all about?
Thanks to my phone, I can do YouTube and benefit from it. I am very grateful for that. But it is also true that my life is now being influenced by my smartphone. I think it's important to have a life away from the smartphone at times.

My blood pressure is quite low, the so-called low blood pressure type. Nevertheless, when I donate blood, my blood pressure can be so low that I cannot donate blood, and when I have a physical exam, it is a typical blood pressure reading. Apparently, my body does not want to be drained of blood, but does not want to be treated as unhealthy.
A truly kind person is one who can do that naturally. And they don't ask for anything in return, nor are they aware that they are being kind to others in the first place.
