Second Diary in 2018: The First Snow in Tokyo There may be dozens of people who have already written about the same topic, but who can restrict themselves from writing about the snow in Tokyo yesterday? That was quite a lot of snow, I mean, for Tokyo. Tokyo has snow only a few times a year and sometimes it does not have any. However, yesterday, it snowed exceptionally a lot. The newspaper writes that it piled up for 23cm. A 5 year-old inside myself got so excited for the snow, but not everyone was happy about the snow. Many people who work in Tokyo had hard time getting back home because trains did not work well because of the snow. My father first tried to catch a taxi, but because there were so many people lining up, he gave up. (The news said, people needed to wait for an hour and a half to catch a taxi.) He then decided to stay and sleep in his company. My mother and I thought that is a good idea, as waiting for a taxi will be waste of time and also money(taxis in Tokyo are quite expensive). So I thought he was staying in the company until I found him at home when I woke up at midnight to go to a bathroom. He told me that he actually ended up taking a taxi at 2am or so. Snow is prettey fun, but it can be a nuisance, especially in Tokyo, where we are not really used to having snow.
