It has been 20 years since September 11 attacks, 2001.
In those days, I got the news that a hijacked airplane crashed into the north World Trade Center.
When I watched the news on TV about that, the picture behind a newscaster was that a building was burning.
After a while, an airplane came up to the burning building and crashed into another building.
First, I thought that I was watching the video which the hijacked airplane has crashed into the north WTC, but when I realized that the incident just happened, I was so scary said nothing for a while.
I never thought that such horrendous thing would happen in reality.
To be honest, I didn’t know about September 11 attacks in details.
I googled it and I found that there were four airplanes which terrorists hijacked.
I realized that the other airplanes also crashed and all passengers and crew on board died.
I hope that such tragic incident never happens.

My husband told me that he got a strange email. It seemed to have something to do with what we drove on a toll road not paying fee when we were traveling around California state by rental car.
Actually, when we got back to Japan, we received an email with an invoice from the Dollar which is the rental car company.
They told that they already paid the fine instead of us, so they charged us it included their handling charge.
We paid it afterwards, so we didn’t know why we got the strange email.
I read it again. While we didn’t know, it had seemed to take a class action, but we haven’t understand at all.
It’s said that if we had driven on the toll road during from June 2015 to May 2021, we could get benefits.
We don’t know whether the email is true or not.
We don’t want to get in any more trouble, so we decided to ignore that.

Hi there,
It’s sunny day here and I would like to go somewhere,but it’s a little difficult and scary.
Because the new cases of corona virus have increased recently in Japan.
After an emergency declaration was eased, we have been able to travel anywhere in Japan.
In addition, the Japanese government has campaigned “Go to travel “, so it enables us to travel more. Consequently, there are many infected people, I suppose.
How is your country these days?

I learned English for the first time when I was in junior high school. I got a perfect score on the first English test, but a boy next me found my mistake and he leaked it to a teacher. Consequently, I missed perfect score. I can never forget it and I haven’t remembered how much I was depressed then. Looking back, it might have been the start that my motivation of learning English went down. Actually, my English grade point had been bad while I was a student. On the other hand, I wanted to get married with the foreigners in future but it didn’t come true. However, I still have a chance to see and to talk to them when I travel abroad. On top of that, I want to teach my grandsons English in near future and then I want them to say “Grandma is cool!”. That’s why I have learned English again.

My husband's from Tokyo and I'm from Osaka, so our speaking Japanese is different, as you know it's a dialect.
And we also have different focus to laughing. Actually, even though we watched the entertaining TV show, on the one hand he was laughing, on the other hand I wasn't and it didn't make me laughing at all. Whenever that situation happens, I always think how much he has fun and what makes him laughing. At that time, nothing is happened. However, when that situation is opposite, I sometimes hit him, but it's soft, I suppose. But he always tells me "why do you hit me?" So I always try to convince him that it's normal to do that in Osaka women. I think that it's about time he could get used to that as it has been long time since we first met.

Do you know "杏仁豆腐" which is one of Chinese sweets? When we make it, we need Chinese almond powder, but it's quite difficult to get. I don't know why, but I certainly haven't seen it at most of the supermarkets near my house. One day, I wanted to eat "杏仁豆腐", so I tried to make it. However as I knew not to get Chinese almond powder, I searched for a recipe which I didn’t use it on the internet. And I finally found one. The ingredients were agar powder which is like gelatin powder, sugar, fresh cream, water and almond milk. Almond milk is drink and It's instead of Chinese almond powder. And I can get it easily at the supermarket. I mixed all ingredients and boiled them until sugar gets melted. And then I poured them into the mod and went into the refrigerator. And it was ready in 1 hour.

It’s really hot in Japan.
It’s too hot and humid today. I’m at the station and waiting for a train. Sweat is dropping from my forehead even though I’m just sitting on the bench.
今日は高温で湿度もとても高いです。駅で電車が来るのを待っています。ただベンチに座っているだけで額から汗が滴り落ちます。

I have a thing which I always think when I get in an elevator.
I have a thing which I always think when I get in an elevator. As far as I'm concerned, when we Japanese get in the elevator, if the other people didn't get in, almost Japanese push the close button before it close automatically. However foreign country people is different, they wait the elevator door close automatically. I think that it's showed character of different from foreign country people and Japanese. Compare foreign country people and Japanese, Japanese don't have enough time to wait, I mean, they want to do next action as soon as possible. It's said "Sekkati" in Japanese. If I say it badly, Japanese might not have enough patience.

How about you when you get on a airplane?
This is story when I traveled to the USA.
My flight was from NGO via NRT to SFO, and final district was LAS.
When I got off the airplane which departed from NRT, I saw the floor of forward littered with trashes. I couldn't believe my eyes. How did people make a mess like that? It was the first time I've seen that. In my opinion, people who get on an airplane had better to treat their trashes properly during getting on.

Japanese okozukai
I quarreled with my husband about the money that he can spend freely the day before yesterday. We call it "okozukai" in Japanese. In Japan, lately husbands and wives both work, but before, husbands only worked and wives did household chores. So almost wives control the money that hasbands arned. In my case, I control and give some money to him. How about your family ?
