A sightseeing trip
I had been to Okinawa in the end of 2017 with my family. ( five days and four nights.)
Okinawa is the prefecture in the south of Japan.
It is Winter here in Japan, so it's cold. but It was warm in Okinawa.
The coral reefs in the Okinawa were very beautiful.
I drank strong Okinawa liquor called Awamori. It was very strong, but very tasty.
If you have a chance, please visit Okinawa and try Awamori.

TV drama series
As of late, I am obsessed with TV drama series "SHERLOCK" by BBC.
At first, I watched Japanese dubbed versions.
Next, I watch original versions. I have got scripts, because their English is too fast to understand for me.

Setsubun(February,3)
Yesterday is Setsubun, the day before the calendrical beginning of Spring.
We scattered beans to drive away "Oni".
I wonder how to express "Oni" in English.
"Oni" is an ogre, a demon or an evil spirit.... Anyway, they are evil things.
