Working style The employees of my company in Japan have more holidays than the ones in the UK. However, I feel the employees in the UK take more holidays because they use a lot of holidays at one time and use all holidays they have in a year and plan their holidays throughout the year in advance. Whether we can take all holidays depends on a kind of work, but I think that how the British people take their holidays is good because it can have the clear difference between work and holiday.

Trip to foreign countries Finally, only 1month is left until I return to Japan. I will travel around the country in Europe in the next 1 month. I traveled a lot of countries in Europe relatively easily so far because most people spoke English well and the sign was written in English with local language. However, I didn't know what to do when the sign was written in only local language other than English. Therefore, I think it may be difficult for foreign people to travel Japan because a lot of signs are written in only Japanese and many Japanese can't speak English.

Traffic network in London From last Friday, the Night Tube launched on the Central and Victoria lines, and will be running all night on Fridays and Saturdays. There is a train about every 10 to 20 minutes. Under the circumstance which the night buses are already running, I wonder there is demand for the Night Tube, but I am interested in the effects. I tried Santander Cycles which I can hire a bike in London for the first time. There is a lot of docking station for a bike in London. It is affordable for me to hire a bike from as little as 2 pounds for 24 hours. Ican hire a bike any number of times if I hire within 30 minutes at once. I think the cycling around London under a good weather feels good! I felt the traffic networks in London such as buses, tubes, and cycles are more developed than in Japan.

London's summer Although summer, it is not hotter than Japan, so I feel cozy. It is good that I am able to play tennis for 4 hours after work since summer days are longer. However, there were too hot days for only one week which the UK people said it is rare. In that term, it was very hard for me to live. In particular, it was very hot inside the underground 's train and the bus because they have no air conditioner.

London's weather Lately, it has been really cloudy and occasionally a little bit shower and sunny. This is the London's weather, I think. I feel comfortable however it is chilly as the temperature is around 20 degrees. It is not much hotter than Japan.
