What Japanese snack is long and thin and covered with chocolate? It even has a special day named after it. If you guessed you are correct. It is Glico’s longest-selling product. They started selling it in 1966, and it became one of the most popular snacks in Japan and in other Asian countries. Now people eat Pocky all around the world. It has become so popular that it now holds the Guinness World Record as the best-selling chocolate-coated biscuit brand of 2019. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

This year we had a real Silver Week for the first time since 2015. It wasn’t a full week, but many people had four days off because there were two holidays after the weekend. During Golden Week this year, most people stayed at home because of the coronavirus. Many more people were traveling this Silver Week. There were traffic jams on the expressways, and trains and planes had very few empty seats. My daughter and her family went on a trip to the countryside but got caught in a traffic jam on the way back home. Sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
