The other weekend, I took a course to learn how to guide travelers from abroad in English. During the two days of training, we went to a cave, a street with “kura”, a traditional Japanese craft shop, a temple, and a ramen restaurant. I gave a presentation about Japanese religion and manners to my instructors and the other trainees on the bus, and when we got off at the temple, I was very nervous because it was my first time! I realized that I didn’t really know the culture and daily life of Japan. They are very difficult to explain in English. (written by a reader, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Note:
Monkey Light 光る車輪,自転車用 LED ホイール・フラッシュライト;

Have you ever heard of Monkey Lights? They are not lights for monkeys. They are a special product for your bicycle. You put them on the spokes of your bicycle. They use LED lights, so they are very bright and help drivers to see you in the dark. At the same time, they create beautiful patterns on your wheels. I checked the price for these lights online and found that they aren’t very expensive. I may buy them for my bicycle. If you pay more, you can buy a special type that you can program with your computer. You can create almost any image you want. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
