九月十一日(kugatsu jyuichi nichi): September 11

It's been 9 years since the 9.11 happened. I still remember the scenes. The world has been changed a lot since this terrorism.
As a world traveler, I feel the most difference at the security check at the airport. We cannot bring liquid nor sharp items into the airplane. Sometimes we have to take off shoes to be screened.
When there happened the sarin terrorism in Tokyo on March 20, 1995, all the garbage bins at the station were closed and we could not use the coin lockers too. These days we can use them but still there is an announcement regarding unknown bags on the train.
There are 365 or 366 days in a year, but 9.11 is one of the remarkable days people around the world will remember forever.
