10月19日(jyugatu jyuku nichi): October 19

It was rather cool this morning and evening. It seemed warm in the daytime, but since I was in the office I did not notice.
They say October 19 is day of travel abroad. Why? October 19 is written as 10.19. and read "toku e iku (遠くへ行く)" ,toku is to(10) ku and iku is i(1) ku (9). Toku (遠く) is far away, iku (行く) is to go. Therefore going far away means going abroad. It is supposed to think of the pleasure of going abroad.
My last trip was to go to Nepal and Hong Kong in September. I could meet some friends and had a good time here and there.
My next destinations are Egypt, Turkey, and Greece via London next summer if possible.
