2012.7.25

It was a hot day. 
I passed near the Saitama Prefecture Governmental Office.  They had green curtains on the windows for saving energy.  And the buildings were earthquake-proof construction.  They say it became just before the 3.11 last year.
I listened to 2 lectures in the morning and went to see the Water Discharge Tunnel on the Outskirts of The Metropolitan Area in the afternoon. It is the large underground Discharge Channels providing safety and reassurance for people living in the Metropolitan Area.  They have 3 tours per day and during summer vacation it is full.  You need to make a reservation to see the underground channels but it is free of charge and worth visiting.  I did not know there are such facilities.  I recommend you to visit there if you have a chance.
