2013.4.4

It was fine today.
I cleared old newspaper, mail-order catalogs, and so on.  Newspaper is shimbun (新聞) in Japanese, but the old one is called shimbunshi (新聞紙 ) or furu shimbun (古新聞).
Shin means new, bun means to hear.  After one day passed, it is not new any more.
However there are many articles which are useful after the day it was issued such as story, cooking, book review and so on.  Sometimes when I went to business trip for 10 days or so, I like to read them through after coming home.  But to read for a month volume at a time must be too much.
