2013.8.13

It was another hot day.  In Shimanto, Kochi it went up to 40 degrees centigrade again.  They say it's been four days in straight that exceeds 40 degrees centigrade.

From tomorrow I have 5 days summer vacation.

 It is a time of obon (お盆) when the spirits of ancestors come back home to stay for a few days.  We usually go to graveyard.  And we decorate a cow made of eggplant and a horse made of cucumber and some treat in front of butsudan (仏壇),  family Buddhist altar.
