2014.2.9

It was fine today.  Snow has been partially melted by the morning.  They say it was the heaviest snow in 45 years  or so in Tokyo and it piled up to 27cm or so.  Trains stopped and afternoon flights were all cancelled yesterday.  But it was a beautiful day today.

There was a final game of women's Mogul today.  Ms. Aiko Uemura (上村愛子) has participated in this event since 1998 Nagano Olympic when she was 18 years old and was ranked in the7th for the first time, then next 2002 Salt Lake City ranked in the 6th, 2006 Trino ranked in the 5th, and 2010 Vancouver ranked in the 4th, then 2014 Sochi we expected her to get the medal.  However she finished as 4th again.  Though she did not get the medal, she looked satisfied with her performance.  So we should say "Congratulations!"

As another big news, there was a Tokyo gubernatorial election.  Mr. Yoichi Masuzoe (舛添要一) won the election and became a new governor of Tokyo.
