2014.12.12

It was cloudy.

After work I went to Shinjuku to see a movie "Interstellar." It was
a long space related movie and lasted for about three hours. Time passes differently between the earth and space, and an interesting thing happens in the end. Since some people recommended it so I went to see it.

The year of Kanji was announced. It is zei (税), tax. The consumer tax was raised from 5% to 8% this year.
There were 167,613 entries, and tax gathered 8,679 votes. The second
 was netsu (熱), heat which indicates Ebola hemorrhagic fever by 672 differences.

They say the English word of the year was pandemic, and the next was tax increase. This is the first year they chose English word.

No.1and No.2  were reverse in Japanese and English which is interesting.
