It snowed in the morning, and became rainy in the afternoon. It was very cold today.

There was a lecture about Domestic train fare for six periods. There was useful information that I did not know. 

For example if you want to go to Fukui from Tokyo, there are two ways to go. The required time is almost the same, but it is cheaper to go via Tokaido shinkansen. However if you buy the round ticket, you'd better buy not the simple round tickets between Tokyo and Fukui but from Tokyo to Tokyo via Fukui route taking Hokuriku shinkansen to Kanazawa first because there is a discount. 

If you take the right window side, you can enjoy the beautiful ocean view of the Japan Sea too.

There are many things that if you know, you can get benefits. There are big differences between knowing and not knowing.

I came home one train later than usual.

I received the Nohana album for January. According to Google data, in January it seems I moved 1815km which is about 5% of around the earth.

Domestic geography is interesting. There are many places I have been to. But there are still many more places I want to go.

I happened to know that Avatar was on air tonight and watched it. It is made in 2009. At that time I watched it at the theater but was not interested in so much. Maybe I was not ready. Time went by and the word ''Avatar" is used in the daily life. So it may be interesting to see the new Avatar: The Way of Water.

At night I watched my friend's Facebook live about sharing her trip to Egypt. I feel like traveling there someday.

To my glad my 66th ebook becamd No.1 in the USA.Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I wore Kimono and went to Kimono Style Miya to have my hair set, makeup, dressed up, and pictures taken. I was going to get two styles done, but other customs were trying wedding dresses. So I asked them to take two different wedding dresses pictures too. One is called shiromuku (白無垢), Pure white dress, the other is called irouchikake (色打掛), colored overcoat.

We eat the roast beans as many as our age in counting years which is one year older than actual age.

We have a custom to eat 'Ehomaki(恵方巻)" which is a big sushi roll. We eat it directing the good luck direction of the year without speaking.

The Day 2 of the school was mostly self introduction.  There are 13 students and 2 staffs and a teacher. Each had 10 minutes.

After school I went to get my smartphone repaired. Because of insurance the fee was covered.

On my way to the station I tried to check the age of face skin at the cosmetic booth. The result was a bit younger than the true age.

On trains I startf reading an interesting book.

2023.2.1

A new month has begun.

February is nigatsu (2月 or 二月), the second month or kisaragi(如月) in Japanese.

There are some monthly customs at the beginning of the month.

I started the day with setting the new plant, rice, salt, and water of the home shrine, and 5 dishes of mounting salt to remove the negative vibes from the house.

I went to the nearby shrine.

I bought a commuting pass for three month.

I went to Shinjuku to attend a school for three months. It finished earlier than expected and I decided to see a Japanese movie "The legend & butterfly." It was about three hours movie, and the love story of Oda Nobunaga and his wife, Princess No.

After that I went to Yokosuka to submit the document and shopping.

At nigiht I attended the monthly  Zoom meeting for numerology. 

It was an eventful day.
