It was fine.

It's been 10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake happened.

I still remember the day very well.

I worked in Shinjuku, and we evacuated to the nearby shrine watching the high rise building swaying. I stayed up overnight at the office with a few colleagues and came home next morning.

From that day we stayed at home and experienced planned blackout for a few days.

Many things have changed since then.

How is your life changed?

Tonight I went out for dinner at my favorite Spanish restaurant with a Facebook friend whom I met face by face for the first time. We enjoyed talking and eating a lot.

Since the restaurant closes at 8 PM, we only had about an hour, but we found many things in common. It was fun.

It is omisoka(大晦日), the end of the year.

How was your 2018?

Mine was good.

I have been to Dubai & Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, and Myanmar.
In Japan I have been to Yamaguchi & Hiroshima, Chiba, Hokkaido, Ise & Kyoto, Fukuoka, and Hamamatsu.

I had many chances to wear kimono.

I attended many seminars and learned a lot and met new people.

There was a grest reunion of high school which happens once in four years.

Today I stayed at home and cleaned the alter, rooms, entrance, and washed the car and windows.

This is the 10th year anniversary of my blog and I applied for the contract to publish abroad today.

It will be a great year 2019.
