It was the 67th anniversary of the end of the World War II.  There was a memorial event in Tokyo and there gathered about 5,850 people including the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prime Minister.  The oldest participant of the bereaved family was 98 years old and the youngest was 4 years old according to the newspaper.
I hope the world peace forever.

It was slightly raining in the morning but stopped raining in the evening. The sun set was beautiful. 
There was the Venus' passing across the surface of the Moon but I forgot watching and saw it by Internet news.

I took a half day off to attend a lecture in the afternoon.  After that I got the autograph from the lecturer to the book which he translated.

I read an amazing article in the today's newspaper.  It is about a man who used to be a schoolmaster and started climbing Mt. Fuji after retiring at the age of 63 and he has climbed it 1000 times by now (72) and still climbing.
I have climbed Mt. Fuji once when I was a senior of the university student but it was very hard and for me once was enough.

It was hot but windy.

I went out for lunch with a colleague.  I felt like eating cold Korean noodle called reimen (冷麺) but did not know the proper restaurant.
However when we were trying to find the one, we happened to find the one.  It was rather crowded and seemed popular.  And there was the cold Korean noodle! They were dark and rather thin and chewy than I expected. Side dishes were free. And it cost yen750.  There were other dishes I wanted to taste so I may go again someday.
I went out for dinner with my college friend.  We ate shabushabu (しゃぶしゃぶ) which is a very popular Japanese winter dish. But I ate shabushabu twice in this summer.
