It was fine.

These days the sun set is so beautiful.

I hope it will be fine tomorrow too.

There were many things to do at work and I overworked. I could finish some of them, and others were postponed till next week.

It was fine.

It's been 24 years since the kick off meeting of Expo 92 was held.  There were 35 Japanese attendants and we met each other for the first time on November 5, 1991. We had some training at Kawaguchiko before leaving for Spain on March 20, 1992.  Expo was held from April 20 to October 12. We have lived and worked together for 7 months. After Expo some went back home soon and others traveled or kept staying in Spain.
After 24 years I think about one third is still living abroad. We have had many different experiences, but whenever we meet we can go back to the feeling when we used to be together.

It was very fine and Mt. Fuji looked so beautiful from my house in the morning and from the office at sunset.

It was the first day after 6 days off so there were many things to be handled at work.

In Japan there were many news too.

One of them happened at the stock market. Japan Post Group went public on the stock market.  There are three group companies and all of them had higher prices than expected. I wanted to book but they were so popular and few so it was impossible.

Another news attracted me was the case of using different surnames for married couple, fufubessei (夫婦別姓). In Japan if you marry, usually women change their surname to husband's name.  It is kind of discrimination.  I support having different surnames if they wish because one's name is very important to identify oneself. Why do only women have to change their names?
They say Japan is the only country that insists to have the same family name when married.
