十一月三十日(jyuichigatsu sanjyu nichi): November 30

It is the last day of November. The weather was very nice and warm.

It is the last day of getting full eco points when you buy electric appliances such as TV, air conditioning, and refrigerator. From tomorrow eco points will be reduced in half. Therefore so many people seemed to buy them by today.

From July 2011, we cannot use the analogue TV, TV sets were sold three to five times more than last year.

十一月二十九日(jyuichigatsu nijyuku nichi): November 29

It was very fine today. I went to Yokohama. I could see the beautiful scenery. The gingko trees were yellow. Scenery from the boat called Seabass were nice.
Speaking of Yokohama, Chinese foods are very famous. There is the biggest China town in Japan. There are so many Chinese restaurants. The price of lunch set is very reasonable.

十一月二十八日(jyuichigatsu nijyuhachi nichi): November 28

I went to see a Japanese movie "Ghost" in the morning. It is a remake version of "Ghost" in 1990 by Patrick Wayne Swayze and Demi Moore. I can't believe it has been already 20 years. The story looked the same, but the situation was different. A company owner heroine became a ghost, and her husband is a Korean ceramicist.
After that I went to see a concert of my friend from high school. It was small but a nice one.
In Japan there were some big events. Today was senshuraku (千秋楽), the last day of grand sumo tournament in Kyushu, which is the last tournament this year. Yokozuna Hakuho(横綱 白鵬) became a champion again after the playoff with Toyonoshima (豊ノ島). It is his 17th victory and five tournaments in straight. Congratulations!
Today there was the final episode of Ryomaden (龍馬伝), NHK's year long drama.
And there are some gubernatorial elections too.
