I've got to make it to write just my feelings about what has been going on each day!! "Private Diary": I do not know why, but I feel a little uneasy about until when it will last.  Riko Higashio

My 4 weeks stay went so quickly and I will return to the States tomorrow. It has been a while since I was back in Japan and did enjoy the stay.

Since it was the last chance to do so, I went to pray for "Yaku-Yoke" - Japanese tradition says that people falls into bad year and this is to ask god to get rid of bad evil things to happen. Actually I should have done this at the start of this year but I did not believe in that stuff. As it turned out to be, I had all my bad luck this year!

So not to make this worse next year, I went for that and they gave me something to keep with me. I was going to take a photograph this but I thought it was not proper thing to take pictures in Temple. Sorry.

Photo above is taken with Betty who has been my manager for long time. She just bought a new apartment so I went to check it out. There was no furniture but it seems like a nice neighbourhood. Congratulations! I am sorry to say good by to Coco (see photo below),. Wait till I return next.
