Pool
My younger son and I went to a pool near my house. It was hot day. Recently it is very hot and humid in Japan. But we don't try to use air conditioner as possible. We save electricity. So we went to the pool. My younger son enjoyed to swim in the pool.

Norifumi Abe passed away
He was a hero. When I went off-roading on my motorbike, he won Doohan who was a champion of motoGP. So we were surprised it. Abe passed away in a traffic accident in Kawasaki-.
In Japan there are lot of cars. Especially Kawasaki, Tokyo etc.. He shuldn't died in a traffic accident.

Alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics
In 1972, the Winter Olympic was opened in Japan of Sapporo city.
When we watched Alpine skiing races on TV, my father said “A Japanese girl said Alpene sking like using Japanese style toilet of Shinkansen.”
When I was young, a lot of toilets were Japanese style. Also passenger train toilets were Japanese style in Japan.
While we use Japanese toilets, we have to squat. (You might think strange.)
So passenger train toilets of shinkansen shake. (It is more shake than you think.)
Therefore a girl thought Alpine skiing looked like toilets of shinkansen.
If you don't know Japanese style toilet, you might not imagine this story..
