Epidemic
This is a sign posted on the enterance of a "100yen shop"($1 shop) near my flat. It says, "Masks are sold out!".
I returned from France this morning, and saw many people who wear masks not only at the airport, but also in the city. While walking and watching people waring masks on the way to my company, I felt something wierd, or wrong going on in Japan.
I totally understand the importance of the self-protection against the virus, but aren't we Japanese too much sensitive about this issue??? Japanese mass media keeps telling us about how easily the virus is spread in air, and focus on only negative sides. Maybe we Japanese genetically tend to do that..........
Anyway, isn't it just a kind of ful which the vaccine has not been invented yet? If it is so, can we protect ourselves from the virus as long as we pay good attention on our helth and daily diet? Can Masks really protect us?
For me, it looks and sounds sooooo silly.

Isn't it ironic?
Who parked a bike like this?
How adorable he looked helping his family to set up a out side-stall.
Soon as I got home, I bought a new camera. Later just in case, I tried to fix the old one, but it failed.
"Ok, it is time to get a new. I'll give it up" said to my self giving a slap at the old one.
"No-----------------"
It's now fixed................................................
