Jan.28th - our neighborhood association's New Year party was held.

  71 people took part in the New Year party which was held "Yunomi no yu", a public bath in Akeno in the suburbs of the city. I offered a toast in the opening on behalf of all the staff members. I said in the short speech before offering a toast, " Calling this a new year party seems to be a little too late, but according to the lunar calendar, it is January 6th and hundreds of millions people in China, Mongolia, and other Asian countries are still celebrating new year."
