two articles I loved on NYT

The first one is about baseball in Japan.

"Japanese Baseball: Root, Root, Root and Buy Me Some Eel "


I think this is well-described about rooting at rooting style in Japan.
I love baseball and I've been in stadiums a lot of times with my husband to root for my favorite team, Hanshin Tigers and I do love our rooting style here. If you have a chance to visit my country and you are a baseball fan, you should go there and join them!


The second one is about atomic bomb in Japan.

A Flash of Memory

I didn't know Ms. Miyake, who is well-known clothing designer not only in Japan but also in the world, is a Hibakusha, A-bomb survivor. I was moved with his words a lot. We are planning to visit Hiroshima city in a few weeks. We visited there two years ago and loved the city. We learned a lot by visiting the A-bomb memorial museum, communicating with local people there. And I had a chance to stay in the US and build relationships with a lot of American people. I became to think of peace more than ever. Then President Obama's speech about elimination of nuclear weapons. I remember I saw a map at the museum which tells us how many nuclear weapons each country has at the time.

Each of us seems not to have any power but if we do it altogether, I believe we can do anything.

I hope we can learn more things on our visit to Hiroshima this time.

home delivery Pizza here and there

Some delivery pizza ads was put in our mailing post today and I just remembered my experience in the US. When my American friends and I bought pizzas, they asked me what ingredient I liked to put in the pizza and I said "corn!". To my surprise, they seemed surprised and said "we never put corn in pizzas. In fact corn is quite popular ingredient for pizzas here.

You can see some delivery pizza menu here:

You see any differences between here and there?
