Typhoon #9

Yesterday Typhoon #9 hit Kyushu, and from this morning it is hitting the Kansai(Western) and Kinki(Eastern) areas of Japan. When I came to Honmachi this morning, it was just drizzling, and the trains were running smoothly. There weren't any delays. But, the skies are dark grey and we are in for a rainy and dreary day I think. But as Ms. e told me, "This rain will make the temperature cooler." She is exactly right. Plus, it hasn't rained in a while in Osaka, so I think the trees and grass and crops all need some rain. Anyway, be careful and don't forget your umbrella today!

To change the subject, last Sunday I went shopping at Yodobashi Camera. I was looking for a new computer and some other stuff. And when I left YC at around 3pm, there were tons of people outside. There were also many police officers. I couldn't imagine what had happened, but after a few minutes, I figured it out. Right in front of my eyes were Mr. Kan, the Prime Minister of Japan, and Mr. Ozawa, the other candidate in the race for Presidential Election for the Democratic Party of Japan. I listened to there "speech battle, " like a debate, and it was quite interesting. But, I don't like to talk about politics so much, so I will leave it at that.
