My circumstances

(Needless to say,) I'm not rich. My parents are also never rich.

Yesterday, I saw an article about Japan economics on the internet. According to that, "It has been said that a hundred million Japanese people are in the middle classes. But this theory does not apply anymore. It's becoming bipolar."

An Australian told what he was surprised when he came to Japan was most Japanese people lived well. We all Japanese people don't realize we're rich. But for Australian we seem to be comfortably situated. He told me 10% students go to college by their parents support, and other students have a part time job for getting school fees. Besides that, it's not rare the students take more than four years to proceed a degree because they have to earn the school fees by themselves. He said he couldn't believe that college students have a new car. And he explained Japan economic is still much better that Australia's that even now Japan is not in good economic and on the other side Australia is.

Fortunately I went to college by my parents support. And I could buy a new car even though I have loan still now.

What can I say? How can I express my feelings? All I can say now is that I was embarrased I hadn't realized how I was comfortably situated and I didn't show any appreciates to my parents.

There isn't 自己嫌悪 in an English dictionary.

ghost bridge!! (for me)

bridge

This is a ghost bridge!! I couldn't get to tihs bridge directly again. Last time (acturely it was also the first time) I crossed this was with my friend. She took me there because I told her that I coulndn't get there by myself. This time was from the parking area. So I didn't remember the way to the bridge and walked through...

Now, I'm going to Ninohe to visit my friend. I have been to Nihohe twice or more before. But now I don't remember well how Ninohe is like. Just I hope the weather is fine.

Just one week has passed since I came back to my town. I've finished cleaning my room, finally. Now I can start new life.
I have to find a new job soon...
