Entry for January 24, 2008

大寒(Daikan: Coldest season) ended here. Yesterday It snowed here. We have snow about 5cm deep. I was very glad and enjoyed to see snowing and to walk in snow. These days I enjoy 柚子湯(Yuzu-yu). Yuzu is a kind of Orange. "Yu" means bath in this case. We have Yuzu in a bath. Yuzu makes the body feel warm and buffs our skin. And Yuzu's aroma is very nice. If you find Yuzu in your country, I recommend you to buy and use it. Yuzu is also a foodstuff. You can image Yuzu is a kind of Lemons.



In case you didn't know, mandarin orange is different from Yuzu. As to mandarin orange, if you want to revive your hair, sun mandarin orange peels, and set the peels in Shoucyu(Japanese distilled spirit) and put on your head. I have sufficient quantity of hairs and I haven't tried it though, I heard so. These years Japanese hair growth tonic contains extractive of mandarin orange. Now we can re-grow our hair at a hospital though. I guess if you put on your holes of your nose, your nose hair may get a little too long. :-) Be careful. Today, it is very windy. I can fly with my umbrella.



Hmm, I watch news about America these days. I think American government must pump public funds into banking market , or America will follow in the footstep of Japan. Japan didn't do it quickly, and we faced "Lost decade". And Democrats take a stance of placing importance on welfare policy, if America knocked sideways by recession, Democrat's campaign pledge may be a kind of fictitious paper. It is often said "Welfare is matter of money".



Have a nice day.
