According to her, our exercise instructor mentioned to the class, that we had already moved to East Coast. This time, itContinue reading “Realizing what I don’t like 8/15/2018”

It is August 15th in Japan. My Japanese friend told me it was a comfortable sunny day in Japan. I was happy to hear that. Interestingly, here in Arizona, we had a comfortable sunny day too.
