Today is Sunday. But you are going to work, right? Yesterday you worked too. You are such a hard worker, aren't you? Once you asked me whether I work on weekend. My answer is "usually no." When I was younger, I often went for a ride on bike, hiking, climbing a mountain walking in the hill, or something like that. I like hot spa as well. Once every month or every two months, I went for a hot spring. Since Japan peninsula has a lot of volcanos, there are many hot springs. I try to find the hotel or place to stay which has a hot spring and offer dinner. On Saturday or sometimes on Friday, I go to the hot spring. Usually I arrive there 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I settle down in my room at the hotel and go to a hot spring. It is usually located inside the hotel building. Wearing kimono or yukata, I go to the hot spring, hanging just a face towel. Usually there are not many customers. Sometimes just myself. Do you remember the pictures I sent to you some days ago? I took those pictures at a hot spring. I do not remember whether I explained the hot spring at the time when I sent those pictures. It is understood for us that the hot spring is good for health. When you enter the bathroom, you can find a board which explains how well this hot spring works. Which means you find the board with the medical benefits of that hot spring. For example, tiredness, piles, skin problems, lower back pain, etc. We are not sure if these efficiencies are true or not but we enjoy refreshness after warming our body and recognize ourselves that it would be good for our health and body. I am not sure whether hot spring is trully good for my health but all I can say is that I can relax and feel good. Have you tried hot spring so far, ON? You wrote that your condo has a hot spa. It is very similar to the hot spring, isn't it? I don't know whether there is a hot spring in Thailand or not. It seems that people in northern Europeans enjoy hot springs as well. Also in the middle west Asians like Turkish people enjoy a hot spring too. Some day I really would like to go for a hot spring with you, ON. What do you think of this? Once you said you sometimes go to the massage. I guess that you like hot springs as well.
You are going to work today, ON. It is not good to say that "don't work too hard" because "not working too hard" may imply that you do not have many customers. You need many customers. It is sort of ambivalent. So I would say, "Enjoy today or have a good day today." OK, ON???
Today I am going to wash and clean the house. And then mayby I will go to the back yard to take a baby bamboo. It is the bamboo season. While it is small, it is good to eat. When it grows up, it is just an obstruction. So while it is small, I dig or cut it. In the back yard I have a small bamboo forest. Have you eaten bamboo? A young and baby bamboo is very good. You can eat them raw or you can boil them as well.
