Welcome Dec 1st Winter!

Sunrise North of Tokyo

Welcome Winter! First day of the last month of 2020. What a weird year. Pandemic, plan-demic, scam-demic, we’ll find out soon enough.

Great to be alive and well! A prosperous Dec to you all!

A Local Casualty- Candy Shop Closed In Tokyo’s Nihonbashi

Once a bustling candy shop

The virus fears for Wuhan Corona Virus COVID-19 has taken its toll on small businesses in Japan. With just over 1/3 of the deaths this year that influenza had last year, it has definitely been overblown by the media and others who have sought to stoke virus fears.

Very sad to see all the businesses decimated by the fear. Recovery coming soon!
