Looking back at the World Cup, Japan ended up with just one win in four matches.
There were some who called this the strongest team ever, so expectations were high, but the fact that they didn’t even make it to the Round of 16 means they weren’t really that strong after all.
In my opinion, the fact that all the “genius-type” players were sidelined played a major role.
Specifically, I’m thinking of Mitoma, Kubo, and Minamino.
If they’d had even one player with that kind of genius or charisma, the outcome might have been different.

I felt that the Japanese team had really grown this time.

In the game, Brazil was excellent at moving the ball around.
Japan ran out of attacking ideas and found themselves at a dead end...
Soccer that can break through that ・
But 4, 8 years from now, I’m looking forward to Japan’s future ! !

Thank you ! ! Japan National Team ! !

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

A young and pretty girl shows her "walking pilgrimage" on YouTube.
Every day when she arrives at her lodgings, she posts a video of the day on YouTube. I think this is a great ability.

I think it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to edit and upload the video taken that day with a video camera from the time you arrive at the lodge to the time you go to bed. For me, it takes a whole day just to edit a video that I shot for only one hour. I've almost never edited a video before that.

Before that, I walk all day in the mountains and rivers of Shikoku ・ and when I get to the inn, I take a bath, eat dinner, and then moo, I'm off to bed.

Whether by foot, bicycle, car, or any other means of transportation, a pilgrimage to any of the 88 sacred sites in Shikoku is called an "ohenro" (pilgrimage).

Since 2009, every time I travel to Japan for a week ~ I visit Shikoku for about 10 days and walk around the 88 sacred sites on my own. I have been visiting Shikoku in parts, which is called "kiri-uchi", and visiting all 88 sacred sites in one trip, which is called "tsumi-uchi". Over the past 10 years, the number of "foreign" pilgrims from Japan has increased considerably. The walking pilgrimage in Shikoku is probably the best way to immerse oneself in "Japan" itself. Quite a few foreign pilgrims seem to have experienced the "Camino de Compostera San Tiago" ( in Spain, ) I think this is correct.

But now that I am 82 years old, I am starting to show some signs of old age, and my wife has told me to stop going on the Shikoku walking pilgrimage alone. I would love to walk around Shikoku again with my feet. So, I went to YouTube and watched the following videos and felt like I was "walking" the pilgrimage myself.

In addition to this girl, "Snedra" and others have given walking pilgrimages in Shikoku on YT.

There are various ways to visit the 88 Sacred Sites of Shikoku. Options include sightseeing buses and private cars, but if you want to rely on your own physical strength, you can choose to travel by bicycle (typically a road bike) or on foot, relying solely on your own two feet.

In my case, back in 2009, a friend I’d known since high school in Japan sent me a TV program about “Ohenro”—the pilgrimage to walk the Shikoku 88 Sacred Sites.

The moment I saw it, I thought, “I want to go to Shikoku.”

Next time, I’ll talk about what it was about Shikoku that drew me in.

I may have mentioned this before, but I was born exactly one year before Japan’s War-Ending Day (or, more accurately, Defeat Day) in Kami-Isshiki-cho, Edogawa Ward, on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo.

On the eastern side of Edogawa Ward, the Edogawa River flows into Tokyo Bay, and Chiba Prefecture lies on the opposite bank of the river.

Public elementary and junior high schools back then didn’t have swimming pools, so when I wanted to swim during summer vacation, I would sometimes walk about 45 minutes under the scorching sun to the Edogawa River to swim.

If you go upstream along the Edogawa River, you’ll reach Katsushika Ward, where you’ll find “Shibamata Taishakuten”—a temple familiar from the “Tora-san” movies and commonly called “Taishaku-sama”—which I’ve visited several times for New Year’s prayers and other occasions.

Also, near there on the Edogawa River is the “Yagiri Ferry,” made famous by Takashi Hosokawa’s song, I once took the ferry from the Chiba Prefecture side and disembarked on the Tokyo side, paid my respects at Shibamata Taishakuten, walked down the street where Torasan’s shop is located in the movies, and then headed toward central Tokyo from Shibamata Station on the Keisei Kanamachi Line.

By the way, I didn’t spot “German Steel Helmet” anywhere. ^^

While browsing the internet, I stumbled upon ・ The Ventures’ ♪ “Walk Don’t Run” ♪.

That brings back memories—apparently it was a hit in 1964. I think I was in high school back then. A show called “Electric Guitar Battle” was really popular on TV, and I used to be glued to it. But just watching wasn’t enough—I ended up going to a record&music store and buying the cheapest electric guitar that was all the rage at the time.

An electric guitar requires an amp (with a speaker), but I didn’t have enough allowance for one. Since I already had two DIY tube mono amps, I repurposed those instead.

The intro starts in A minor, and I kept repeating “ja-ja-jan, ja-ja-jan, ja-ja-jaaan” over and over, trying to memorize it.

The current temperature in the shade outside my house is 82°F (28°C).

82°F is on the cooler side; when it gets hot, it can sometimes exceed 100°F.

Well, here in inland LA, the temperatures are high, but the humidity is low, so it’s manageable to be outside.

Today, I was digging up the ground in the backyard to pull weeds. The type of weed is called crabgrass—it’s the toughest kind.

If I didn’t have ornamental plants growing there, I’d spray it with a powerful herbicide specifically designed for this weed, but I can’t do that.

I could hire a gardener, but since I’m retired and have all the time in the world, I should just take care of the yard myself—but I’m lazy at heart, so that doesn’t work out either.

I’m having a hard time with crabgrass. It blooms with small yellow flowers. I’m thinking of building a studio on half of my yard. Since I’d be covering it with concrete anyway, I might as well turn it into a rental unit. $ It’s ridiculous to hire someone at 20 an hour just to pull it out—it just grows back anyway. It was cold, so I didn’t check the garden, and before I knew it, it had spread like wildfire. I treat it as an hour of daily exercise.

I’ve been diligently killing crabgrass, so there isn’t much left.

I’m also tempted to expand half of the front yard into the living room.

Every week, a trash can big enough for two people gets filled with tree branches, grass, and other debris. I have 14 fruit trees. I regret digging up the lawn when I was younger to plant flowers and trees, but it’s really soothing.

Hanaki Retiree,

> Every week, a trash can big enough to fit two people is filled with tree branches, grass, and other debris.

It must be a huge amount for that trash can to get completely full.

I imagine it takes a lot of effort just to cut back all that unwanted vegetation.

At my place, the area is covered with large, bushy leaves from the Grand Cover grass that looks nice, but I’m worried because crabgrass has spread all over the ground underneath.

Instead of skimping and trying to save the “Grand Cover” grass, I’m thinking of growing a small amount of it elsewhere and treating the entire area with crabgrass killer. I guess this will be a year-long project.

Once crabgrass gets big, it takes the strength of a burly man to pull it out. As an elderly woman, I usually give up after about ten tries. When I go for a walk, I see spots where the lawn has lost the battle to crabgrass and looks absolutely miserable, but I suppose I just have to ignore it. I guess the only option is to use herbicide. I sprayed some on the crabgrass, but the surrounding grass died too. It really does work. Since I’m retired, I’m just pulling them out little by little.

How much is your home internet now, how much is your outgoing internet bill ( how much is the Wifi Hot Spot on your phone ? ) and how much are you spending per month on communication?
How much do you consider expensive and how much data do you use per month, etc.
It would be difficult to answer without at least this information.

I personally consider Verizon's portable Wi-Fi to be highly reliable, and I can use up to 150GB per month for $ 80, but
if you watch videos, etc., it would be unrealistic to use this as your home Internet connection.

But Porsche is different. Hybrid is the lowest and maintenance cost is absurdly high

Other German luxury cars also have high maintenance cost
Wealthy people may flirt with Benz, Porsche, etc. for a while, but eventually they settle down with Lexus when they get old.
People who have enough money and don't mind the price end up with Lexus ~ It is best to change luxury cars in 3 years

Korean cars look cheap but they are copies and you can't find the soul of technology like Japanese cars
Sometimes people are fooled by the price and the glance, but I think I am not the only one. Sometimes there are people who are fooled by the price, but they are often people with low IQ.

I am going to Las Vegas for the first time in about 10 years.

I'm freaking out that parking is now charged. I used to buy the 24 hour buffet all-you-can-eat and eat all the seafood etc. that I love. ?

I'm thinking about what to do this time because I'm taking my kids and I hope they can enjoy it, but I feel like I can't go anywhere if parking costs $ 20 or so every time.

I would like to go to Coca-Cola, M&M and other stores that are fun to look at, as well as the interior of each hotel, the fountains and the pirate show. I am worried.

I would like to have fun with my kids and family, no drinking or gambling.

If you are staying in a remote hotel, Uber is the only way to get to the strip and back. Don't take a cab, you will get ripped off
Once you get to the strip, there is a bus that runs around the clock and you can take it to remote downtown areas.

I love kumquat and want to grow it, but please tell me what to do.

My mother in law has a great kumquat tree, but the landlord says it is self-sown and he has no knowledge of it.

She wants me to come and get it, but my house is too far away and I can't get there easily.

But I like kumquat so much that I buy it at the supermarket.

I looked up the meaning of the word "kumquat", but I didn't know what it means.

I heard it takes about 5-10 years from seed, so I can't wait 🥹

I wonder if I should cut the tree down and plant it in the ground ? The owner doesn't eat kumquat but the tree is full of fruit so the birds will probably damage it a lot. So he thinks that he should take the whole tree with him.

I think I am the only one eating them. I can't move the tree, but if I cut off a branch or something and get some part of it, can I grow it in my house?

Why not try taking up a tree with permission? Even if you are successful, it will take 3 to 5 years for the tree to bear fruit, but it will be a pleasure to watch the plant grow.

Usually with trees like that, you cut off the small branches in the off-season and
grow them in pots and fertilize them at first. When they get big enough, you move them to land. I think that's how it works.
I did it with grapes, and they were doing well, but the gardeners threw them away ( tears )
I think it still takes a few years for them to bear fruit.

I think it would be faster to buy them from some nursery ?.

Thank you ! It takes that long 🥲

For now, I think it would be better to buy one pot of fruit from Nursery, grow and eat it, and enjoy growing the branches I get from that house.

I wonder if I should cut the branches around there ? Do you have any advice ?

Also, I don't think I have ever come across a Nursery that sells Kumquat in the past ?
The last time I saw a potted kumquat plant was about 10 years ago at a swap meet, sold by an Asian guy. I remember regretting it for a while because even then I was traveling far from home and didn't buy it.

Some types of citrus are banned from sale. I don't know if you can get them because they are regulated to prevent disease and I saw on the news that a vendor in San Diego sued the governor of the state by the million as he had to get rid of his seedlings.
There are plenty of YouTubers who can find you trees to take, but they are more likely to be successful than cuttings.

I planted this tree 30 years ago and at first it produced a kumquat, but since the second year it has produced a lemon that is 15 cm long. I don't want the lemons, I want them to become kumquat, but only lemons. It is a strange tree.

I want to do composting in my yard, do you have any recommendations ?

I mainly put vegetable scraps and fruit peels.

I'm thinking of getting a rotary one, but I'm not sure. Can I keep putting them in ? I feel like if I do, the unsoiled stuff will stay forever.

I live in OC. It seems like there are programs where you can take your food scraps somewhere or have them collected at home and get soil, but so far I have no plans to get anything back into the soil from the compost.

I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ! I knew it was worm ! !

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try !

I see the rotary one has two layers ! I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more !.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

It's easy and I'll try it today ! !

Callus is popular on Japanese Instagram, but which one is it in the US ? I heard they put it with rice bran.

Japan is nice to get rice bran for free🥹.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon $ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.
