Day 088

It has been 88 days since I arrived in Ann Arbor.

The first day after thanksgiving!
The beginning of final sales in this year!
This friday is called the Black Friday,
which means that shops become in the black.
(It has no connection with a financial crisis.)

I went shopping today with my Japanese friend, Mr. H.
we went to the briarwood mall, which is the biggest mall in Ann Arbor.
In there, most merchandise is sell 20-50% off.
I bought a book written by Chris Anderson and six pair of socks

The Thanksgiving Day!

It has been silent on a street.
Some chimneys smoke.
It tells that some families spend time in their warm houses.

I felt it get colder than ever.

Let me write on last Sunday.

It was an hour earlier in my PC's clock.

That confused me.

63 days have passed since I arrived in Ann Arbor.

It was Halloween at last Saturday.

I found many people who dressed in costume.

It was a scene in the United States.

In Japan I haven't seen it except at particular places--

at the Loft which is a chain department store,

or, at the Tokyo Disney Land which is the amusement park.

Many young men and women seemed to enjoy Halloween,

which also made me feel so.
