Not worst.

I got car accident. I said good-bye to my Accord.

This is so bad for me. Because of this accident, I had to use much time, had big losses, had mental labor,,,,and so on.

However, it was not worst situation. The person who hit my car had full-cover insurance, and nobody got injured badly.(though my car's passengers got minor injure), and many people helped me. I realized my life is supported by many people. Thank you, everyone.

I'm trying to find more happy things in my life.

Week ends or not?

Just I didn't know that since I came to the US on September 2004.

Today is Friday, so "next Monday" is Feb 13. It's the week after next. Monday on next week(Feb 6) is "this Monday."

I didn't know that!

In Japan, "next Monday" means Monday on next week. And "this Monday"  has already passed(January 30).

Why American people call Monday on next week "this Monday."? It must sound strange for Japanese. American and Japanese have different view of "a week."  A week is continuing to next week in American view while a week ends on Sunday(or Saturday) in Japanese view.

But American people says "It's weekend♪" on Friday. Ummm.... Why?
