A new year has started.
How do you feel?
It is a really nice sunny day.
No wind, getting warmer gradually.
Hopefully a year free from ( big) earthquakes.
Mount Fuji...are you waking up this year?
A new government...well almost new.
A recycled PM, same old faces
Anyone have any predictions.
I predict that maybe, somebody might possibly, read my blog.
First ......New Year News
Death from Mochi ( Rice cakes )
This warning was put on ( www.japntoday.com)
Authorities appeal to elderly to be careful when eating 'mochi'
TOKYO —
The National Police Agency and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency on Monday appealed to elderly people to be careful when eating “mochi” rice cakes during the New Year holidays.
The cakes, a traditional New Year’s food, cause choking incidents among elderly people every year. Authorities appealed to people across Japan to cut up their mochi into small chunks and to eat it with great care, and in the presence of someone else.
Last year on New Year’s Day, emergency services in Tokyo took 13 elderly people to hospital after they choked on the “mochi.” Two of them died.
Nice way to start the New Year.
Maybe there should be a government warning put on them.
Anyway... hope for a good year all round.
