Hello. I am a Japanese language tutor, Muu.

In Japan, Kyushu region, Shikoku region, and Honshu:the main island of Japan are in the middle of rainy season. It is literally raining outside the window of my room now.

 

By the way, today is one of the International Days, "Seafarers' Day". It is a day to recognise and appreciate the contribution of seafarers around the world to international maritime trade, global economy and civil societies. Without seafarers, there would not be enough food, daily necessities, even electricity and gas in Japan.

Anyway, I love the sea and riding ships. One of my most exciting sea trip was going to the Ogasawara island, also known as Bonin islands. Although they belong to Tokyo by administrative division, they are actually 1,000 kilometers south of Honshu. From Takeshiba, Tokyo, it takes 24 hours one way by ship. They have very beautiful sea and unique animals and plants. Playing with wild dolphins in the deep blue sea off the coast of the islands was unforgettable experience. 

It is also thanks to the seafarers that we are able to have this kind of experience.

Do you have any memories about ships?

See you soon.
