Hoping for Sunshine

Every weekday I ride the train from Ise to Tsu. The train ride from Ujiyamada Station to Tsu Shinmachi Station takes 35 minutes. It would take about 1 hour by car. Also, the train uses very little energy per person, but cars use a lot. It is much more efficient to take the train.

However, when I ride the train, I need to ride my bicycle from the station to my schools. Usually I carry a rain jacket, rain pants, and a waterproof cover for my backpack. Today I left home without my rain gear. There were many clouds in the sky, so I was worried all morning.

Now the clouds are disappearing and the sun is shining. I am relieved.

Weird Dream

This morning I woke up from a weird dream. In the dream I was in India in a place I didn’t know. I put down my important backpack and climbed on a steam train. From the top of the train I was teaching children. The train left suddenly with me on top. When the train stopped, I wanted to take a train back to get my pack. Nobody knew where I came from and there were no more trains going back. I felt desperate.

Then I woke up.
