In Japan, the weather mostly changes by week. If it was rainy last weekend, it is possibly rainy this weekend, too. If you were a student or a businessman who can only take a holiday on weekends and it was rainy last weekend, you have to spend a rainy weekend every week. About five years ago, I was addicted to riding motorcycle. As I had a permanent job every weekday at that time, I could only enjoy motorcycling on weekends. And unfortunately, I had a rainy weekend every week. I have never cursed the weather stronger than at that time. Now I'm not tied to a weekly schedule, I can enjoy motorcycling whenever I like. But I have a backache and I don't like to ride on a bike for a long time. Life does not flow as I hope.

I just got back from vacation rcnteely and for seven days I didn't turn my phone, checked email sparingly and didn't bring a camera. I was travelling with two other people and they did the same. I was asked repeatedly for pictures when I got back which made me realize two things- we are too open with our private thoughts/memories. Facebook, twitter and blogs make us show off every aspect of our lives, including trips. I just saw a status update from one friend in the middle of the Amazon! Second, I think it also brings people together. I know that people want to see what I was up to, maybe to get a clearer sense of what I experienced. But having these private memories with only 2 other people makes us much closer. Our private jokes and funny encounters are only recorded in our minds. No iphone s needed.
