Today I had a conversation with a friend. At the beginning, there was a strange echo and some unexpected sounds during the call. We suspected it might be related to the computer, microphone, or even a VPN connection, but we could not find the exact cause. Later, our conversation shifted to internet privacy and communication in China. This reminded me of a story my father told me. When he worked at a factory, employees were supposed to receive compensation for winter heating expenses, but the factory did not pay them. Some workers discussed gathering together to address the issue, and shortly afterward many of them received phone calls from the police. One police officer privately admitted that he understood their frustration because his own mother had experienced something similar. I mentioned that learning Chinese is often less urgent for foreigners because they can usually live and work successfully without speaking Chinese. We discussed some former students of mine.

I came across an interesting article online about working out when you are sick. I would like to share some of the interesting points here. It's up to body status if it is okay to work out when you are sick, not depending on if you put your game face on. The basic criteria for judgement is that it is okay to work out lightly if the symptom appears above your neck. If the symptom appears below your neck, you shouldn't do that. This is famous criteria called "Neck Rule". The symptoms above your neck are as follows 1)Have stuffy nose like you are coming down with a cold. 2)Feel a bit discomfort around your throat such as you don't have strong pain or don't have a fever. 3)Have mild headache. Sometimes working out makes you feel better in the case that the symptom comes from stress and lack of sleep 4)Have hay fever. You can basically exercise. However, you should avoid doing that when you have difficulty breathing. On the other hand, you must not work out if you fall under these symptoms below A)Have a fever over 37.5 degrees. Immune system is working and exercising is counterproductive. B)Feel a strong sense of fatigue. It is very danger that I can work out even though I'm feeling out of it C)Can't stop coughing. Your lungs and bronchi can have inflammation. D)Have a pain in your chest and out of breath. These are so dangerous situation. You must get some rest. So, you can ask yourself the questions below to judge if you are not feeling well Q1)Do you have a appetite? If no, skip work-out. Q2)Do you get much sleep? If no, skip work-out Q3)Do you think you will be able to recover if you exercise? If no, skip exercise. I usually go to the gym once a week to work out. So, I'm a bit worried if I wasn't able to go to the gym all week because I feel like muscle loss happens quickly when I stop training. However, this is wrong.

I went to the hotel in class. It was good.

I read comic books by app. It's called 'Nezumi's first love'. I especially like compositions.

The difference between dessert and a snack in Japan is that dessert is something sweet eaten after a meal. A snack is anything else.

I don't have any plans today. So I'm going to take the day off and get back to work tomorrow.

I’m going to go to a cafe in Omotesando with my high school friends. I want to take a lot of cute photos!
