• Once a week, air becomes worse (whole day, wearing a mask is needed).

• It is often reported in Japan that Chinese have bad manners. However, I think this will be changed soon(younger people usually have good manners and so kind).

• Shinzo Abe visited Beijing in October, 2018. He announced that this year(2019) is a year of interacting among younger people between Japan and China.
