[Daily march log 0806] Arrival at Himeji

By liferoad.org on August 23, 2023 • ( 0 )

1. It is the day to arrive in Himeji.

2. It is very hot summer in both Korea and Japan. I stood at Aioi(Sang sang) Station, where I was supposed to arrive yesterday. Sangsang is also my nickname that I use as my cafe name. ‘Sangsang (means Coexistance)21’

3. I take advantage of the shade provided by the Shinkansen for a while.

4. On Sunday morning, the neighbors are cleaning together.

Walk along the old roads of this village for a long time.

6.While walking, I recalled the title of an article in the Onomichi news paper. I think there is a problem with the terminology in the title of the article. ‘Master’ is the correct expression‎, not ‘main character’. Perhaps my intentions were not conveyed properly to the reporter back then. In other words, the main character is the leading role only in the set space of the stage. But Master is different. Regardless of whether we are on stage or not, the beliefs we have tell us whether we are the masters. There is a definite difference.

7. Selfie at a scenic spot.

8. Is it a shrine dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Although the size varies from village to village, places like this look special.

10. You can see waterways like this in every neighborhood. There is always clean water flowing. This great unique advantage of Japan is huge.

11.

12. The average family usually owns more than one car. There is no on-street parking in Japan, which has been implementing a garage certification system for a long time. This is why there is no hindrance to vehicle traffic even though the road has not been widened.

13. Arrive at Aboshi Station.

14. During the daytime break, I look over the PPT material I received from Nishi-san a few days ago.

15. Aboshi Station again at 4pm. very hot weather. Again today, I march alone all day. It is probably because anti-nuclear figures from the nearby area went there to the atomic bomb-related event that is being held in Hiroshima today as well as yesterday.

16. Walk towards downtown Himeji.

US state of Massachusetts bans ocean dumping of nuclear-contaminated water from disused nuclear power plants – Mindle, a citizen media that changes the world. (This article can be heard audio.)

Holtec, the Plymouth-based Pilgrim nuclear power plant decommissioning company, which was shut down after the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection stopped generating electricity four years ago, dismantled…

18. American news seen during the break. In the United States, there are states that ban the release of nuclear contaminated water.

Biden is the weird one. For the head of the federal government to make such an erratic judgment would have been unthinkable in the past. During the ideological confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there was an effort to keep moral supremacy, but that changed as the days passed.

19. Maybe this contaminated water incident is an incident that teaches us a lesson that we should not trust the government and leave it alone.

US Congress must block contaminated water from nuclear power plants – Mindle, citizen media that changes the world.

In May 2019, Masashi Goto, a Japanese nuclear power plant engineer, came to Seoul with science journalist Hiroshi Makita to testify at a lecture held by the Minbyun Environment Committee. ‘Contaminated water at nuclear power plants is a matter of money. www.mindlenews.com

20. One of the alternatives to stop this now lies with the US Congress. Here is a column I wrote recently.

The current president of South Korea is Yoon Seok-yeol, but Lee Jae-myung is the leader of the majority party in Congress. If party leader Lee Jae-myeong visits the US Congress and tries to persuade them, the attempt itself can move international public opinion. That is the virtue of a politician. Lee, the leader of the Democratic Party, must exercise the power delegated by the people.

. 21. Standing on a bridge, waving a flag that says “Stop Polluted Water Dumping”.

22. Entering Himeji City, a store specializing in kimchi caught my eye. Was it ever so popular?

23. Shoe specialty stores also stand out.

24. The blue ones above are sandal-type sneakers purchased in Busan. Good to wear in the rainy season. Anyway, the soles are already worn out. They are the shoes that have walked about four hundred kilometers. I changed to regular style sneakers in gray.
