Chichibu
Hi Everybody,
A real quick one today. I have recently heard several good phrases in the news that I want to talk about. First is “pothole”. As you can see in the picture it is a damaged spot in a road. President Obama used it in a newscast a couple of days ago. He said “there were several potholes in the road to passing the law”. He meant this as there were several problems before the law could be passed. When driving a pothole can be dangerous or cause you trouble or to slow down. It is the same about life and business. The road we travel in life often has potholes.
The second picture is of Chichibu, of course. My wife and I went two years ago. Two hours standing on the train trip. Very crowded but a nice day. The picture is nice but the area was very disappointing. It was obvious that the flowers had just been planted and everything was temporary to draw visitors. I will never go there again. Unless you have a lot of free time and love to walk in areas that are not very special, I do not recommend Chichibu. The posters all make it look great but the place does not live up to the advertisements. Does everyone understand “live up to”?
Have a great day,
