Candles are cool, especially when they have a soothing scent. Candles can be square or round, short or tall, and they come in various colors. But! Have you ever seen a really large candle? Take a look at the candle below. It’s a huge square chunk. Where would someone put this?! I wonder if it will ever find a home.

  

Hi everyone!

While out driving, I was privileged to see one of the most beautiful sights in all of Japan—a wild Japanese weasel!
Anyone who knows me even the slightest knows I’m overly obsessed with the entire weasel family. I knew there were wild weasels in Japan, but I never had the privilege of seeing a wild one in person—until now. It was brief as it bounded across the road—ginger fur glimmering in the sunlight—down into the riverside bushes.
I can say that today was one of the happiest days in Japan so far. I hope I get to see another one someday.   

Saw this today in Sakaide. This is pretty unusual back home. They're avoiding the number 4, right? I heard that older Japanese people think the number 4 is unlucky.

In the states some people feel that way about the number 13, but it's becoming less and less common everyday.
