No, I don't have a garden. Most people in Tokyo don't. There just isn't the space for it. But like most Japanese, I crave nature and love being near lush vegetation. It's a stark contrast from the mass amounts of buildings that are here, in the world's largest city. And, as we are still experiencing aftershocks (and some new earthquakes thrown in for good measure), I like to get outside to soothe my soul.
いや、家にはお庭はありません。東京に住んでいるほとんどの人もありません。そういうスペースがないのです。でも私は多くの日本人と同じように自然と接することが必要で、みずみずしい植物の近くにいるのが大好きです。
When the March 11 earthquake struck most things (like gas, phone lines and, in some places, electricity) shut off. So I wasn't expecting this water fountain to be functioning. Oops!! Most things in Japan are getting back to normal, and the water fountain is no exception!
3月11かの地震の後、ガス、電話、電気、など色々なものが切れました。なので、この温水も効かないと思っていましたけど、ビックリ！この温水だけではなく、だんだん日本は普通に戻っていっています。
I just sat for a while, collecting my thoughts, breathing in the fresh air and thinking about how lucky I am to be able to enjoy Tokyo in the springtime.
しばらく私はここに座って、新鮮なん空気を
