VS Oriental Magic

I don't know the reason why, but I have a strong neckache from last weekend. When I get up in the morning, I can't stand up smoothly due to the neckache. And, my neck-movability is very bad now. So, it's a very taugh work even to drive a car.
I thought this situation is very dangerous, and went to a hospital. X-ray check told me that I don't have any bone problem. This problem seems to come from my muscle around my neck. It became too hard for some reasons, so the strong pain occured.
Now I am getting some medcines, so the situation is getting better. I will be okey in a few days.

It just happened I went to an Acupuncture school for business yesterday. This school is planning to make a new school library, so I have helped them.
The school staffs are professional. They realised my neck problem soon, and they asked me to go to their doctor's room, almost without talking about our business matter.
They asked me to take my shirt off, and I was enforced to take an acupanture treat. It was my first time to experience such a treat, so I was very nervous then to be honest.
I told the doctor that it was my first time, so she stuck some needles into my neck very softly.
She asked me, "It's getting better?"
I thought that if I said "NO" I would get more needles. So, I told her "Good!".

I heard from the school staff that they call acupanture Oriental Magic, not Oriental Medicine. It is the reason why, too many wonders are left in it to call it medcine. So, even for them, it's a kind of magic.
After the treat, my neck-movability became better certainly. Human body is interesting.

VS Feast

Atsugi is now in a very feastive mood. Its annual feastival, Ayu Matsuri, started with the pre-night live by Creazy ken Band yesterday. Tonight we will have a big firework show near Sagami river. Last year, I missed it for the travel to Australia, so I can't miss it this year. I will watch the show in my friend's house, eating food and drinking wine. It's nice. Some brave watchers have already been near the river from around noon, to keep a good space to watch the firework, even though it's over 30 degrees today. They are taugh.
All night drinking is the manner hear after the firework show. All bars and pubs will be full tonight. Atsugi is the city for a feast. Endless drinking and "fooding" deserves this city.
