In university, I managed to go to classroom, ant there were a lot of students. A group of students were chatting together over topics of hobbies and games I was interested in. I wanted to join, but, after two years of sick leave, I didn't know them at all. The thing I wanted to talk was in my brain and on the tip of my tongue, and finally my mouth began to move. The students seemed not to turn attention to me, and I couldn't really take an action to address them. It was as if there had been a barrier between them and us. At that time, I explained this sense of alienation as the distance of one round earth trip i.e. 40,000 kilometers.

Platforms for local trains are 920 mm high, and ones for Shinkansen bullet train are 1,100 mm high. Platforms for commuting trains in large city areas are also 1,100 mm, so when trains designed for these areas arrive to a platform in local train area, there is a gap from the platform to the floor of the train car. In the past platforms used to be 760 mm high, but most platforms of JR line is either 920 mm or 1,100 mm high. When riding on a local train, you usually have to climb one step inside the car from the entrance to the main floor of the train. A new train which has been introduced recently is designed as barrier-free train, has low floor, and has no gap from platform to the floor of the train. Barrier-free train design is desirable, but managing two heights of the platforms may be preventing the train carriers from realizing it.

This really was a obstacle preventing me from break the ice from the beginning. It was clear that I need to some time to calm myself and meditate what I should do next. Fortunately one of the staff are kind enough to listen to what I had done that was exciting while I was taking a rest. The topic unexpectedly went deeply into the experience when I was student and when I discussed peace, being denied my feeling when I had heard the opinion about the Second World War from the viewpoint of American students. Sharing these kind of story was not bad, but I wasn't there to share what only I want to talk about. I was there to share the story that other comers also wanted ...

Saturday afternoon was talk session. Members discussed themselves, job, hobby, love.

Jogged 12.1km but run out of energy at 7 km after I felt my left knee hurt. It was after I swam unexpectedly vigorously yesterday in spite of my fatigue after the train trip after I jogged 7km before that day.
