    My local area does a cool print magazine called Life in Minamiuonuma. You can see a bit more about it on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lifein.minamiuonuma/ I think it's a cool way to both practice language skills and also learn about new things happening in the area. It covers things like businesses that have opened, seasonal events, job information, and more.

    I used to buy household magazines for the freebies! But I haven't in years. The only magazines I would buy now are Travel Mooks, but the ones I liked went out of print during the pandemic. I was a loyal purchaser of the quarterly Metropolitan area Walker and Pia magazines. I hope they come back someday - I thought they'd come back this year, but sadly not.

    I actually enjoy picking up those free little magazines at train stations about what is in the local ward. The are usually like 20 pages or so, but they do highlight regional things I wouldn't discover otherwise.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
