Foreigners Prohibited to Come Here for the Olympics?


Hello there, I hope you are doing well.

Things have started moving forward here in Japan. From the Olympics to the inoculation of everyone against COVID-19.

The Tokyo Olympics Committee has answered questions regarding the upcoming event. The committee has not directly answered whether foreigners will be allowed to come for the big event or not, but how they have answered the questions imply that foreigners would not be allowed to come here. Given that case, the Olympics will either only have residents as the audience or no audience at all. This, unfortunately, means that the losses would have to be taken out of public money. Read the article for the complete report.

It’s like I’ve been awakened, every rule I had you breaking

It’s the risk that I’m taking, I ain’t never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now, I’m surrounded by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo, you know you’re my saving grace

 

 

Here’s this week’s song:

(Fast forward to 01:20)

 

 

I’ve seen the _____, lit it up as my stage now

Channeling _______ in, the new age now

Hot summer days, ____ and ____

The way you’d ____ for me at your show

And all the ____ I got to know

Your ____ face and _______ soul

Today’s Youtube Recommendation:

Because of the state of emergency and the on-going pandemic, I’m sure everyone misses traveling around the country. And due to that, I recommend the channel, “Abroad in Japan”, which features different places in Japan and recommendations as to where to go and eat in & out of Tokyo. He talks with his native, British accent, which would be good listening practice.

Something that happens in Japan’s neighboring country. The military in South Korea refuses to accept transgenders to take part in protecting the country. Last year, a soldier openly announced that she had gender reassignment surgery done and stood by her decision to still be a soldier. She was found dead a week ago and they are now investigating the cause of it.

 

Remember to take care of yourself and stay safe.
