What is your favorite or least favorite memory of the Golden Week?
My favorite memory of the Golden Week is that several years ago,
I walked for the first time from my workplace in Nagoya to JR Kuwana Station in Mie prefecture,
which took about four hours of walking time and a total of one and a half hours of break time.
I got a sense of fulfillment from completing the walking.
Since then, I have done the same walking once a year, but this year, I'd like to walk to another place.

Do you think a vegetarian diet is better than a diet that includes meat?
And why?
Personally, I think we should eat both meat and vegetables
simply because we are one of omnivorous animals.
I believe we are omnivores because we can work most effectively
by consuming both plants and animal-derived nutrients.
In fact, humans have been eating meat for hundreds of thousands of years.
So, I may say, in a sense, a vegetarian diet is against nature.
