Had to go back in this F$%'&ked up situation, had like 6 or 7 PCR tests, 3 days quarentine in a hotel, 14 days in total and back to work tomorrow... really nice to hear from my co-worker that I should have taken a test again today for PCR and "How can we and parents trust you?".....

Selfless or just plain crazy?

Two signs at the entrance of Yoyogi Park: the left one asks people to avoid gatherings and restricts them to five persons for a maximum of two hours. On the right: announcing a public viewing area for the Tokyo Olympics for 35,000 people.




The construction of the public-viewing area has sparked criticism as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to cut trees in Yoyogi Park.
