Because we never know what changes every minute, every decision, will bring.

In this week's Japanese tutoring class, we will introduce the monolingual "one session (いちごいちえ)" to the students, which originates from the traditional Japanese tea ceremony culture. The encounter between the host and the guest may be this one time, and every rare fate should be cherished.

"That time in Furano, by the purple-blue lavender fields, my children and I each had a lavender-flavored ice cream. This image kept repeating in my mind..." The students who love to travel began to talk about their past journeys. The fragments of memories left behind also share the principles that have been pursued in travel for many years: willing to spend and play.

Even if you go abroad and bring just the right amount of travel expenses, you are still preoccupied with eating, drinking, and having fun. Therefore, during the journey, you constantly check the balance in your pocket to suppress the desire to enjoy food and shopping, or to stuff it full in one day. It is a common thing to be unable to return to the best of your ability due to careful planning and rushing around in the itinerary.

With the mood of a period of time, follow the thoughts of the moment, and enjoy it to the fullest, because we will never know what changes will be brought about by every minute, every second, and every decision.
