Ichi the way: Rainy days

This ten days, untill yesterday, it was almost rainy or cloudy. And temperture was low, around 5 degrees all the time. So I was so nervous. I had nathing to do without walking the city. Even in the rain, I was walking there.

In the rainy city, I found one interesting thing that is different from Japanese culture. Maybe someone know that Norty American people don't like to have an umbrella. In Canada, actually it's real. Two of three people don't have an umbrella. In my opinion, they prefer parka (jacket with hood), instead of an umbrella. In Calgary, more than harf people wear parka in the rain, and take a hood. They like parka, that's why, parka is common clothes in the world. Of course, in Japan also. But unfortunatelly, it just a fashion. Because Japanese people have an umbrella.

Last Sunday, I learned their style and I went out with only a rain jacket. As a result, it's,,, okay. A rain jacket kept my body dry. But jeans and shoes got wet. Actually it's not comfortable.

Translate to Japanese
　昨日まで10日間、ほとんど雨か曇り。気温はずっと5℃くらい。ちょっと憂鬱な日々。街を歩き回ることくらいしかやることありません。雨の日だって。

　街中で面白いことを発見。日本とは違う習慣。たぶん知ってる人いるかもしれないけど、アメリカ人は傘が嫌い？ここはカナダだけど、実際3人に2人は雨の中でも傘さしてないかな。その代わりにパーカが好きなのだと思う。カルガリーでは雨の中、半分以上の人はパーカを来てフードを被っている。彼らがパーカが好きだからか、パーカは世界中で好まれているのかな。もちろん日本でも。でも日本じゃただのファッションでしかないかな。それもそのはず、日本には傘があるから。

　この前の日曜は、彼らを見習ってレインジャケットだけで出かけてみた。結果、、問題なし。体は濡れなかったからね。でもジーンズも靴も濡れてしまって、やっぱ快適じゃないな。
