I came to New York to visit my daughter, who is currently working here.
As I would be away for an extended period, and for security reasons, I decided to publish these posts after returning to Japan.
I took the afternoon off and flew from Haneda to New York on a night flight.
For someone with claustrophobia, eleven hours felt long and a little worrying. Fortunately, the cabin was fairly empty, and with the help of medication, I arrived without any major problems.
My daughter was waiting for me at the airport.
I left Japan on December 25 and managed to arrive in New York in time for Christmas night on the same date.
After unpacking, we went out into the city on Christmas night.
The sheer number of people on the streets surprised me. Despite the cold, everyone seemed cheerful, enjoying the evening.
“ In New York, if you bump into someone, just say I’m sorry, ”
my daughter had advised me beforehand.
I stayed alert with that in mind, but in the most crowded places, there was no time to say anything at all. In areas with a bit more space, there was simply no need to worry about bumping into anyone.
That night, I enjoyed a meal my daughter had prepared, and we spent a pleasant evening together.
