We have the Boy Scouts in Japan too, though I don't know about it except they wear cowboy hats.

As for Halloween, it is important for me to hear your opinion about it, which would be rather "negative".
I didn't want to write something negative in here, so I didn't mention about the tragedy that had happened at ON or ONE particular Halloween night.
A Japanese teenager A JAPANESE TEENAGE student[/b]) was shot to death at ONE Halloween night, when he disguised himself as a monster, enjoying the "trick or trade". He was dead because he couldn't understand the meaning of "freeze!".
If I had been him, I too would have thought OF it as "please!". And I was shot to death too. (I might have been shot too.)
The accident had happened around 1990, and every Japanese was so shocked. And I myself decided to quit going to America.


HI Supperman, thats an awful story-- where did this happen? Was it in America? I wonder why the gunman Had a gun in the first place.Why such an innocent act had to be related to death?

The shooting GUNman was judged as innocent at the court, because of "justifiable defense". That seems very strange to me. But aN ex-FBI officer said that he was guilty, in a book "I Have Lived in the Monster" by Robert K. Ressler、Tom Shachtman.
He didn't have to shoot.....
The ex-FBI officer analyzed the character of the shooting man.

I don't know what the truth was. It was just an opinion of a book writer.( AN AUTHOR.) or WRITER.

Anyway, very unfortunately, I have negative feelingS about "Halloween", too.
And I will never forget the meaning of the word "freeze!".

Hi.
Here is the rink of the description of the case.
I think it is more objective and accurate than mine.
I'm subjective, and furthermore, my memory is not correct enough to talk about it.

She would probably be very tall if she stood up. She’s wearing a yellow long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans and red shoes.
On her right, which means on the observer’s left, there is a man walking side by side. He’s wearing a dark blue T shirt with short sleeves. It has red line at the edge of sleeves and the collar. He’s putting his left hand into the blue jeans’ pocket.

At IN the background, there is a big traffic sign; white bar in red background. In Japan, its meaning is “do not enter”, though I don’t know if it’s the same thing worldwide.

At IN the background, there are well-built buildings made of stones. The couple is ARE on the cobble-stone pavement. I think this town has a long history.

There are cars crowdedly CLOSELY parked at ON the right side of the road，facing toward the camera,　which means that it is a left-side traffic country, such as the UK.
I don’t think the cars are in A traffic jam, but parked, because the front wheels of the cars are at unnatural angle for driving forward.

As I could see their face only quite vaguely, I couldn’t tell the feeling of the couple.

…….Hey! I can’t comment anything interesting about this photo. It is so SUCH A boring description. Sorry! And thank you for your patience to read, as usual.

This is the revised version.

A couple is ARE strolling toward the camera. The woman is sitting in a wheel chair ad wheeling it by herself. She is slim and has long hair. She seems to have a long neck and long arms too. She would probably be very tall if she stood up. She’s wearing a yellow long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans and read RED shoes. ( I think her neck looks long because she is stretching down to push her wheels and her yellow top has a low neck. It's clear that she has to put a lot of effort into propelling her chair along) No doubt she wishes to be independent and manage without anyone elses help.)On her right, which means on the observer’s left, there is a man walking side by side. He’s wearing a dark blue T shirt with short sleeves. It has red line at the edge of sleeves and the collar. He’s putting his left hand into the blue jeans’ pocket.

In the background, there are well-built buildings made of stones. The couple are on the cobble-stone pavement. I think this town has a long history.

There are cars closely parked on the right side of the road, facing toward the camera, which means that it is a left-side traffic country, such as the UK.

I don’t think the cars are in a traffic jam, but parked, because the front wheels of the cars are at unnatural angle for driving forward.

Hey! The woman’s shape somehow reminds me of “Neitiri” in the movie “Avatar”. Have you watched “Avatar” yet?

May I give you my take on the picture?



I see a young couple coming towards me on a wide pavement. The young woman is self propelling her wheelchair and she is accompanied by a good looking young man. A few cars and a van are parked close to the kerb alongside them and I can see a few cycles in their own cycle bays on the left of the pavement. In the background are some substantial stone buildings. It seems to me that the couple are enjoying each others company. I do think they are having a good time.
