Today I got extra newspaper for the first time in my life.My wife, daughter, younger son, and I went to Umeda, the largest shopping area in west Japan, for shopping. The place was crowded as usual.
After crossing the zebra zone between Hankyu department store and Osaka station, I found people standing still to read something. Some were interviewed by TV crew, and others were giving out something like newspaper.
Immediately, I understood that extra newspapers were issued. I have seen guys picking an extra on TV, but, to be honest, this was my first time putting myself in such situations.
Although I was excited and happy when I took it, the content brought me back to the reality. As I guessed, the news on the extra showed that a bad event has happened.
It is Mother's day, today, which was destroyed by the bad news -- this kind of news is definitely unwelcome at any time, though. To avoid deteriorating the situation, more sanctions will be added internationally. However, it is worth noting that wars should not be allowed to happen again no matter how they behave.
