Diary

This afternoon, I learned on the road that former Prime Minister Abe had got shot. I was shocked that it happened in broad daylight, in front of many people. ‘. I honestly thought the threat of guns was a story from across the sea. That day, I was so frightened that I even stopped at a convenience store to check my surroundings. I have never been in danger abroad, but I keep my luggage close to my body and watch my surroundings in places with many people. A country where women can walk alone at night. That is Japan. I thought being safe and peaceful was good for Japan, but this incident showed me this was false.
