Nice!!!! Listening to this now........

oooooh sounds very Haunted House! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, listening now. Never heard of this group.

That nuclear power plant is not in Russia. It's in Ukraine, near Belarus's southern border.

Russia/Putin is doing this to cause trouble for Ukrainians..... to defeat them. 😟

wait, what???!

Pardon if you already know about GReeeen!

Maybe some lurkers don't.... lol

As a kid, I did not know why they were called "Kansas." I just looked it up--formed in Topeka. They had/have really great songs.

This group you hear in this video is from Fukushima:

GReeeeN

4. River kisses Kamzin.
She's had a crush on this guy even before she met him. She kisses him back.

Later, as she climbs, she says to herself that it didn't mean anything. River doesn't seem to remember kissing her that evening.

River has secrets.🔥Kamzin will soon start to learn what they are.

3. Kamzin impresses River with her climbing skills. He impresses hers with his climbing skills, too.

River is younger than Kamzin thought an explorer of such talent and grit would be. Just slightly older than her. Wait, hey. Does he have a secret?! And I don't mean extra oxygen tanks.

2. No, Kamzin, no! You can't! You're too young! You are not supposed to climb mountains!

That's what she hears from her family.
But awry the plan goes.

And off goes Kamzin, climbing the mountain with River and others.

Thank you! Just clicked for my kindle. Thank you!!!

I am glad you posted today! I've been a little worried....how have you been?

I think so, too, about comics.

I agree that comics are important...!

6. I hope that one of her books will be published in English.

Hint, Hint, publishers.

5. Ando finishes with, "また怒りを新たにして、私は日本に戻ってきたのだった。"

"Still kindling my anger, with new determnation, I returned to Japan."

I can understand Ando's feelings. She was born in Hiroshima, moved to Minami-Soma (which is in Fukushima, near Fukushima Daiichi) in 2003.

5.
In the last paragraph, Ando says "経済と引き換えに、不公平を受忍させられているのではない。"

Which I think means: "In pulling up the economy, it's not okay to tolerate unfairness."

She says "....学べることは多くあるはず."
"There seems to be a lot left to learn."
