April Fool's Day

It is very warm here in Tokyo. I'm sure those cherry trees I see every day will soon be in bloom but none of them is in bloom today.

Now this is the first day of spring. Yes, April Fool's Day. Did you play some practical jokes on your friends, relatives or family ? I'm afraid most of you say,"No." Nor did I. Are there still many countries where they enjoy the day playing practical jokes?

When I was a student, I used to elaborate some jokes and enjoyed seeing my victims shocked to know it was April Fool's Day. Of course, I myself was sometimes one of the victims. I have been very easy to be cheated since my childhood. I am not so clever, anyway.

Today there are too many strange events, too many accidents, and too many disasters every day. So we don't find humor in the most unexpected events in life, I'm afraid.
