In Northern Japan, the Wara Art Festival recently rang in the September-October rice season, and it’s a wildly inventive and fun way to repurpose rice straw left over from the harvest.
Snowmen? Psh. No. Get creative. Use ALL seasonal elements to craft your natural art and have fun year-round.
i’m 45 years old and i can assure you confidently that back in ‘my day’ we did NOT all chat merrily with our seatmates on the bus
people on public transport were as tired and/or obnoxious back then as they are today, and i WISH i could’ve been texting my friends on the way to work in 1990, and i woulda if i coulda
instead we listened to non-rechargable battery powered walkmans and read the newspaper and pretended we didn’t notice the guy next to us leaning in all night train burps and tobacco teeth to ask for a dollar
and unlike you, we didn’t have a way to call the cops if he followed us off the bus
what i’m saying is the mobile phone is a beautiful thing and people who whine about you using it in public are just losers who want attention
godspeed
I’m 42 and will confirm this.
35 and didn’t get a cellphone until late in the game (and took public transit a LOT both prior and after). Can absolutely confirm all of this. I read books, listened to a walkman/mp3 player, and generally dreaded getting one of those obnoxious seatmates who can’t take a hint to shut up and leave someone alone.
I also met my now-husband on the bus to work. Having the option not to talk to strangers on the bus just means that if I decide to talk to someone, it’s my choice.
…Mostly. Except for those obnoxious assholes who still can’t take a hint.
This looks like it’s a (super cool and imaginative) way of turning a studio into a one-bedroom – Chicago has a lot of “1br” apartments that are literally studios with a curved wall niche for the bed to go in – but I’m also looking at this going “I could….I could do this in my living room, I could build a BOOK NOOK in the niche in my living room.”
