Work and words

Work like usual and then home. The word for today is (花粉症) said "ka foon show" meaning Hay Fever. Many Japanese suffer from it and it's mostly caused by the cedar trees growing in Japan which were planted in the past because of the higher value of the trees. Japan is slowly working to try and replace all the cedar forests with different trees to cut down on people suffering from hay fever and in turn cut down on the money spent on health care to fight the symptoms. Some people believe that masks help to block the pollen in the air, there are some other interesting products like the stuff you put in your nose in this commercial here.
