In the old days
It is the fourth here. Not many American flags that is for sure. In the old days my parents went to the consulate and have what they could not get in Japan Coca-Cola. Things certainly have changed. Japan has many Coke machines but ironically they sometimes don’t have Cokes in them.
In America when I was growing up there was the Fourth of July picnic. At night there was the fireworks display in the bay that I could see from my house.
What traditions do you remember?
