Topics discussed included:
1) Ranking of Japanese prefectures according to longevity of males and females living there. Nagano Prefecture has the greatest longevity for females and males. Aomori Prefecture has the shortest. Contributing factors may include diet, alcohol consumption, and daily activities of the elderly.
2) Girls' Day Festival (March 3rd) as celebrated at Shimogamo Jinja in Kyoto (with paper dolls floating away on the river to take away sickness from girls).
3) Plum tress are blossoming in Kyoto and Osaka.
