Two exhibition, I want to see.

This Friday is a general holiday "National Foundation Day", I really love having three days weekends. One day for relaxing, one day for exercise, one day for entertainment? I want to spend it like that. Now I have two exhibitions that I want to see. One of them this "JINTAI NO FUSHIGI"= Mysteries of the Human Body Exhibition. The human body is a kind of miracle, actually, so I have an interest to know more about it. But on the other hand...have I told you? I am very weak for this sort of stuff.I cannot bear seeing and hearing other's scar, pain, violent movies, or war movies. When I learned about Auschwitz, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it was a very hard time ( a kind of survival issue) for me. To tell the truth even the names of muscles and internal organs of the body make me feel bad. I have no idea WHY, it's as if I had died so badly in a past life :-p. Since my fear of those things is not normal (I feel), I want to overcome it if possible. I think I may try face the details as just a object, without excessive presentation, and the sensational sounds there. At least I could see this page, and I am surprised that I could do it without feeling so bad. This is held in the  Tokyo International Forum where the 2ch interactive boardcasting was staged. ( ha ha I like that story)

The other one is this "Art meets Media, adventure in perception" atICC in Tokyo Opera City. Especially I want to experience this art "db". Anyway this ICC (intercommunication center) has interesting exhibitions sometimes. Last year end they had this The nonsense machine of meiwa denki. Here is his funny site, you can see the English captions. Please check it out!

Hi Mari,
I like your blog very much. I travel to Japan as often as I can to see my friends in Tokyo, Hakodate, and Sapporo. I want to return soon to enjoy MY foodlife; when I went last summer I took my ten-year-old niece and ten-year-old cousin; all they would eat was ebi-ten!
Are you still interested in proofreading? I do not have a lot of free time to do it, because I am trying to start a medical proofreading business. Your first sentences would read better as:
"This Friday is the general holiday 'National Foundation Day.' I love three-day weekends. One day to relax, one day to exercise, one day for entertainment; that's my plan.
