Exercise Team Leader

After getting up, I attended the online NHK Japanese news reading group from 8:30 till 9:30. We took turns reading the standard news after we read the easy one first. I am sure it would be helpful for us to get used to watching the TV news broadcasting in Japanese. I myself need to read the news several times to become a fluent announcer. I recorded the news and posted it on the Line group as a group leader. 

The news was about the popular street kart in Tokyo. Foreign tourists can put on the clothes of famous anime and manga characters to ride in the cart to various scenic spots in Shibuya. I like the business idea to promote the fancy world of Japan. If I had a chance, I'd like to ride the kart in a costume of Demon Slayer!

At 11:00, the Korean language group met for lunch at Saizeriya restaurant near DaPinLing MRT Station. Three of us enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, chatting in Korean till 2:30. 

I invited my Korean teacher to join me to see Brother Jimmy at Taipei Hospital. We took Bus 918 to the hospital and saw Jimmy at the lobby of the psychiatic clinic at 3 o'clock. We waited for 30 minutes before Brother Jimmy and I discussed with the doctor about the dose reduction of Cymbalta from 60mg to 30mg a day for two weeks.

At 4 o'clock we went to the rehabilitation center on the first floor. While we were talking, Borther Jimmy used a hot pad on his back to soothe his back pain. Brother Jimmy told me that he would skip dinner from now on to reduce the body weight to 75 Kgs. And he would exercise regularly to stay fit and reduce the medication. 

I am glad that Brother Jimmy is more conscious of his physical health now. He has quitted smoking successfully. He is working on cutting down the intake of carbohydrate now. When he is engaged in getting well, he would feel happy for himself. And I promise to join his exercise team at WuGu regularly. 

There is no need to reinterate the importance of the health for people our age. When Brother Jimmy can help the residents at WuGu by being an exercise team leader, he will be helping himself by helping others, a shared joy is a double joy.
