On May 17, five years ago, I went on a two-week solo trip to four European countries. I've posted about it on this blog many times, but I'm reposting two canal views from Amsterdam, the first city I visited. An artificial floating city that was born 400 years ago. The city is filled with many layers of canals in concentric circles. Beautiful streetscape. The people I interacted with were free and tolerant, and the comfort was the best out of the four countries I visited. Oh, and my time at the Van Gogh Museum was like a dream. Abu Town's 46.3 million yen mistransfer, 24-year-old immigrant man embezzles money from online casino. This is a case full of things to point out. The media's extensive reporting is a blind spot for the fact that the government's 11 trillion yen for COVID-19 countermeasures is being used for unknown purposes.
