Happy New Year. I apologize for starting the year with a review of 7-11 registration. I had planned to post more reviews in the "Other" category on Kyoto Review, but unfortunately, I fell ill during a trip to Kyoto. I arrived in Kyoto feeling unwell and spent New Year's Day mostly in bed. My family also fell ill, so we spent the day resting. Despite the setbacks, I watched the New Year Ekiden race on TV and ordered some fried rice from a restaurant called "Sumire." I hope for a better year ahead.
