A treasure of Sado

The Japanese drumming group called Kodo based on Sado island.
I feel proud to have them here.
They rock.

happy night

When I was riding my bike on the way back from capoeira, the bike chain came off.
It was late at night and too dark to fix it. So I was walking on the street with my bike.
A driver of one of the cars passed by saw me and asked me if I was ok. I was going to fix it after getting home so I said ok and kept on going.
Soon after that another motorbike rider stopped by, saw my bike chain, put the motorbike light at the bike and fixed it for me and left.
It was very nice of them. It made me real happy and hopeful about people.
