Clean up day
Every second Sunday of the month is a clean up day here in the apt complex. If you don't show up a fine of 1000 yen is meted out. Aside from saving the amt, it's a time to mingle and get to know your neighbors and show one's cooperation. If it rains or snow hard then it's cancelled. Yesterday was just one of those days. Each group is assigned different areas every month and I chose to start on a stretch with tall grass. Alas, I never saw beforehand that there were 3 small dog poos one after another. I'm a dog lover and I understand that there are some people who need companionship in any form yet aren't responsible enough. In this housing, there's a big board saying pets aren't allowed. Yet some do have. I believe in live and let live but it's just a nuisance since I happened to touch the first one as it was hidden in the grass. I was wearing a gloves but I still I felt awful then.
