It’s Friday, late afternoon. Time to shut down the computer and join my friends for the weekly evening protest.
For the past few months I’ve been attending the Friday demonstrations in front of the Prime Minister’s official residence. Also known as the Ajisai (Hydrangea) movement, we're protesting against both the restarting of the Oi Nuclear Plant, and nuclear energy in general. A newbie no more, I now have the routine firmly under my belt.
