On Wednesday, September 2, a ceremony was held onboard the Missouri battleship on Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.
On September 2, 1945, the signing ceremony for the surrender document was held on the deck of the US battleship Missouri on Tokyo Bay, and Marshal Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, declared the end of the war. It has been 75 years since the Pacific War officially ended. The battleship Missouri, the historic ship where the signing ceremony was held, is now located on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor.
World War II veterans participated in the ceremony held at Pearl Harbor, but due to the effects of the new Corona, many survivors were unable to return to Pearl Harbor.
The ceremony, which was probably the last turning point for elderly survivors over 90 years old, was initially planned for large-scale events including parades, gala, and movie screenings, but the new coronavirus It was held by a small number of people while it was raging around the world. Participants were small, with only about 50 veterans living in Hawaii, the Governor of Hawaii, and military personnel.
On the night of Tuesday, September 1, three fireworks were launched in Pearl Harbor, symbolizing the war dead, future generations, and prayers for world peace.

Aloha! VELTRA I'm Ryoko from the Honolulu office staff. From this month, we will also participate in Kite. For those of you who miss Hawaii, I would like to update the information about Hawaii together.
Right now, Oahu is in the second lockdown, and there are limits to what you can do, but even in this situation, "food" is important, isn't it?
The other day, my friend recommended me to use the delivery of "Guava Smoked". Smoked meat with guava wood chips is irresistible. It can't go wrong with beer. Children cling to smoked ribs with bones ~ ❤
Following the first Kalihi store, the second Kapahulu store will open this year!
I think it's a short walk from Waikiki, so be sure to check it out the next time you come to Hawaii.
I was longing for... MET reopened!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (popular name: MET), which was closed on March 13, 2020, reopened on August 29th.
It was one of New York's leading museums, and a tourist spot in New York City, where tourists constantly come in every year. Last year, about 7 million people visited in 2019.
This year (2020) was the 150th anniversary of the opening of MET, but soon after 2020, the world was hit by this pandemic, and MET was closed.
It's been about 5 months since then... New York City has survived a number of crises, and the good news is that it is still carefully following the path of resumption!
The following guidelines were established for the resumption.
・Reservations are required for visitors in advance online.・A mask or Face-covering (covering the nose and mouth) is mandatory. ・Accommodation of 25% of visitors (approx.
・Visitors have a temperature measurement before entering the building ・When lining up outdoors, keep a social distance (a distance of about 2m from others) inside the building...etc.
In addition, hand sanitizers for disinfecting hands and fingers will be installed in various places in the building, and frequent sanitizing and cleaning will be performed in the building.
Even though the accommodation rate is 25%, it may not be crowded with tourists as it used to be, so it may be a great opportunity to relax and appreciate it! ?
It's a great pleasure to be able to see the museum in the coming autumn season.
The Cloisters Art Museum, the branch of MET, will reopen on September 12.
It is one step at a time, but New York City will surely make progress and resume ... Continue to Stay Strong!

The Hau Strait of the fjord landscape spreads out in front of you, and right next to the mountain, you can quickly reach the summit while gazing at the famous rock climbing site, Stawamas Chief.

If you continue your self-restraint, you will inevitably spend more time with your pet.
Hawaii is currently in the middle of its second lockdown.
It seems that the period is 2 weeks ~, but this time, I went to the beach with my dog on the day before the lockdown started. As a workplace and playground for me, this Diamond Head Beach hasn't changed before or even before Corona, so I'm relieved to come here. Then bathe in the sun with your dog and soak in the sea, walk barefoot on the sandy beach to boost your immunity! In order not to lose the corona life that continues.
Hafadai!

Infection control haircut!? The actual condition of haircut during the Philippines lockdown.
During the lockdown of Manila, which is said to be the longest in the world, I hadn't cut my hair for six months, and I was able to grow as much as I wanted.
This lockdown was repeated easing and tightening of quarantine measures, and when the easing was resumed, the business of barber-affiliated industries was restarted, but many Filipinos could not go to the barbershop, so congestion was required every day, social distance I wasn't there, so I was just watching.
It seems that he never went to the hair salon the other day.
Haircut 650 pesos (about 1,410 yen), plus social distance fee 250 pesos (about 540 yen).
The total is 900 pesos (about 1,950 yen).
It also includes the cost of buying my own protective clothing. (You can take it home after you finish)
Body temperature inspection and strict disinfection when entering the store. All staff wear protective clothing and face masks and face shields. I also wore a mask during the haircut.
Hair salons are also under strict infection control.
The Central Market, which had been closed due to renovations since June, has been reopened since September 1.
There is no major change in appearance and interior, but we have restarted the measures against corona completely!
