Due to the stable climate and high clear sky in September in Canada, it is suitable for aurora viewing.
The appeal of summer aurora viewing is that in the case of aurora viewing on the lakeside, the aurora reflects on the lakeside and "double aurora" can be seen. Due to the freezing of the lake in winter, this double aurora is the only way to enjoy the summer season.

<Music is back in New York! >
In New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island), restaurants and bars have not yet been allowed "in-store dining", and eat out at table seats on the sidewalks and driveways outside the store. enjoying.
This style, called outdoor dining, seems to last until October 31st.

Live music is back there recently!

New York, the world's entertainment hub and a city that never sleeps, has been pretty much canceled since March, which is pretty good news.

Speaking of New York, jazz.
In this way, it may be only now that you can enjoy the wonderful performance of musicians at the store.

There is no doubt that music cheers New Yorkers and heals their hearts.
NEW YORK TOUGH.

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!

It will be 3 consecutive holidays this weekend because it is a public holiday on Monday, 9/07 (Monday).
For those who want to go a little further in British Columbia, the "Sea to Sky Gondola" is recommended!
About an hour's drive north of Vancouver, you'll follow the beautiful coast-to-sky Seatosky Highway.
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.
At the top of the mountain, children and adults can enjoy the suspension bridge and the trail (promenade) to the scenic observatory.
As a countermeasure against coronaviruses, the gondola will thoroughly ride on a group basis such as family and friends, and people who do not know will not ride together.
Also, from tomorrow 9/04 (Friday), masks will be required in common areas such as suspension bridges and lodges.
However, it is not necessary on the trail if the interpersonal distance can be taken. Children under the age of 5 and those with physical disabilities who cannot wear a mask are exempt.

Hello.
NY Harlem 18 years old I'm a coordinator for the New York Harlem edition, and the special program is finally on air.

■Tuesday, September 1, 2020 19:30-20:59
NHK-BS Premium "World Fureai Street Walk Special! Music Town"

Focusing on "music" from the past broadcasting, carefully selecting about 6 popular cities,
It's a luxurious digest special program where you can travel the world in 90 minutes.

Most churches in New York are still closed, partly because the first infection in NY was a cluster of suburban churches.

But gospel is not a song,
It's prayer, our life.

Now, how do the people in Harlem face Gospel now?

The continuation is a program.

Even if restaurants are closed due to the new coronavirus or consumers eat less often, livestock growth cannot be stopped. As demand has fallen, perishables such as meat, raw eggs and milk are over-produced. Nowadays, duck, which is an ingredient of high-class restaurants, is sold at supermarkets at a lower price than chicken.
The Canadian Department of Agriculture will fund approximately 50 million Canadian dollars (about 4 billion yen) to fund social welfare organizations that provide food to people in need, such as food banks, and promote the purchase of surplus crops. This prevents dairymen from dumping milk into drains and farmers from discarding unsold vegetables.

A unique summer experience tour in Whitehorse, Yukon.
White horse known for its aurora viewing. Dog sledding tours run over frozen lakes and snow in winter, but dogs are not always resting in the summer.

Dog sledding cannot be used from summer to autumn due to the absence of snow, but we are conducting dog sledding training using ATV (all-terrain vehicle, four-wheel buggy) used as a small transport vehicle in the far north of Canada. In the "Summer Dog Sledding Training Experience Tour", you will actually participate in daily training. Let's ride a training car and run with dogs ♪

Due to the coronavirus this year, the number of participants is limited than usual, so early reservations are required.
