Starting today, White Horse's summer aurora viewing tour begins.
White Horse is a popular Aurora viewing destination in the Yukon Territory, northern Canada. Summer viewing is not too severe, so it is recommended for people who are not good at cold weather.
At the moment, due to immigration restrictions, customers from Japan are not yet able to come, so it is limited to participation by residents in Canada, but since the season of Aurora continues until April, customers from Japan also come as soon as possible. I would like you to see the wonderful aurora.
The flower of summer is a large sunflower. The Sunflower Festival is held in Chilliwack and Langley outside Vancouver. The period is until the beginning of September. You can enjoy sunflowers in full bloom on the vast site. In addition to sunflowers, there are venues where you can see the flower fields of Dariya, where the large flowers are gorgeous, and the hop flowers that are indispensable to the bitterness of beer. The sunflowers that grow straight will give you a boost as your mood drops in the corona.
A number of view spots in New York City.
This time, we will introduce Long Island City (Queens Ward), which can be accessed by subway and is easily accessible from the station!
Although it is not so popular as a tourist spot, this area has been rapidly gaining popularity as a residential area that has undergone redevelopment in recent years. Known as LIC (Long Island City), the boardwalk, which offers a superb view of the buildings of Manhattan and Midtown on the opposite bank, is a recommended view spot.
The boardwalk along the river is connected to a city park called Hunters Point South Park, and you can enjoy various things such as benches, playground equipment and a small beach (populated sandy beach).
At present, outdoor leisure is a must, and many people enjoy their own way even in hot weather. People who lie on the bench and rest, people who jog, people who play beach volleyball, etc.
Meanwhile, the blue sky gym in the field? Discover what is!
It seems that the people who have been training in the gym are gathering because the indoor gym is closed. Dumbbells, squats, kickboxing, push-ups... I found a New Yorker who was able to move physically according to the instructor's instructions. The sunlight is strong and the weather is hot on a midsummer day... It was hot, but it may be a luxury in a sense, outdoor training with a view of Manhattan! ?
Why not visit as a leisure spot during the day as well as a view spot after morning and evening.
The nearest station is "Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue Station" on Subway Line 7. About 6-7 minutes walk from the station to Hunters Point South Park.
There is also a NYC ferry ($2,75-) stop along the boardwalk. It takes time to travel between Queens and Brooklyn if you use the subway, but if you use a ferry, you can enjoy time and effort, as well as the feeling of sightseeing. You can enjoy the movement of the East River while cutting the wind on board.
To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, non-medical masks are required for aircraft departing and arriving in Canada from mid-April. Passengers who cannot wear a mask due to an underlying illness have only been able to board by oral declaration until now, but in the future, it will be mandatory to present an official medical certificate from a doctor.
Last month, I went to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
There are several routes from Las Vegas, but it is approximately one and a half hours by car.
Due to the influence of corona, the park is vacant compared to the usual summer vacation, and although it is a sightseeing outside, many people wear masks.
Most of the cars we visit for sightseeing are in Utah, and the neighboring state of Nevada in Las Vegas.
It was a license plate in the southwest, such as Arizona and California, which are relatively close.
Various measures were taken everywhere in the park, such as signboards to prevent the spread of corona infection, closing of toilets and facilities.
Vancouver's Farmers Market celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. In the summer of 1995, a small blue-sky market opened in the parking lot of the Croatian Cultural Center. Today, more than 270 shopkeepers sell fresh vegetables and fruits at six locations in the city.
I was worried about the event due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but it is being held this year as well, limiting the number of people who can enter once. In addition, we have started new online sales, and it is now possible to deliver products purchased online in advance and receive them collectively in each market. This is helpful because you can definitely get items that are sold out if you don't go first in the morning.
It's a pity that we don't sell goods such as crafts because of the measures against corona, but it's still fun to buy farmers' markets directly from the producers.
[Current State of New York City/Subway]
The New York City subway is known for its 24-hour operation. The number of passengers decreased sharply from the latter half of March (after the announcement of NY on Pause/home waiting order), but from the beginning of June, the number of customers gradually returned.
Although the vehicle is being disinfected and cleaned, what is the actual situation? ? I'm sure some of you will be interested.
In response to this pandemic, the MTA operating and operating the subway is currently promoting the "13 Point Plan" as a plan to protect the safety of passengers and employees.
MTA "13 point plan"

Part of the content;
●Providing masks (basically, each passenger must have Face Covering)
●Installation of hand sanitizer in the station yard ●Increasing contactless (OMNY) ticket payment system ●Stopping daily 1:00AM-5:00AM, disinfecting and cleaning the vehicle, continuing…etc.
What you actually saw and felt was...
◆ There is a social distance mark on the platform ◆ The number of passengers getting on and off is less than half of the usual number, and it is not in a situation where other people are sitting next to the sitting person ◆ There is a hand sanitizer inside the station Installed ◆Before the ticket gate, there is a sign that "Face Covering is required"
Looking at the stations and cars that were once crowded on the same day and time, it seems that few people are required to move by subway at this time.
Basic precautions when riding... Face Covering, frequent hand washing and disinfection, social distance... Don't forget the etc!
In Vancouver, British Columbia, mountain resort Whistler and the wine region Okanagan are extremely popular and very crowded for state travel.
I still want to go somewhere! For those who think that Sun Peaks Resort is still affordable. This mountain resort near Kamloops is especially recommended for those who like hiking. Marked with a cute 💚 on the grass to secure interpersonal distance.
The city of Jasper, Alberta, located in the northern part of the Canadian Rockies, has made it mandatory to wear a mask on the same day as a new coronavirus infection prevention measure. It is mandatory not only in shops and indoors of public facilities, but also in places where the interpersonal distance cannot be kept more than 2 meters, such as downtown sidewalks and outdoor public spaces.
In addition, public transport Translink in Metro Vancouver, including Vancouver in British Columbia, will be required to wear a mask on all routes from August 24. It has been recommended so far, but the number of users has increased with the restart of economic activities, and it has become impossible to maintain interpersonal distance. It is also necessary to avoid troubles in a crowded car. We do not require children under 5 years of age, people with underlying illnesses or disabilities to wear a mask. Cards certifying that masks are exempted can be picked up at the Compass Customer Service Centers at Stadium Chinatown Station and Waterfront Station.
Transport Canada has begun measuring passenger temperature on domestic flights departing from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. You will not be able to board if a fever of 38°C or higher is confirmed twice in front of the baggage inspection area. Boarding will be permitted after 2 weeks, but passengers will be responsible for changes and other costs.
On August 5, our guide went to Grand Canyon National Park.
Normally, the booth at the entrance of the park pays the entrance fee to the attendant (ranger), but in order to reduce contact as much as possible, payment of the entrance fee is limited to vending machines near the booth. I heard that
In addition, in some parts of Arizona, it is now mandatory to wear masks outside and in public places to prevent the spread of infection, and the grounds of Grand Canyon National Park are also within that range.
However, maybe some people do not know the news, and according to the guide, about 60% of people were wearing masks for sightseeing.
The photo is Mercer point. Enjoy the same grandeur!
In Canada, the new semester begins in September.
The federal government of Canada does not have an administrative agency like the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that unifies education at the national level. The Ministry of Education of each provincial government creates its own curriculum that reflects the characteristics and cultural background of the region. The number of years of compulsory education and the grade divisions for elementary, junior high, and high schools also differ from state to state, and the discretion and authority of the school principal are characteristic. The following is the correspondence of each state announced.
In Ontario, kindergarten-8th grade students go to school normally from September, but high school 9th-12th grade students have to switch school days and home days by 15 people. 4th-12th grade students must wear non-medical masks at school. Teachers will be provided with a face shield and medical mask.
Edmonton, Alberta's Board of Education requires elementary and junior high and high school 4th-12th grades and faculty to wear masks on campus. Distance learning is possible if parents and children wish. The cafeteria is operated with individually wrapped food, and the vending machine cannot be used because it is often touched.
British Columbia announced the reopening of the school in a five-step framework depending on the spread of the new coronavirus. At the time of infection, all elementary, junior high and high schools will be temporarily closed for remote learning only in stage 5. Beginning in September, the school will restart on Stage 2, and it is recommended that students and faculty members wear masks.
