[Seasonal Life Tips / Pay attention to typhoon information]

Typhoons hit Japan quite often between July and September.
When a typhoon strikes, weather conditions change rapidly.
On such occasions, heavy rain and strong winds can be dangerous.
When a strong typhoon approaches Japan, most TV channels regularly broadcast typhoon information.
It’s important to pay attention to this information.

[Ask a Foreigner: What I like about Nara living / PTA activities -2-]

I am a second-generation Japanese from Brazil.
In the previous issue, I talked about my experience as a PTA committee member.
Since becoming a PTA committee member, I have had the opportunity to see how children interact in their lives at school, something I would not have been able to do otherwise.
As a result, I think I have come to understand my son better.
Also, as part of being a PTA committee member, when you assist in PTA activities, you end up learning a lot from other members.
Eventually, you can gain enough knowledge and experience to be able to give advice to younger parents.
All in all, I think this is a very important experience for parents while bringing up their children.
I am happy with all I have done so far, and feel it has been very worthwhile.
