Oshogatsu②

Yesterday, my parents and I went to Akasaka to visit Hie Shrine. It was so crowded that we had to wait our turn to stand before the altar. Then, I consulted an oracle which meant fairly good fortune. On our way back home, I saw a bunch of people waiting for runners joining Hakone Ekiden to pass through the street. Fortunately, we happened to see a runner in light blue passing by the street while our car was stopping at the red light. However, it was little far from my sight, so I couldn’t see which university the runner was belonged to. As far as I know, AGU was supposed to have joined the race for the first time in 33 years… No matter what the result was, just to participate in such a big event is honorable.
