Happy Health-Sports Day!

Today was a national holiday in Japan called...you guessed it...Health-Sports Day! Health-Sports day is held annually on the second Monday in October to commemorate the opening day of the 1964 Summer Olympics that were held in Tokyo. (incidentally, the Summer Olympics were held unusually late that year to avoid the Japanese rainy season) Many businesses and schools hold competitions, activities, and health screenings to promote physical and mental well-being. Thought you might like to know!
