after the rain

Many people grew bitter gourds this summer(and the last summer) in Japan. You know why? They are easy and fast to grow, and when those *green curtains* cover the windows, it helps us to use less electricity for air-conditioning. We have survived, and will manage the future summers without those horrible nuclear power plants.
