Message from the Editor

Dear readers of e-Ibaraki Report,

The swine flu has made its entry in Japan a couple of months ago. As a consequence, it is recommended to pay even more attention to your hygiene. You probably arlready noticed in toilets a variety of signs explaining how to how wash your hands effectively. Follow these instructions and do not forget to use soap ;)

Well, the flu is scaring a lot of people out there but I suggest you make the most of every day and responsibly. Influenza is nothing knew so let's just be prepared to avoid it. As we enter July, we are getting nice excuses to change our mind. Why not enjoy the beautiful nature of Ibaraki this weekend ?
