It's been a week since I came to the UK. I've had two doses of the Pfizer vaccine in Japan. However, it didn't take long for me to be infected with Coronavirus. The number of people who have tasted positive for Coronavirus was increasing everyday, so the city must has been full of the virus. I was surprised that I could get infected so quickly when I spent my days feeling the same as in Japan.

On the day I was infected, my health did not change. The next day, there was no in my taste buds at all as well. On the third day, my throat started to feel bad, and my voice became hoarse. At the same time, I thought I had caught a cold due to the change of environment. I thought it was just a cold. On the fourth day, I started to have difficulty speaking. I had a fever, laziness, headache and cough. I spent the whole day in bed. On the fifth day, symptoms worsened. On the sixth to tenth day, the symptoms decreased, and the test results turned negative on the tenth day. I didn't have to go to the hospital, and I didn't have to stay in bed all day. It was no different from the symptoms of a cold, so I never suspected I got corona on my own. So if you think you have a cough or cold, please take a corona test straight away.

Isolated in a hotel for Christmas. I've had a poor appetite since I came to England. But I am feeling much better now, and my appetite is slowly coming back :) I tried many kinds of food in my room, Indian, Chinese and Greek food. All the food was delicious :) There was nothing special about Christmas this year. But it was a good chance to read books and think about many things. I had a good time :) Honestly, I thought I wish I could have spent Christmas in Japan and had good Japanese food. But then I thought about it. "I just want to be healthy and have a normal Christmas." "What if I could buy what I want when I want it. What if I could eat delicious food when I want..." I thought I wished I had the power to live every day like Christmas. 

The Christmas season in London is spectacular! The lights everywhere are so beautiful... Here is a photo on the top taken at Hay Galleria near Tower Bridge. It's a sight to behold... I will share more Christmasy photos more!
