Hidden Prejudices
For the most part of my life, I've listened to one radio station; 2CH. It was my father's favourite station, and years after he's passed, it's my way of keeping close to him.

Didn't make any sense until I realised that there was a plane that had collided with something in the sky and was now falling. On it's way down, and I'm … Continue reading Ice creams in the sky
