फ्लाईट चेन्ज करने का रीक्वेस्ट डाल दो अभी :smiley:

मेरी कन्फर्म टिकट आ चुकी थी। फ्लाइट चेंज करने के लिए बात की थी तो पता चला 79 डॉलर देने होंगे क्योंकि ये चेंज जिसने बुक किया है उसी के द्वारा होगी।

@SharmaKK
Thanks for introducing me to a great event.
I am from Japan so I will not be able to attend.

I hope it will be a great event.

This is an essential item for summer in Japan: the uchiwa fan.
The upper one is made of bamboo.

The one below is made of plastic.

Plastic is sturdy. It will not break in the slightest.

The one made of bamboo is characterized by a gentle breeze.
It also weighs less than the plastic one.

I introduced this item because I thought it would be nice to have such an item in India, as the climate is probably hot there.

Thank you @yamamo_cchi for sharing this, and for introducing the uchiwa fan to us! :blush:
Both the bamboo and plastic versions look beautiful, but I especially like the charm and eco-friendliness of the bamboo one. :herb:
You’re right — it would be a wonderful item to have in India, especially during the hot summer months.
I really appreciate you bringing a piece of Japanese culture into this discussion.
