Fine?

[how do you explain what living in your own time period is like.]

I grew up in a traditional village far away from the capital, so it was pretty boring. Most men were fishermen, cultivating rice paddies, or rebuilding houses, and we went to the shrines a lot for events or festivals.

Westernization was much more prominent in the capital. Stronger buildings, paved roads, movie theaters and cafes, but certainly not electric lights and appliances like people have here. Though you have to deal with the eyesore of soldiers on every other corner, or in every cabin on the streetcar. It was 1922 before I ended up here.
