In Japan, drivers aged 70 and above are encouraged to display the Kลreisha mark (้ซ้ฝข่
ใใผใฏ), also known as the "aged driver sign," on their vehicles.
This symbol serves as a courteous reminder for other motorists to provide additional time and space, acknowledging the driver's senior status. While displaying the Kลreisha mark is voluntary for those aged 70 to 74, it becomes mandatory at 75.

Fresh snow makes everything quieter by absorbing sound.
The air trapped between snowflakes reduces vibrations, which is why it feels so peaceful when it snows.

Before alarm clocks existed, people used nails attached to candles to ensure they woke up on time.
They knew how to calculate the burning time and placed the nail in the right position. When the candle melted, the nail would fall, make a noise, and wake its owner.
