Okay, so I would like to tell you about a time when the Electric City went off in my neighborhood. It was two weeks ago on Sunday morning when I was sleeping with my doctor. At around 6 a.m. the electricity certainly went off. When the air conditioner stopped working, I realized that there was an electricity outage in my neighborhood. Instead of staying at home, I decided to take my doctor to my parents home so that we can enjoy the time together. Because you know that I didn’t really want to stay at home along with my doctor. Because when there was no electric devices on, she might get bored. That’s why I took her to my parents home so that there would be more people to enjoy the music and time together. Finally, the electricity came back in the evening. I don’t remember exactly the time but it was quite dark before the electricity came back so we used the candles to shut the lights on. And overall I don’t think it is a very bad experience although some of my work had been delayed and our daily routine was also disrupted. but I have more chance to enjoy the quality time with other family members and have the screen time limited. So I think it’s a good experience of having my living space slow down a little bit.

Okay, so I would like to tell you about a time when the electricity went off in my neighborhood. It was two weeks ago on Sunday morning when I was sleeping with my daughter. At around 6 a.m., the electricity suddenly went off. When the air conditioner stopped working, I realized that there was an electricity outage in my neighborhood. Instead of staying at home, I decided to take my daughter to my parents' home so that we could enjoy the time together. Because you know that I didn't really want to stay at home with my daughter. When there were no electric devices on, she might get bored. That's why I took her to my parents' home so that there would be more people to enjoy the music and time together. Finally, the electricity came back in the evening. I don't remember exactly the time, but it was quite dark before the electricity came back, so we used candles to light up the room. Overall, I don't think it was a very bad experience, although some of my work had been delayed and our daily routine was also disrupted. But I had more chances to enjoy quality time with family members and have limited screen time. So I think it was a good experience to have my living space slow down a little bit.
