Today I heard an interesting story from my friend.
This morning a middle-aged foreign doctor was surprised when he was waiting for a bus in Kyoto. At what?----------Noisy sound.
He asked to my friend, "What noise?"
At first she couldn't understand what he meant.

He asked again, "What insects are making such a big noise?"
Then she got it. " CICADA!"
It might be his first time to hear cicada buzzing in his life. Probably he lives somewhere where there are no cicadas.
Cicada represents summer in Japan. But I realized that each country has its own seasonal view. Japanese people have been proud of four distinct seasons and emphasized the change of the seasons. I think this is Japan's wonderful point of view.
Probably he come from northern part of Europe or Canada. It's just my guess.

It is propable that cicadas in Japan buzz noisier than anywhere els.
