1． コロナ禍の中、息子さんの大学入学後の住むところを探して毎日のように、京都・大阪間を電車やバスで行き来していた。その時、毎日マスクを購入するために近所のコンビ
ニに朝の 5 時から並んだりした。その後、マスクはオンラインでの購入に切り替えた。
2． 「stay home」と政府が言い出してからは、大学の講義がオンラインになり、大学に行かなくてよくなった。しかし、それぞれの大学により、オンラインのシステムが違うので、その方法を理解するまで 1 ヶ月ほど時間がかかった。
学生の側もコンピューターを持たない学生は、携帯でやりとりし、文字が小さすぎるな
どいろいろな問題があった。
3． 夫も家でのテレワークになり、自宅は、オフィスであり、教室になった。息子も自宅で大学の授業をオンラインで受けはじめるようになった。
4． インドネシア出身の京都近辺に在住の方達のコロナ禍での生活が気がかりだった。やはり言葉にも不自由しているインドネシア人のコミュ二ティ住民も多く、コロナにかかった場合の医療機関への心配もおこっていた。私は、そのケースごとにちがいがあることを説明すると、皆、おちついて来たようだ。
5． 数ヶ月間、必要な洗浄やマスクをつけ、注意をはらってすごしてきた。マスクをすることで、人にもうつさず、また、うつらないように気をつけている。今も見えない敵としてのコロナと共存しようと試みている。

How corona affects our daily lifeA new type of corona virus that emerged in November in China, finally spreadthroughout the world around March 2020. Only on January 30th WHO announced
1

the condition of the corona outbreak in China. Then on March 11th WHO
announced that Corona was a pandemic. the most shocking news for all ofus. More than that when the government issued an emergency warning to limit
community activities.
Along with the outbreak of the corona virus is the end of the semester inuniversities and high schools. I was preoccupied with making syllabus
activities and preparing to go to university for my son. Almost every day,I travel Kyoto - Osaka to find a place to live for my child and prepare
all his needs. Anxious every time we ride public transportation, especiallyelectric trains. We don't forget to always wear a mask and bring alcoholic
wet tissue that I use every time I travel.
Day by day the situation of the spread of corona increasingly spread withthe death toll. This increased our anxiety as a family mainly due to theneed to wear masks when leaving the house, while there was a scarcity ofmasks on the market. To get a mask we were forced to get up at 5 am andgo to the nearest convenience store to buy masks that were only available
in limited quantities. And even then, only available 3 times a week, namely
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
It caused me enough stress that it made me to only think about corona andcause fatigue even I did not do anything. Finally, we decided to buy a mask
via online even though the price is very expensive. I feel calm after getting
masks in sufficient quantities for daily needs if I have to go to campusagain.
However, the situation changed completely after the announcement of anemergency from the Japanese government. "We have to stay at home". Resulting
in teaching and learning activities at the university turned into a distancelearning system with online. I don't need to be on campus to teach. Teachingactivities carried out from home. Of course, this cannot be done immediately.
Not all lecturers have knowledge of the use of information technology
devices needed in conducting online lectures.
As an extraordinary lecturer at various universities, I have to follow theprocedures set by each university in conducting online lectures. This makes
it difficult for me because I have to learn various online systems, suchas teams, web classes and zoom. It takes time to prepare lecture material
in the information technology device. Therefore, the beginning of thespring semester this year suffered a setback for more than one month.

After undergoing online lectures for one month, the positive and negative
aspects of online lectures can be felt both in terms of teachers, students
and parents of students.
From the point of view of being a teacher, the positive aspect of online
lectures is the saving of travel time from home to campus. In addition,
it gets knowledge in the use of information technology. As for the negativeside, because of the limited ability of the online system that is used which
can only be audio without visual, causing the lecturer to not be able tosee the condition of the student, so sometimes the lecturer orders are notimplemented.
From the student's side ((observations of my son) due to the use of Web
Class at his university, most lecturers only send lecture material and giveassignments to make papers or other assignments as proof that students
attend lectures. This makes students lazy to be ready when the lecture hours
are started. Sometimes there are lecturers who forget not to send lecturematerial during meeting hours without a message, even the lecturer cannot
be contacted at that time. In addition, there are some students who do nothave a computer so they only use mobile phones, so the letters that appear
are too small, as a result students experience eyestrain.
Changes occur not only in the world of Education, but also in the worldof business and other corporate activities. The impact was that my husband
was ordered to work from home. Now our house is transformed into an officeand classroom. I teach in the dining room; my husband holds a meeting inanother room and my son studies online in his room.
In addition, I want to convey how foreigners deal with pandemic conditions
here, especially Indonesian citizens who live in Kyoto and beyond. Due tothe limited ability of the Japanese language, so there is a lack of accurate
information about how to handle corona patient cases. Most of them get news
from the internet in or from SNS whose truth is uncertain. Finally, on May
15, 2020 I was asked by the student community and the Indonesian community
in Kyoto and Shiga to convey about how to respond to this pandemic andinformation about what steps need to be taken in case of a corona casebetween us, also about the Japanese government's emergency warning.
On that occasion I appealed to them to abide by the protocol recommended
by the Japanese government. In addition, there were some people fromcommunity members worried about the health team's services to casus corona

foreign nationals. For this reason, I explained that there is nodiscrimination in service whether foreigners or Japanese citizens. Case
handling is based on the condition of the case so there are differencesin the handling. After that they can understand and feel calmer in the faceof corona.
After months we go about our daily lives by increasingly paying attention
to cleanliness, not forgetting to wash our hands with soap, carry handsanitizers everywhere and don't forget to wear masks. I feel like wearing
this mask has become a consensus in the community to show that we are awareof neither spreading nor accepting corona. Now we are trying to live side
by side with Corona as an invisible enemy, but there is.
