Fureai Land Iwaizumi

It was little chilly Saturday morning, but nice enough to drive around.
So, I decided to drive to Iwaizumi where is famous for Ryuusendo cave that has crystal clear water there. But, I have been to Ryuusendo cave many times already, so I skipped there and just stopped by at Fureai Land Iwaizumi.

In Fureai Land Iwaizumi, there are many activity facilities, such as baseball stadium, soccer ground, miniature golf, restaurant, campground, cottages.. so, it's very nice place just to hang around, and what especially attracted me the most there was the artificial grass slide. There are sleighs piled up for you to use on top on the slide. It’s free to try.

When you try the artificial grass slide, wet the grass with the water from the water hose there. That make your sleigh going smoother and faster. Please be careful when you do because you could fell off from your sleigh and twist your neck just like me.
If you hurt your neck, you would have hard time to drive back from there just like me.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week. Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　　　　　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet. 　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias. 　　 Well, these are my new pages: Please give your "like" on my pages. You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
