Thank you very much everybody who were in the show last night.
That was fun to hear the interesting stories from the radio members.
 
The topic was 100 yen store, and Ben chan mentioned the wrapping papers that he bought to wrap the rice cooker that he purchased for Toby's birthday.  Since Japanese wrapping papers in 100 yen shop is very short, he had to use many of them to wrap just one box.
I don't know how many wrapping papers he had to use, but he sounded like he did some patchworks.
 
Like in the US, they have 1 dollar store, they have 1 pound store in the UK.
According to James from London, they don't have much variety things compare to Japan.
Also 1 pound is 180 yen, so it's little expensive there, he said.
When James was telling about the 1 pound store in UK, some girl students, who James is teaching, were passing in front of the radio station; and they got very excited to see James; they were jumping up and down and waving to him so hard.
Yonae chan and everybody there were curious what he is doing in his class *LOL*
 
And Yonae chan was wearing the pretty scarf from 100 yen store the night.
I think she is a smart shopper who knows what to buy at 100 yen store
She said she also had bought the first aid kit, such as bandages, for Toby as well;
It's because her apartment is a dangerous place, according to Toby.
We could not get to the story of what had happened at her place.
 
Togo san did a great job for the translation as always.
When Toby and James were showing their same coin purses from the 100 yen store, Togo san took out his coin purse that cost about 1,000 yen like *BOSS.*
Hey, if I buy one of that, then I don't have any coins to put in. *LOL*  
It was very fun, but too bad we missed Theresa, the queen of 100 yen shop (according to Yonae chan.)
Maybe next time.
 
Thanks everybody there again and hopefully I see you there next week too!

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.      

The Coffee Vending Machine

   When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little.  It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there.  I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes.   

Hospital Day (6)

I was about to get back to my work, then the English teacher company called me again said "hey, Ito.  You have time?  We got the English teacher who need to go to the hospital."  I was like      I thought they were joking.   But neither they were joking nor I was in the movie.  So, this time, I was taking the male English teacher to the hospital.  He got black toe nail and other finger nails were turning into black color too, but he did not remember he hit anything with his toe or his shoes had been too tight.   The doctor was examining his toes, however, he could not find what had caused his toe nails turned into black color.    So, the doctor took the nail file and started filing English teacher's toe nail.   Guess what?  The color just came off!!    He did not have to take any medicine, but he had to pay for the examining  That cost him about 2,500 yen.   ...
