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.      

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html     When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say       *LOL*

Portals in Miyako (1)

By playing INGRESS, the smartphone game, sometime it takes me to the places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc. where I have never been or seen even in Miyako, my hometown.      I have been taking some pictures of those portals, so I would like to introduce them briefly with map link.  Some of them are not registered as the portals yet, but I had sent the request to INGRESS when I took the pictures. 1. Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park) [Portal Requesting Now] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP This park had opened in June 4th in 1993. You can walk not only behind the water fall, but also in the water with bear foot. So, it's nice place to "chill out" literally. 2. Suijin-hi (Stele of the Water God) [Portal] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP Next to the Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park,) there is Miyako Water Line Management Office.  When this Office opened, they made this stele.   In front of this stele, it says Suijin-h
