Walking in the Mountain Breeze

"In summer the nights. Not only when the moon shines, but on dark nights too, as the fireflies flit to and fro, and even when it rains, how beautiful it is!"

As the Pillow Book written by Sei Shonagon says, the evening/night time is gorgeous in summer time in Japan. The fireflies are excellent, but also taking a walk on the path in between the rice fields in the cool air with the mountain breeze is also great after the summer heat in Hanawa, Miyako. That was my last Sunday evening.

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.

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.
