New Ingress Portal and Japanese Language

The new portals of Ingress are appearing all over Miyako now.
I believe those portal requests have been accepted by Ingress, and those, who took the pictures of them and sent Ingress the request, must be very happy to see their new portals in town.

I am one of them who is happy to see my new portal too.
I have sent them like 7, 8 or even more portal requests; I see 2 of them are accepted so far.
One of them is the post office in Toyomane, Shimoheigun, little farther out from southern Miyako.

You can see my handle name, DualWeildRed, credited under the picture in the green letters.

The other portal is Shiroyama Shinto Shrine Main Hall.

Just one half second before I submit this request, I found the mistake, but I clicked "submit" without rethinking.

I named it "白山神社本堂　(Shiroyama Jinja Hondo, Shiroyama Shinto Shrine Main Hall)" but "Hondo (Main Hall)" is used for Buddhism temple.

For Main Hall for Shintoism, it's called "本殿, Honden" not "本堂, Hondo."

So, I was hoping that one of the Japanese staffs of Ingress notice to that mistake and corrected it, but it came out as I requested.

BUT, Someone took my portal by submitting the new picture of the shrine from the different angle.

OK, claim it's yours and that mistake is also yours too *LOL*

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?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

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.

At a theater

While I was watching the play at the theater, I suddenly said 　　　 then, I woke up. Yes, I was talking in my sleep. The person who was sitting next me was surprised and looking at me. So, I said her Then, I went back to sleep.
