September 16th, 2015 Miyako International Community Radio via Miyako Harbor Radio 82.6 FM [LIVE]


Navigator: Eri Ito
Guest: Daniel Gilbert
Members: Adam Ramli
Interpreter: Togo Sasaki


Thank you very much for the great show, folks.
And welcome to Miyako, Daniel san who is the friend of Eri san.

I could not meet him because I did not make it to the show, so all interpretation was done by Togo san.  He did a great job as always.
But still I wanted to be the part of the show, I emailed them at the show; yet, they did not have enough time to read my message.

What I sent them was asking Eri san to say "Hotta imo ijikuruna" to the members and/or the guest if they can understand.   "Hotta imo ijikuruna" means "Don't play with the potatoes you dug up"in Japanese, but it sounds like the English phrase "what time is it now?"
It's like the English phrase "Don't touch my mustache" sounds like the Japanese phrase "Dou itashimashite"which means "you are welcome."
Well, I will try "Hotta imo ijikuruna" some other time.

In the show, Daniel san mentioned trying jellyfish salad, so I want to know how it was too.
Anyway, thank you very much for the fun show, and I will see you next week for sure ;)

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.

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.
