Sightseeing in Tokyo

One of my friends, Spencer san, asked me where to visit in Tokyo for his friends.
So, I made little sightseeing map that has the major sightseeing places in Tokyo; I would like to share it here as well.  Hope this helps you when you visit Tokyo too.

The biggest landmarks in Tokyo are Tokyo Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower.
It costs some money to go up those towers; so if you would like to save money to see the view, Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building where you can see the entire Tokyo city for free should be one of your choice.
   
There are zoos, amusement parks, aquariums, just like other big cities.
If you would like to see Japanese traditional places, some shinto shrines are recommended.
   
November sumo game has just started, so if you are interested in sumo, you can visit Ryogoku kokugikan to see the sumo game as well.
 
If you love geeky electric gadgets, Akihabara is the place.
Nakamise street and Tokyo Mid town are good for shopping and window shopping too.
    
But if you want to see as many places as you can in Tokyo, Hato Bus tour comes in handy.
They offer you the full day tour, half day tour, and even the night one, so you can pick whatever suit for your schedule.  You can do the half day tour and visit where you like after the tour by yourself too.

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.
