The topic was about the cutter boat race at Miyako bay in the last weekend.
For the race, those ALTs were bit late on purpose (according to Simon san) to make them appeared like

There were 4 Ojii-chans (grandpas) rode with them on the same boat because they needed more team members and also an experienced leader who control the boat. I know some Ojii-chans who sail the boat in Miyako, but since they remembered them as Ojii-chans as Ojii-chan No.1, Ojii-chan No.2, No.3 and No.4, I could not figure who they were *LOL*

So, I imagined them like:

They had two races, and the first race was the very first time for them to sail the same boat together because all team members had been practicing in the different time. As the result, they ended up in the 4th place out of 4 boats. Well.

Before the 2nd race started, ALTs and Togo san went to McDonald's to eat to get some "American boost," Simon san was enjoying his coffee for his English boost, and those Ojii-chans were smoking their cigarettes for their Japanese boost. Well.

The ALTs were almost late again to the 2nd race, but they made back on time to the bay like:

They did better than the first race, but in the middle of the 2nd race, one of Ojii-chans had lost his oar.

However, they came to the 3rd place even they had one Ojii-chan lost his oar!!

Very good work, members!!

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?

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*

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.
