August 24th, 2016 Miyako International Community Radio via Miyako Harbor Radio 82.6 FM [LIVE]

Producer: Hisao Hashimoto

Assistant Producer: Takahiro Akanuma

Navigator: Hisako Yamaguchi

Guests: Mr. Matsu'ura, Ms. Komukai (Miyako International Association)

The topic for this show was about Miyako International Associations that had established recently. Because they were all Japanese, they did not need the interpreters, so neither Togo-san nor I was there.

But, I joined the show via email by asking Miyako International Associations some questions.

Those questions and answers were as below:

Q1: Do you have a phone number or email address that foreigners can reach directly to English speaker there in the office?
A1: Phone number is: 0193-62-3534 (Weekday) (after September 1st)

Q2: If somebody show up to the Miyako International Associations office saying "I have a stomachache. I'd like to see a doctor, but I cannot speak Japanese," will you support him/her?
A2: If s/he come to the office or give us a phone call, we can hook them up to the proper international organizations or associates who can support them.

Q3: How about for their other troubles/problems, would you give them some helps?
A3: They can come to the office or call us for the helps.

Q4: Do you give support to the foreigners who are not living in Miyako, but just visiting?
A4: Yes. And the office is attached to the sight seeing department of the city office, so we can provide them sight seeing information as well.

Q5: How do you inform the foreigners in Miyako events and/or evacuation information?
A5: We are making website and facebook page right now. So, we can provide them those information there.

I hope it won't be like this though:

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.

The Coffee Vending Machine

When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little. It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there. I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes. 　　

Miyako Autumn Festival 2016

For Miyako Autumn Festival 2016, Adam and Patricia were practicing taiko drum to participate to the Yamaguchi Taiko Drum demonstration. When I was watching their demonstration, I could find Patricia, but Adam. I was looking around for him so hard, but I could not find him at all. I thought he might be feeling sick and he could not make it. BUT, later, I found that he was on the other side of the mikoshi shrine. That was shame that I could not capture his taiko drum playing in the video. When I was browsing around, I saw one of my classmate from my junior high school. She was about to play one of the games, kan-otoshi, there. The rule of kan-otoshi game is that you throw a bag full of sands to the cans to knock them down. Then, you get prize according to how many cans you knock down. More cans you knock, bigger prize you get. Classmate: Hey, what if I make all of them fallen dow...
