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 down? How big the prizes are? 
Me: (from her back) It's not that easy, my friend.  
Classmate:  Oh, hi!  So, did you try this already? 
Me: (showed her hands full of the little toys.)   
Classmate: Oh.
 
No wonder all good looking toys are staying there to attract the customers like me.
(I should have learnt this by now after being at many different festivals.)

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.

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*

Portals in Miyako (1)

By playing INGRESS, the smartphone game, sometime it takes me to the places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc. where I have never been or seen even in Miyako, my hometown.    　 I have been taking some pictures of those portals, so I would like to introduce them briefly with map link.  Some of them are not registered as the portals yet, but I had sent the request to INGRESS when I took the pictures. 1. Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park) [Portal Requesting Now] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP This park had opened in June 4th in 1993. You can walk not only behind the water fall, but also in the water with bear foot. So, it's nice place to "chill out" literally. 2. Suijin-hi (Stele of the Water God) [Portal] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP Next to the Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park,) there is Miyako Water Line Management Office.  When this Office opened, they made this stele.   In front of thi...
