Typhoon and Iwate National Athlete Meets

   

The typhoon No.10 aka Lionrock damaged Japan so badly in August 30, 2016.
It has been over month since then, but because of lack of volunteers, there are still many places need help to clean up and rebuild in Iwate prefecture.
Plus, there is Iwate National Athlete Meets (Iwate Kokutai) now and many people are supporting the Meets, but the typhoon affected areas.
 
What shocked me was the big sign says like "Let's support kokutai, National Athletic Meets" on collapsed building in Iwaizumi where was affected by typhoon the most in Iwate. That was heartbreaking for me.  There are many people who lost their houses and family members, and some people are still missing.  How could they even think those typhoon victim people would be motivated to support Iwate National Athlete Meets? I was very sad and angry at the same time.
　
I do not support Iwate National Athlete Meets, but I support typhoon victims instead.
That's why I have been going Iwaizumi for volunteering during Iwate National Athlete Meets.
 
If you could too give your support to those typhoon victims, please help them.
Iwaizumi disaster volunteer center Omoto opens 8:30 - 15:00.
Maps to get there is as below.  Thank you for your kindness.

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?

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.
