Beach, Coastal Levees, and Titans

It was too beautiful day, and it's kinda shame that I had to work today.
I felt like drive to the beach even though it's little cold.
So, I use my "lunch break (in general because I do not eat daytime)" to drive to the beach in Fujiwara where is about 10 -15 minute driving from my office.
   
 
 
Unfortunately, the sun was covered by clouds when I got there, but the view there was gorgeous as usual.  I saw some sort of the construction materials covered by the yellow sheets on the beach.




On the construction sign on the walk way, I found those construction materials were the base of the coastal levees that they were building there to protect the beach area by tsunami.
Around there was one of many areas in the city that got affected by tsunami on March 11, 2011. People who live there got two choices; either they keep the beautiful beach as is with the danger of tsunami, or build the coastal levees so they get protected from tsunami.
It was little sad that how they decided, but it needs to be done for their lives.
 
Within couple years or so, people will not be able to see the beach, and instead, they will be seeing the grey concrete walls.  
After the walls are built and anybody who is not from around this area asked me what the walls for, I will answer them -

"TITANS."

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.
