Health examination

I have health examination today morning.

I got up at six.
then I only had a cup of water,ride train.

I lose my wight about two kiro-grams compared to last year.
That was good thing!

My eyesight was worse than last year.
That was bad thing!

After finishing health examination.
It was necessary to excrete barium as soon as possible.
SO, I took laxatives,
I went to the toilet many times.

Women-only passenger car is illegal.

Everywhere in big city of Japan, There are Women-only passenger car.
Which are intended for women only.

But thinking of Gender equality, I think it’s illegal.

Though I have never ridden on Women-only passenger car,
If a man get into the women-only cars by mistake,
There are unpleasant announcement
saying “Women-only passenger car is for women”

I want to say to conductor.
“The Constitution guarantee Gender equality, You should not say it!”

Go to the dentist Part III?

Last Thursday, I went to dentist.
After finishing it, I took a next reservation.
I remember the day is Tuesday.
So I was preparing for it.
(brushing my teeth)

I checked appointment card given by the dental clinic,
I found out the next appointment is 9/9 (next Tuesday)

Today I thought is next remedy.
which was mistaken.

How stupid I am!

There are many summer festivals in Japan.

During Summer, There are many summer festivals in Japan.
Especially festivals with fireworks are common.

The reason is simple,
People take summer vacation during Summer season, and School are summer vacation.

School Summer vacation begins from July 20 to August 31.
(Summer vacation may be short in northern Japan.Because of longer winter vacation)

However, There is bad thing in festival,
Traffic Jam!

I happened to go through near the festival yesterday.
I didn’t know why there is heavy traffic jam at that time.
I searched on the Internet and find that because of summer festival,
Traffic was stuck!

outage and outrage

When I was watching NBC Today podcast Video News,
I heard unknown word “Outage”,
At first I took it as outrage, But It’s wrong.

Outage means stop something such as electricity and Internet connection and so on.

An example sentence is below.
Time Warner Cable Experienced Outages in All Markets.
And This happened in reality.

That makes Users outrage!
