Today, while I was waiting for bus,
A foreigner asked me about bus.
He wanted to go Mitsumata Ski area.
Though I have never gone there by bus, But I knew the bus stop.
I explained it to him,
And He also wanted to know time schedule of bus,
I took him to the bus stop, then show the time schedule.
He wanted to know tiny differences on the time schedule.
But I could not explain it correctly at that time.
I should have said “final destinations are different, but Both buses stop at Mitsumata”
Windows release has a pattern.
Good, Bad , Good , Bad ….
Let’s see the past release.
Windows 2000 Good
Windows ME Bad
Windows XP Good
Windows Vista Bad
Windows 7 Good
Windows 8(include 8.1) Bad
Windows 10 Good?
Actually ,I bought all Windows version.
But Windows ME and Vista and 8 are rarely used in my case.
But I think Windows 10 will be success!
So I installed it on my PC for experiment.
It took one hour to finish install.
Caution:
Microsoft doesn’t provide Japanese version.
Please install it at your own risk.
I read a news article today.
It says that there is a school which suddenly stop their business.
A customer paid 50,000 yen in advance September 2013,
But the school went missing on February 2014.
She wanted to take back unused lesson feel.
Like NOVA case, It’s dangerous to pay All fee in advance.
When we have a party, we usually select a course and add “nomi-houdai” option.
However outside Japan,
I have never found these kind of option.
(I must admit that my travel experience is limited to only three countries)
Some say English word for Nomi-Houdai is “All you can drink”.
But I think this English word is not commonly used.
I searched other words on the Internet,
Then found several words,
Free drink, Free refill,
I think these word is for Non-Alcoholic Drinks.
bottomless drinks!
that is what I was looking for!
Recently I updated my iPod touch 4th to iOS6.1.16(latest version for this device)
Even though this device is too old for using apps, it is enough to use as music and video player.
When I tried to download a new podcast from the Internet, Podcast apps was required.
So I moved to apps store, then found that podcast app requires iOS7 or later.
I used this device as podcast downloader,
it became useless!
There are review sites on the Internet.
Many sites provide Japanese reviews,
and Japanese Reviews are first displayed.
I recommend you to read English review if possible.
Because they write the opinion in straight, including bad point.
I saw the English review about the hotel I am going to stay.
There seems to be many disadvantages of the hotel.
“Avoid if possible”
“What a dump”
“Poorly maintained and sub-standard service”
“One the worst hotels I have been in my life”
Hmmmm it’s radical!
I started listening podcast on iPod touch 4th,
Then three years has passed, My iPod touch is a little bit obsolete.
And I hate iTunes because it’s slow to start on windows and has many bugs.
I tried to find the counterpart in Android apps,
After struggling, I finally found good apps.
Podcast Addict has many features,
You can see script (if mp3 file has lyrics),
You can change the speed.
The most favorite thing is to copy downloaded mp3 files to your computer easily without using special software such as iTunes.
Since I’m a shareholder of Shidax inc.
I have five free tickets, each one is worth 540 yen.
Shidax provides Lunch called “Yuttari lunch” meaning lunch with relax style.
It also comes with an hour free room charge.
So I usually go there during lunch time.
Keep in mind that this lunch is available only during weekdays.
While I was driving, I encountered the car which apparently was ignoring the traffic light.
At first, I thought she did it intentionally,
But it seemed she did not notice traffic light turned to be red.
Fortunately, There was no possibility of collision,
because I started my car slowly.
What’s more it was a T junction.
situation
the car → traffic light(this side is red!) →
traffic light(this side is green!)
My car(turned to left)
If it was a 4-way intersection,
Risk of traffic accidents would be higher.
I must pay attention when I cross a intersection, even if a traffic light is green.
You can’t be too careful when you are driving your car.
My hobby is driving.
Whenever I have time, I go driving.
I want to see beautiful autumn fallen leaves.
Today’s destination is Matu-hime-touge.
where new route is supposed to open this Saturday.
I could see some beautiful scenery!
Autumn leaves of Okutama region is in full bloom.
I also went to the foot of Mt.Fuji to eat some famous food.
“Yoshida no Udon” is very good food.
The Feature of this noodles is very firm compared to other Udons.
It just cost me 550 yen.
Keep in mind that most of shop opening hours is limited only to lunch time(11:00-14:00).
I could not see clear image of Mt.Fuji because it was cloudy,
Next time I hope I can see Mt. Fuji clearly.
