Mega-moji started









I'm subscribing Yomiuri Shimbun. And they started to renew their newspaper on Monday. They changed their size of character. They call this change "Mega-Moji". "Moji" means letter. Yomiuri Shimbun is the giant of Japanese newspaper. Then, the second largest newspaper Asahi Shimbun also changed the size of letter too. I think, this change is really nice. It is better than before for our eyes.


Anyway, these days Japanese company like to use "Mega". For example, "Mega-gyudon". "Mega-gyudon" is one of the beef bowl that Sukiya is selling in Japan. But "Mega-gyudon" is three times as much as usual size of beef bowl. You can check the size of this beef bowl at "http://www.zensho.com/menu/recommend071016.html". I think, "Mega-moji" is nice but "Mega-gyudon" is not so good... Also McDonald's started "Mega-Mac" in Japan last year. This is bigger than "big-mac". It's like super-size. I don't like it because I watched "Super size me". LOL


Even more, there are a lot of "Mega" things in Japan. They use "Mega" many times. Visit Japan and search "Mega". LOL


Thank you for your reding!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Cherry blossom in Tokyo











Japan Meteorological Agency announced that cherry blossom in Tokyo flowered on Saturday. Then I went to park near my house today and yesterday. Yesterday I couldn't take good photos but today, I could take good photo. I uploaded one of these photos.


There were a lot of people who came to see cherry blossom today. But yesterday there were not so many people who came to see cherry blossom. And I felt cherry blossom was not so good yesterday. Then I thought, this is why there were no so many people who came to see cherry blossom yesterday.


Now you can see beautiful cherry blossom in Tokyo. So, if you have a chance come to Tokyo and enjoy cherry blossom. Or you can enjoy great restaurants that printed in Michelin guide Tokyo. LOL

Japanese fall

There are no governor in our country's central-bank.

I think, it is really big problem.
Maybe most of diet members knows that this is emergency. But the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) refused the plan of Prime Minister Fukuda. But the Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP) didn't change their plan. Then, there are no governor in Bank of Japan.

Prime Minister Fukuda felt the responsibility for this problem. Said on his e-mail magazine. And he said like "I know this post is really important for Japanese economic and our lives. Then I felt I must chose right person for governor.".

He chose Toshiro Muto first. He was vice governor in Bank of Japan. And he was working for the Ministry of Finance before. But DPJ refused it because he was working for the Ministry of Finance before.

Then, he chose Kouji Tanabe. He is governor in Japan Bank For International Cooperation. And he was working for the Ministry of Finance before too. So, DPJ refused it too.

I think there are two miss points. First, why did the Democratic Party of Japan refuse two persons who worked for the Ministry of Finance before? It is not so big problem, I think.

Second, why did the Liberal-Democratic Party not change the person who was not working for the Ministry of Finance before? DPJ said like we won't permit the person who was working for the Ministry of Finance before. Then it's proper result. So, LDP needed to change their plan.

In any case, they have to decide the new governor in Bank of Japan very very soon.

Mystery on Windows





I'm always using Mac but sometimes I'm using Windows too. I'm wondering every time when I wanna shut off the Windows. We have to press "start" to shut off the Windows.

I think, it is not "start". But it is finish. I was using Windows 2000. And I'm using Windows XP on MacBook. Both of them, we have to press "start" when we wanna shut off Windows. I don't know about Windows Vista but maybe it's same way.

I heard that we can shut off Windows with "alt+F4". It is really nice short-cut-key. Most of application on Windows can shut off by this short-cut-key. It's like "command(⌘)+Q" on Mac.

And I'm wondering about version of Windows. I searched on Wikipedia about Windows. Then I got that Windows NT 4.0 is version 4.0. Windows 2000 is version 5.0. But Windows XP is not version 6.0. Windows XP is version 5.1. Why. I also checked about Windows Vista. Windows Vista is 6.0. And some bloggers wrote about new version of Windows. Windows Vienna. I think, it is version 7.0.

I have three questions about Windows.
1. Why we have to press "start" when we wanna shut off Windows.
2. Why Windows XP is not version 6.0.
3. What is NT?
Tell me why.

Thank you for your reading!

Killer bridge.




Life in Japan





I always my bicycle to go to my college. When I ride my bicycle I always feel that the bridge on the road is very dangerous. Look at the picture. This is the bridge name "歩道橋(pedestrian bridge)".

The pavement is very narrow because of pedestrian bridge. But I think this case is better one. I know pedestrian bridge that more dangerous than this one. There are many pedestrian bridges in Japan. Because many cars are running on the road so, we can't cross these road without pedestrian bridges.

But I felt a little weird. Many cars are running on the road but they can stop. If driver found the people who is waiting on the pavement, they must stop their car. If cars stopped, they can cross the road. And we don't have to use pedestrian bridges.

I think, it is hard to use pedestrian bridges for older person. There are stair and these are very steep. If we don't use pedestrian bridges, there are no reason to set new pedestrian bridge. Maybe we can remove it for our safety.

In fact, I wanna remove all of these pedestrian bridges. It is dangerous when I pass around pedestrian bridges by bicycle.

One more thing.
I think, we need bicycle only lane on road. Please built it!!

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
