Matsuri
I was planning to carry portable shrine as usual, but it seems to be difficult... There are many reasons but I will not be able to join. Of course, I'm gonna walk with them and take some photos. So, please wait until I'll take some photos and upload them. lol
If you wanna know more about this festival, please visit their official web page from http://www.hachiojimatsuri.jp/ . But this page is only written in Japanese...
Thank you.

My first touch to iPad
Today, I went to the nearest electronics retail shop, I found the iPad there. I had a time to try it a little bit then. So, I tried it there.
I felt the big screen is nice. It useful when I visit some web sites that is not ready for iPhone's small screen. Also I felt the speed of iPad is OK, but I should check more because I couldn't use Apps downloaded from AppStore at that time.
But it's a little heavy. I don't want to hold it in one-hand for long time such as train. And it's not supporting multitasking yet. So, I wanna try it after the multitasking would be available on iPad too.
Also, I should check the monthly fees. Well, I wanna use it anywhere, but I don't want to pay another monthly fee anymore. I hope the Wi-Fi hotspots with no charge will be available in many places.
Thank you.

What's going on Japan?
Now, there are more than 40,000 people who are more than 100 years old in Japan. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's press release, there are 40,399 people who are more than 100 years old in Japan. (as of 1st September, 2009)
There are really many aged people in Japan. I felt so strongly, when I heard this number.
But...
Back to the news article.
According to the news, there are 18 people who are missing these years.
The news started with the news that 111 years old man found dead in his house in Tokyo. He was living with his family but his family didn't submit the death report to the city office. According to the news, the family might got pension illegally for about 30 years.
Japanese Health Minister Akira Nagatsuma announced that they will start to interview with more than 110 years old people.
I felt the relationship in family are becoming less and less...
Thank you.

fireworks 2010
Last Saturday, the Fireworks festival held in several areas in Japan. The fireworks festival at Sumidagawa is the most famous one, I think. I didn't go to watch the fireworks festival at Sumidagawa, but I watched the fireworks festival at my hometown.
I took some photos and videos with my iPhone 4 and uploaded some of them to flickr. If you like, please check the link below. http://www.flickr.com/photos/masaya_yoshizawa/sets/72157624496314621/
Anyway, the summer festival in my hometown will be started from next Friday. Yeah, this Friday!
On Saturday, and Sunday, I'm gonna join 八王子まつり(Hachioji matsuri) as usual, and I'm gonna carry 神輿(portable shrine). Also, I'm gonna take some photos, but it may be difficult to take many photos... And upload these photos later. I'm gonna write more about Hachioji Matsuri on Friday, but if you wanna know more, please contact me!
Thank you.
