Vegetable juice
Sometimes, I get intense cravings for something. For example, Kentucky Fried Chicken's chicken. I don't eat so many times but I like it. I think, many people would agree with my opinion.
For example, vegetable juices. I don't care about my health such like health nuts. But sometimes I get intense cravings for vegetable juice.
Yesterday, I got intense cravings for vegetable juice. Then, I went to the nearest vending machine. But I couldn't find vegetable juice.... I went to another vending machine. But I couldn't find it too... At last, I searched for 3 vending machines but I couldn't find vegetable juice... :(
Today, I didn't get intense cravings for vegetable juice like yesterday. But I tried to find it.. I searched for 10 vending machines near my house but I couldn't find it... Of course, if I will go to the convenience stores, I can buy it.
I considered why.
Most of vegetable juices are contained in carton. But most of drinks that are selling in vending machines are can or plastic bottle.
2. Problem on best-before
Vegetable juices have shorter best-before than other drinks that are selling in vending machines. (?)
3. Problem on demands
Most of people don't want to drink vegetable juices. (?)
1 -> There are vending machines that are selling carton drink. Then this is not right.
2 -> I think, there are not big difference between vegetable juices and other ones. (unconfirmed)
3 -> I think, many people want to drink it. (unconfirmed)
I searched it on the Internet.
Then I found why.
In vegetable juice, there are big difference of its taste. Then many people tend to buy the same brand's vegetable juice. So, it is not suitable to sell in vending machines.
So, I need to go to the convenience store if I wanna buy vegetable juice.
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Tokyo marathon
But I have two big problems. One of them is depend on this event. And another one is depend on me.
First, the problem that depends on this event. That problem is capacity of this event. In Tokyo marathon, 30,000 runners run for 42.195 km but there were other runners. Then there were exactly 34,971 runners joined. But there were 261,981 of applies. And its competitive was 7.5. Then it is really hard to run in Tokyo marathon... This is one of the problem.
Secondary, my problem. I've never try to run 42.195 km. 42.195 km is really long distance. Sometimes, I jog around my house. But it is about 5 km or less. Then if I would run in Tokyo marathon, I need to train more.
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Not McDonald's
Japan national team became the champion of WBC 2009 again. Then McDonald's Japan is now on sale to celebrate WBC Japan national team's won. We can buy McDonald's burger in special price. But today I went to another hamburger chain store.
MOS BURGER. Mos burger is now selling burgers that is using domestic grown cattle. Its prices are 390 yen (about 4 USD) and 420 yen (about 4.3 USD). It is not so cheap but its taste was really good. I think, it is better than McDonald's Quarter Pounder.
I love to eat Mos burger's burger. Because its taste is really good. But Mos burger is famous for its expensive price... We can buy cheaper burger in McDonald's. But I would like to choose Mos burger. lol If you have a chance to eat it, you should try it..
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

ECONOMY or ECOLOGY
According to most of media, we are in depression once in a century. Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda and other automotive makers are suffering with this depression. Sales of cars in Japan marked the lowest since 1979. But Honda’s new eco-friendly car Insight received over 10 thousand of orders. Insight is eco-friendly and it is an economy car. It is cheaper than Prius (Toyota’s eco-friendly car).
Most of countries are announcing their policy to boost the economy. In Japan, the government decided to provide 12,000 yen (about 120 USD)to all of Japanese person. (20,000 yen (about 200 USD) for kids and elder person)
Also they decided to special deal of using express way with ETC. (ETC is electronic toll collection systems. If you use ETC, you don’t have to stop your car at toll gate.) If we use ETC and drive our car on express way, we don’t have to pay more than 1,000 yen (about 10 USD). This special deal is only for private use car and only on holidays. I think it is good for car users to go to trip.
According to the JITA (Japan Electronics Information Technology Industries Association), February’s sales of ETC was 45% more than its sales in January. Yes, many people are buying this to get the special deal. This policy is effective for most of car users in Japan. But this policy is not good for business drivers. They must pay usual toll even they are using ETC. I think, it is not good. The government should act for business drivers too.
By the way, today’s title “ECONOMY or ECOLOGY”. This special deal is good for economy. But how about for ecology? ETC users are increasing day by day. And most of them will use express way more than before. They will drive their car to go to trip with using express way. Then I think, amount of exhaust gas would increase rapidly. Most of ecologist are saying this exhaust gas is one of cause of the global warming. Of course, most of them are driving eco-friendly cars like Insight and Prius, it is not so bad. But most of people are driving old and not fuel-efficient cars, I think.
So, what should we do? Buy the expensive eco-friendly car?
For ecology, the government decided to aid for eco-friendly car buyers. It is good deal for rich person who are planning to buy eco-friendly car. Most of cars’ prices are including tax of course. But this is aid to reduce its tax. I heard, if you buy Prius or Insight, you don’t have to pay tax price. The government believe that this aid would boost the sales of eco-friendly car more. But I don’t think so. Because most of eco-friendly cars are expensive than other cars because these cars including new technology. Then we are in depression, most of people are not planning to buy new car, I think. Some rich person would buy these eco-friendly cars but most of us wouldn’t buy it...
But it is good aid for rent-a-car companies. If these companies would stock these eco-friendly cars, some people that can’t buy eco-friendly cars would rent it like me. I don’t have plan to buy eco-friendly car because I don’t have to drive car so many time. But if I have a time to drive a car, I wanna rent eco-friendly car:)
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
