Tea
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I love tea, because, coffee makes my stomach weak and upset.
When I buy it in a plastic bottle, I buy “afternoon tea (straight)”.
On a personal note, I am planning to hold a wedding at a certain place in Chiba Port.
I go to a meeting once a month, and every time I go, I am served peach tea.
Its taste is not too sweet, but smooth and very tasty. It is the best tea I have ever had.
As the story goes, on August 19, the Food Surveillance Division of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare sent us a notice to strengthen monitoring.
A monitoring inspection of fermented tea produced in the UK and originating from India found cases of violations of pesticide residue and other standards.
This is why the monitoring frequency has been increased to 30% for fermented tea from India.
Please note that when importing Indian tea, it is monitored about one in three times.

Lawful Cat
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Recently, my cat has been showing up every time I call his name.
When I come home from work and call him at night or in the afternoon on a day off, he will come waddling out of his bed.
In a way, cats also recognize their own names and the voices of their partners.
I’m sorry to have him come all the way out here, so I’ve been keeping him company on my days off when I have time to lie down in an airy spot.
It is also meant to be monitored to prevent escape from the front door, so please refrain from staying there for an hour or so.

Night-Time Pool
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Lately, my family has been into night pools.
We set up a household plastic swimming pool in the garden, illuminated with lights, dipping only our feet into the pool, and the whole family is fighting on the battlefield with FPS (survival game) game apps.
I can win when I bring my brain to play, but again, kids improve their games faster.
My son is going to beat the shit out of me.
Hope Corona should come to an end earlier and run go around without hesitation.
I’ve never been in a night pool at a public facility, so I’d like to go there sometime after Corona settles down.

Samma(mackerel pike)
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The fragrant smoke of Samma is a taste of autumn that stimulates the appetite.
The Fisheries Agency announced at the end of July that the 2021 saury fishery is expected to be the third consecutive year of record poor catches.
The catch of Samma has been decreasing year by year, and in 2020 it was at a record low of 29,566 tons.
One of the reasons for the poor catch is the increase in catches by Taiwan and China, both of which have already surpassed Japan in terms of catches.
Another reason has to do with the presence of warm water masses off the coast of Hokkaido, which move south from the northern seas in the fall.
They go offshore to avoid the area.The group of mackerel pike don’t go near the coast when there is warm water, they avoid the area and go offshore.
The reason for the poor catch is that the fishing grounds are too far offshore for small boats to reach.
A long time ago, Samma（mackerel pike) was the taste of the common people, but in 2021, it will continue to be a precious commodity.

Number of infected people in Taiwan
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
In late May 2021, a sudden coronavirus outbreak spread to Taiwan.
There were times when more than 500 new cases were infected every day.
Taiwan did not implement a lockdown, but suspended restaurants, movie theaters, and other facilities.
Large-scale quarantines have been implemented, all schools in elementary, middle, high school and university have been closed, and more than that, citizens have voluntarily suppressed all opportunities for contact with others.
As a result, on August 25, for the first time in 108 days since May 9, the Taiwanese mainland announced zero new cases of infection, excluding those who entered from overseas.
Little by little, Taiwan is getting back to the way it was last year.
Taiwan is in a situation where the number of infected people is extremely low worldwide.
The total number of infected people by the end of August was 15,983, unchanged from May 9, 2021.
This is the running total from 2020.
In just three and a half months, Taiwan has shown us a miracle.

Paralympics
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The Tokyo Paralympics, which is being held following the Tokyo Olympics, is basically held at the same venue used for the Olympics.
At the Olympic venues, there were no advertising signs for sponsors, only the Olympic logo, but at the Paralympic venues, there were advertising signs for sponsors.
The reason why there are no advertising signs at Olympic venues seems to be the strong commitment of the International Olympic Committee.
The Olympic Charter clearly states the “principle of clean venues,” and advertising signs inside and outside the venues are thoroughly hidden to show off the public nature of the Olympics.
On the other hand, since the Paralympic Games have a short history and a weak financial base, advertising signs were already in place in the 1980s, and by putting up advertising signs, the income has increased, which has helped the management.
I had thought that the Olympics and the Paralympics were somewhat the same, but now I understand that they are very different, even if it is only in terms of advertising signs.

Rap Music
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I listen to a wide variety of music, but lately I’ve been particularly addicted to Hip Hop.
I love to listen to artists sing, but I also love to watch freestyle rap battles.
Freestyle means to rap improvisation on the spot.
And since it’s a battle, you have to “shoot” your opponent in the mouth.
While rapping, he says things that put the other person down.
It would be easier to show examples, but I’ll refrain from doing so since it’s full of abusive language.
When I watch it, I think it looks really tough.
While swinging and riding the beat, find a flaw in the person or something you can make fun of, and rap about it…
Moreover, the words must rhyme with, not only just curse.
These are done simultaneously.
You need to have a good sense of sound, as well as a quick mind and a good vocabulary.
If you are not good at it, all you can say is low-level stuff, like a fight between elementary school kids.
People who are good at it are full of wordplay and wit. They say things that make you think.
By the way, as I write this, I’m a big proponent of Yokohama among a certain rap group that has sold over 1.2 billion yen and has become the top trending group in the world on Twitter.
Because of my work, I often see the letters 045 and YOKOHAMA, and I am thrilled every time I see them.
If you know what this means, we are comrades. Let’s talk about it sometime.

Unbreakable Soap Bubble
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
As summer is coming to an end, we are seeing many programs on TV about children’s free research.
After work, I rushed to the bookstore and bought a book on “100 free research projects” for adults.
There are many experiments I would like to try, but I decided to try this one while playing in the water on the weekend with my kids.
Find some gum syrup at home and go to the destination water playground with the water play equipment.
I opened up a 100-yen shop set of soap bubbles, mixed the solution and gum syrup, and blew on the blowing tool, and the bubbles flew in the wind.
The soap bubbles that landed on the child’s body did not burst at all.
Some of them would go all the way through if you gently ran your fingers through them.
It was so much fun that we are planning to conduct an experiment to make a giant soap bubble the size of our height.
