Turkish Airline is all treated like harem slaves in Turkish Airlines which is member of Star Alliance? Shame on you, Turks! These Japanese ladies are not even employed fully by Turkish Airlines but as temporally employed with only 1200 Yen an hour and earn only 10000$ a year. Further more Turkish Airlines decided to change Japanese CA as interpreters not anymore as CA and cut working hours into half without social securities such as insurances. I wonder why Japanese government allows such a slave shop airlines like Turkish Airlines to land in Japanese territories after all. Did Transport ministry got under the table money to allow their operation to Japan? Hey all people who has consciousness to realize correct society without slaveries and sweat shops in the world, stand up and boycott flying Turkish Airlines! Solidarity with Turkish Airlines CAs from Japan!

This cookie baking thing I have made last 22 years with same members of children (now adults) , I suggested that this year will be the last time science they are all grown up, but they want to continue. Well, I will see.
Japanese Yen is getting more and more expensive. Some of my friends in Japan believe that it is good for the Japanese tourists abroad, they gets more foreign currency for Yen, which means tourists from Japan the foreign countries get cheaper. This is however two bladed sword. Not only for foreign guests to Japan it is getting more and more expensive to visit, I would even say there will be no tourists from abroad to Japan any more. There are quite a bit of people working on tourism industry especially my hometown Sapporo or Hokkaido in general. Too expensive Yen causes another trouble such as decline of export-orientated industries. As you may know Japan is fully exposed for exporting goods to foreign countries, this Yen rise is deadly for Japan her self. For me, it is also 25% less Yen for my Swiss Francs that means a dish less for my dinner. I might slim a bit. Hahaha.
ロンドンに行きたい。テートモダーンで大好きなMark Rothokoの展覧会を観たいのだ。ここに彼の絵の写真を載せたい所だがあいにくコピーライトの問題があるのでできない。興味のある方は上記の名で探していただくと『ああ。この絵見た事ある！』お思いになることだろう。というのはポスターとか絵葉書になってかなり巷に出回っているからだ。こういう流派はアブストラクトエクスプレニショニスムと言うらしいが僕にとってはただの禅画である。彼が生前テートに一群の絵を売り渡した時一つ注文をつけた。それは絵の赤にマッチする壁の色が要るので（オレンジの少し入ったとてつもなく薄い灰色だそうだ）展示用の特別室を作って欲しいという事だった。ところがその後すぐに Mark Rothokoが亡くなってしまったためテートギャラリーは特別展示室を作らなかった。文句つけるやつがいなくなってしまったからだ。今回のテートモダーンでの展覧会では始めて彼の指示した部屋の作りで（ロトコは部屋のモデルまで作っていたそうな）、彼の意図した展示の仕方で観られるという。これはRothoko Roomという。確か日本にもロトコの部屋があるはず、黒い絵だったと思いますけど今度調べて観に行ってきます。日曜だけど家で静かにしています。娘は明日の期末試験勉強。僕はできるだけ精のつく物を食べさせて今晩笑顔で送り出してあげたい。それが僕にしてあげられる唯一のこと。難しすぎてこちとら自慢じゃないだチンプンカンプンなり。
Today I write about spam mails. I keep one of my mail accounts as spam collector account and let spammers mail me their faked Viagra & Rolex watches then send report to “UCE spam@uce.gov“ which is division of US Office of commerce who is fighting against mostly US related spammers. As I noticed from spam headers, I see still now more than half spam originated from China. Chinese are the best spammer in the world. Congratulations! Chinese love to be the top! This still is improvement; a few years ago China Spam was even 75%! As the world economy worsens, the new faces on Spammer scene appeared: namely Kazakhstan, Austria, Sweden, Germany, Brazil and so on. It used to be spamming is done by poor both in money, job opportunities and moral such as Russia, Philippines, China, Mexico and USA. Now I see the idiots of richer countries like Sweden comes into the scene. It is maybe not Swedes at all; the spammer could be immigrants from traditional spam countries as I mentioned above to Sweden. Globalisation greets you. My impression is that there come less and less spam mails recently. This is because of better spam protection both from the provider side and end user side. The most important thing is that one shall never buy anything from spam shops. Secondly never click any buttons on spam mails. Thirdly join Spamcop.
Maruyama is an easy mountain. Normal person can climb in 30 minutes. For Sapporo people it is no way climbing but a little hard walk. I for example never leave home thinking I am going to climb Maruyama today. This mountain is good enough when I am near and got time decide to go up quickly type of mountain. No maybe a hill. One difference is however there are 88 small stone Buddha figures wearing cap and clothes on our way up to the top. This is said that our ancestors from Shikoku, I am one of them, longed after Shikoku 88 pilgrim temples and built them. This is one of the place I love in Sapporo.
