Protect Japanese Territory

About 230 Chinese boats including some military equipped coast vessels sailed near Japanese-controlled water in the East China Sea. The incident occurred near the Senkaku Islands. They are administered by Japan but also claimed by China. 

Japan should protect these islands more firmly, otherwise China would land there near the future. They won't hesitate to do that.

Rio 2016

Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games have started. The first Japan's game was football against Nigeria. Unfortunately, Japan lost the first game even Nigeria had transport troubles. 

I look forward to watch table tennis, gymnastics and tennis. I'm worried about Kei Nishikori's physical conditions, but he will reach some kind of medal in this Olympics.

Next Audiobook

I finished an audiobook "Life if Pi". It was a nice story. I could imagine the scene in the story. The last three chapter was a little bit chilly. Anyway I really recommend the novel. 

My next audiobook is a long story. It's 26-hours-long Haruki Murakami's book called "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle." I read the novel once, but I almost forgot about that. I really look forward to listening to it.

Nike Withdraws from Golf Equipment

Nike said that they will stop to sell golf equipment such as clubs, balls and bags. They will continue produce apparel and foot gears. That was because their sales has been declining due to the decline in players population especially younger generations. 

The decline in participation rate of golf would be the same here in Japan. More and more golf courses have been closed. We don't watch golf taurnaments on tv so often. Even many of my friends quite to play golf. We are too busy to play golf or we have found more interesting things.

A Rotten Rule of Koshien

A female high school baseball member helped team practice in Koshien field, but she was forced to go out from the ground by a official. That was becaus she was a woman. That's ridiculous. 

She has been supported the team for a long time and that was common scene for her teammates. Why she had to be out of Koshien field? That was a nonsensical rule. It should be changed immediately.

Taking Water

It's been hot. I have to work outside at a fish market in the morning. While fish auctions, I have to bit among other auctioneers. The crowd create deadly heat, so I'm sweating every morning. 

To prevent heat stroke, I take lots of tea and water at least three liter a day. I don't know when this heat will end, but l'm really looking forward to autumn. Really.

Security in Rio

Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games will start soon, but there are lots of security problems there. Due to the worsening of economic conditions in Brazil, street crimes happen so frequently. And terrorist attacks are concernd, but Brazilian authorities are not familia with handling terrorist attacks. 

Only I can do for Olympic athletes is play for them. I hope I can watch their performances in good conditions.
