台湾で運転

９月１日から２週間くらいかけて台湾を一周しようと思ってます。

しかし、台北や高雄は交通機関が発達してるからともかく、田舎の方は車がないと楽しめないかと思いレンタカーをかりれるかしらべたところ、日本は台湾を国家として認めてないので国際免許証は有効ではないらしい。

しかし、うれしいことに、日本の免許証をJAFにもってけば手数料３３００円で中国語に翻訳してくれ、さらにそれが台湾で通用するということらしい。

これならレンタカー借りてみようかなと思ったけど、しらべてみると台湾の運転マナーはひどく危険というではないか。

一応、私はマレーシアのクアラルンプールの交通事情をしっているのであんなもんかなあと勝手に思うのだが（市内では運転したくないですね。。）、台湾の「田舎」はどうなんだろう。海外ではマレーシアのラブアン島（田舎、渋滞皆無）とコタキナバルでは運転したことがあります。

マレーシアは日本と同じ左側通行だったけど、台湾は逆の右側通行。反対車線に入り込まないように気をつけないとね。

Designer's Apartment in Yoyogi,Tokyo

Tokyo is famous for expensive rent for living.

Today's topic is about an apartment in Yoyogi,Tokyo.

I found this you-tube video.

here

The first room got a second floor which is very good feature of the room.

Its got a small kitchen,closet,bedroom,bathroom with bathtub ,and toilet.

Guess how much you need to pay.

It states 237000yen for rent a month plus 8000yen for common service charge a month.

Wow,so expensive..

The smaller one costs 117000yen a month plus 6000yen for public service charge.

This apartment is designed by designers. Its located in just 3 minutes away from YOyogi.

and little bit more spacious than one-room apartment.But its so expensive..

If can spend 230000yen to rent a condominium in Malaysia, what kind of luxurious room I could get?

Will AirAsia fly to Japan soon?

My friend(Japanese) told me a couple of days ago that one of her friend(Japanese) passed a test to be a flight attendant of AirAsia, and if she really decided to work for AirAsia, she would have to stay in Malaysia for at least 2 years.

It was the first time for me to know AirAsia is hiring Japanese as flight attendants.

Is it a sign of "Flying to Japan soon"?

Anyway, I really hope so..

先日、友達が「私の友達で、マレーシアのええっと・・・マレーシア空港に就職するかもしれない子がいて・・」と教えてもらいました。

俺が「空港じゃなくてマレーシア航空じゃない？」といったら

「あ、ごめん、空港じゃなくてエアラインだった。でもマレーシア航空じゃない。」

というので俺は「じゃあ、ほかの国の航空会社じゃない？マレーシアに日本人が就職するような航空会社はマレーシア航空以外にないよ。他は格安航空のAirAsiaしか・・。でも、日本に飛んでないし、日本人を雇う利点はあまりないと思うし・・。」

友達「そうそう！エアアジア！そこのテストと面接に合格してもし本当に決めたら、就職してから二年間は最低マレーシアにすまなくちゃいけないらしいよ。」と言いました。

AirAsiaが日本人を雇っている？初耳です。

これはAirAsiaが本当に日本に飛んでくる準備の一環なのでしょうか？

そうであることを願います。

調べてみるとあるんですね。日本線のためにとは書いてないけど採用活動をしてるんですね。

ここでみつけました。

Tree Man

Last night I watched TV programme about one man with rare desease.

Since he was 5 years old, he started having strange rash

Eventually....the rash spread all over his body,especially in his hands and feet..

here it is

I was terribly shocked!! I couldnt believe my eyes..He is an indonesian. really unbelievable.
I really thought it was CG or something..

There are so many things i never known yet..

Topic:Trains

When I travel, one of my interests and activities I see there would be watching and experiencing train rides.

Trains in Japan is very efficient and useful,furthermore, there are shops inside statoins and normally, there are many shops in front of statoins.

When I visited Tokyo first time,I thought train is going through cuz the trains entered station so speedy.But it was actually stopping at the station,I just misunderstood it cuz one train set is about 10 cars..

One more thing i was surprised was some train cars got 5 doors ..

My favourite train,Singapore MRT opened a new line,circle line a few months ago.

I really want to try it.

its desgin,cleanliness,clear announcement,spacious station,safety platform screen door,easylink card are perfect.

Hong Kong also have very similar train,MTR. not MRT but MTR,so confusing thou..

Ah very nice!Whats great about Hong Kong MTR is the line opened 30 years ago,but it still look new and clean,shiny.

Perth,Australia also have a train lines.Transperth.

I was amazed at the floor of train,it was carpetted!

Train announcement was not in Australian accent,but normal accent..

Bangkok metro is also nicee.

Its super clean and looking good UNLIKE ground level which is mostly chaos!
Its totally different world between road on the ground and Metro in the underground.

I really hope Nagoya subway also will renovate itself like one of trains above i introduced..

look so old.toilet stinks,no contactless tickets,no platform screen doors,messy advertisement.

Huh..well,its still efficient and useful,but maybe they can do something about problems i said .
But I dont know if citizens will agree with spending much tax on improvinh the facilities into shiny spacious metro system like ones in singapore or in hong kong..

Google Chrome

I just downloaded and installed "Google Chrome".

Previously, I was using Mozzila. sometimes I was irritated at it.

Now I give google chrome a try.

So far, its working pretty well.

Its really fast. Much faster than Mozzila,I think.

What browser are you using?

Google Chrome

Not so hot day

It rains a lot these days.
Its getting hotter.
I hate it.
