シュフェン 淑恵

I met her when IBM was still selling personal computers. It's about the 1990s. Her name is "Shufen".

A midsummer afternoon hit by a guerrilla rainstorm. I rushed through the Ueno Park to the Ueno Station. The rain was like flipping a bucket, and even with an umbrella, it was almost useless, and my feet were soaked.
In front of me, a girl with a dull look was walking soaked without her umbrella. ... I wonder where the countryside of Saitama is. The outfit is dressed in the 1980s, 10 years ago.

She laughed with a smile as I casually put out my umbrella from behind her. Her gill-filled face wasn't flatteringly beautiful, but her eyes were crisp and adorable.
She couldn't speak Japanese. She was a Taiwanese woman. She didn't look unfashionable and she was an IBM career woman.

GOLDEN BUZZERS

American Got Talent. There are various dramas of life in acquiring the golden buzzer.
Today, I cried again in front of my computer from the morning. ... It's too hot here, and I get a lot of sweat from my eyes.

The winner always has a nice smile. Seeing their smiles gives me courage. I only have strong point in photos, but I've been working hard until I am recognized.

Compared to music, the emotion that photography gives to people is limited. Still, I hope that those who see my pictures will be given the courage to live their lives.

ALL 6 GOLDEN BUZZERS On America's Got Talent 2022!

Japanese will swim

A secret beach that is not listed in the guidebook, where I was taken during whale watching at Chichijima. About 30 minutes by boat. The small boat was berthed to a steep quay like sewing a rock protruding into the sea. As I climbed the quay of rock, the guide at the front was waiting on the way and said, "Don't look back, just climb the small hill."

Looking down on the right side of the slope that I climbed from the top of a small hill about 50m away, I saw a small cove of sand under my eyes. There is an arched rock wall where waves cut through the rock surface, and beyond that is the open sea of ​​the "Bonin Blue". The scenery is just like a Saipan grotto coming out on the surface of the water. Involuntarily everyone cheers and sighs.
Surrounded by cliffs, the islet is easy for ships to stranded if the waves are high. Only the small boat can berth for a limited time in the morning. So it was a little-known secret beach, where only lucky guys can berth there.

The story told by the guide at that time. ... If the ship grounds, and if the satellite phone can not be used, you have no choice but to swim to Chichijima, which is far away. If one person jumped into the water, everyone follows him swimming, if they are Japanese.

If it was a Frenchman, you can say "Don't swim" and he starts swimming.
If it was a German, you can say "It's a rule".
If it was Chinese, you can say "there are a lot of delicious fish".
If it was a Korean, you can just say "Japanese will swim."
If it was an American, you can just say "Become a hero by interviewing TV."
If you are Italian (♂), you can say "There are a lot of beautiful women".
If you are a Mongolian ... can they swim?
And the routine phrase. If it was a Kansai person, jump in with "Hanshin won the championship". no doubt.

"Well, ･･･isn't that racism?"

"Then, if it was a horror-loving girl ...?"
"Well, ･･･Gender discrimination isn't it?"

When I said that, the ship hit the bow against the rock and stopped ...

drifting small speedboat

More than 10 years ago. A story in a cheap weekend bullet resort tour in Phuket. A recruitment type group trip sponsored by a newspaper company. A hotel and an air ticket were a set. Round trip to Haneda for 2 nights and 3 days. Locally, joined the local cheap optional tour.
Khao Pinkan in Phang Nga Bay. that local tour to the famous James Bond Island  was around 5,000 yen with lunch or so.

Changed to a kayak and explored the lagoons and caves of Panak and Hong Island. It's common for kayakers to threaten, "If you don't tip, you'll get off the boat here." However, it is a story that has nothing to do with me on a poor trip without money.
Paddling a kayak by borrowing a paddle from a local saw. While rowing, I heard in local poor English that he had seen a speedboat that no one was on.

Unless you are a technical diver, such as pulling up a sunken ship, diving is generally done up to a depth of 30m, where there are many fish. Therefore, it is almost never far from the coast of the island. However, depending on the terrain, a strong rip current called lip current may occur. If the boat's engine doesn't start, and if it's caught in a rip current, it will drift far offshore.

Boats are often loaded with satellite phones and radios to prepare such drifting accidents. Most diving cruises in Phuket have a luxury diving plan by chartering a large diving boat, but of course there are also cheap charter boats. There is no guarantee that the radio on the local small boat is not broken. If a speedboat without wireless communicator etc. breaks down offshore, that's the end.

... It makes a large news when Japanese people get involved in an accident, but not so much for foreign divers. If the boat runs out of gas far off the Amandan Sea and cannot contact the land, it will be missing without anyone knowing. ... A small speedboat drifting. When the body is on board and when it is unmanned ...
It is said that such a ship is seen every few years.

beautiful Ne-chan

I've run out of topics, so I have LINE with a diver I knew for scary stories. Somehow, the answer was conserning to the wrong destination! Something like as follows...

from Managing Director 
"Huh? What are you talking about?"

has been Read 
"Sorry. I made a mistake in the sending destination ..."

from Managing Director 
"I was having trouble replying because I didn't know what it was. I'm glad to know you made a mistake."

What on earth was he had sent the LINE? Moreover, He was upset and sent something like "... (´д ｀ || i) damn". .. .. It seems that the wrong LINE was spiraled over.

Under such circumstances, the only thing that made me terrified was that when I accessed the official LINE of the bar that had just closed, I received an time service ticket (drink free).・ ・ ・Ticket's expiration date is tomorrow. I was wondering whether I shall go to check it out or not.
I wonder if raccoon dogs have send LINE to me? I wonder if the raccoon dog turns into a beautiful Ne-chan (nice body girl) and makes a drink. .. ..
