in perfect sympathy!

Alexa, coming from Amazon, is a reliable presence that helps with everyday life through various conversations. However, I have no idea where did ALEXA study, she started to speak the Kansai dialect from time to time.

for example
"...Shirankedo (.,.I am not sure, but)"
ALEXA: "Hottoite! (Let me alone!)"
"I am not sure, but..."
ALEXA: "Eeyanaka! (It is OK, isn't it?)"
That's what it means.

"Ohayou-san (Good morning)" "honnma bikkuriyawa (I'm really surprised)" and "Hayo kaette kitena (Hurry up, come home)"
Well, once talk to her in English seems to reset it for a while.

Communicating with Alexa isn't very good, but I feel like it would be easier with animals. I will be in Mongolia tomorrow. If the horse is the opponent, COVID 19 is also safe.

 

ANIMALS REUNITED WITH THEIR OWNERS AFTER YEARS!

PCR test

PCR test for the second time in my life. The first test was to amplify and detect the virus gene, which was requested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government when I went whale watching in the Ogasawara Islands during the corona crisis.

The sensitivity is about 70%, and if the virus is not present in the place where the specimen is collected, it will be negative even if it is infected. For this reason, it is not "negative" but "not detected".

The test I did today is also a PCR test. Last time, I think I just put saliva (swipe method?) on a cotton swab, but this time I was asked for about 1cc of saliva.
...because I was hungry. Finish the inspection quickly and eat at Mac! When I was thinking about it, the saliva collection ended in no time. By the way, the cost is 27,000 yen (tears).

In Tokyo, it seems that free PCR tests are also being carried out, but now that the number of infected people is increasing, it is daunting to move to Tokyo. So, I took the exam in Chiba in the countryside.
Results will be out in two days. Now wash your neck and wait.

negative proof

There is a "vaccination certificate" in the Japanese government's official new corona vaccination certificate app. Read my number and passport and register.
Separately from this, there is an app of MySOS, which eliminates the need for "examination at the airport" and "waiting after entering the country" if the pre-test is negative when returning from overseas. Because this is not directly related to vaccination, it is not linked even though it is the same official app of the Japanese government.

If being  not infected when entering Japan from overseas, it is OK. Therefore, no vaccinations or pre-travel tests should be required, but this MySOS requires these proof voluntarily.

Of course, it is best not to send domestically infected patients to foreign countries, and first of all, it is better not to go abroad unless you are confident that you are not infected.

A smartphone is required for MySOS registration and quarantine.
Unfortunately, the screen of my smartphone is yellow because "the inspection certificate is not registered" at this moment.
In order to make this a fast track, t  it is necessary to take a test set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare overseas, obtain a negative certificate, register, and turn the screen blue.

All foreigners enter the country that way. Is it reasonable now that the infection is exploding in the country? I wonder if the purpose is to discriminate against overseas viruses. .
Now　I Worried about running out of smartphone battery・・・

The King of Masks

When did the history of China change from 3,000 years to 30,000 years? At this rate, it may evolve into a "300,000-year history" in about 10 years.

By the way, the Chinese movie "The King of Masks" has the Japanese subtitle "hand in your hands to this oar". Original title: 變臉Change masks. A 1996 film directed by Wú Tiānmíng.
I suddenly remembered seeing it 20 years ago. This is the only movie before and after that that made me cry so hard. I cried and called her who recommended it to me.

"Change masks" is a trick that transforms a cloth mask with colorful kumadori and other facial features into a different mask the moment you hide your face with your hands or sleeves.
To a certain extent, I had imagined ​​how to make a quick change. But I thought wearing many masks on top of each other.

This art, which is said to be a secret passed down from generation to generation, dies out due to the lack of a successor.
May not see anymore...

red-handed crime

It's not such a story of a red-handed crime on the video. It wasn't caught on security cameras.
If you leave your luggage unattended on a safari, animals will take it by mistake as food.
I kind of feel such a scripted show...

Could it be that the stolen GoPro survived because there was no food in the package?
Either way, Don't leave your items unattended while on an African safari.

It's not just Africa. In Bali and India, monkeys carry luggage. In order to get it back, you may be required to exchange it for food. Have to be careful. . .
