Sunday shopping
Submitted by Muravej on Sun, 2013-05-19 23:34In the afternoon, Katya, Mariya and I went out for shopping leaving Maya-san home. We dropped at a public parking lot to see roses around the fences. Then we went to an au shop, a telephone company to talk about my broken iPhone; there is no AppleStore in Kofu. I had called to Apple, and the operator told me that with the number he gave me, I was able to borrow an iPhone at any au shop. The man at the au shop told me that he knew nothing about this system and that he could not do anything for me.

Ok, the first three photos were taken at the class with my iPad. I would take more, but I was more concerned with getting it done right. Plus, this isn't a cooking blog, so I don't think a step-by-step guide is necessary:

Newly Discovered Meat-Eating Plant In Japan
Submitted by Andrew Joseph on Sun, 2013-05-19 13:01
Fear not... the newly discovered meat-eating plant - not a man-eating plant - was not discovered in the Fukushima-ken area, home to the recent nuclear fallout from the Dai-ichi nuclear power reactor, rather it was discovered in Aichi-ken - which is southwest of Tokyo.
