株主優待券 Stockholder complimentary ticket

先週、ANAの株主優待券が届きました。
これが有ると国内線が半額で乗れます。でもワシは自分では使わずに
金券ショップへ販売。1枚￥5,000位で買ってくれるはず。
ANAの株は儲かっているのか？って。
半年ほど前に1株210円で買ったのが、今は178円前後・・・。
はい、そうで損をしてます。ワシは2,000株持っているので約6万円強の損。
まぁ～、来年の3月に向けて価格が上がると信じて売らずに持ってます。

Last week, I got stockholder complimentary ticket from ANA(All Nippon Airways).

I can get on domestic air plane with half price because I have the stockholder ticket. But I don’t use it.

Do you know how I use it?

I will sell it to ticket outlet shop.

They maybe buy the ticket JPY5,000 per a thicket from me and I have 2 so it will be JPY10,000.

You may want to know my stock situation of ANA, right?

I bought ANA stock half years ago with JPY210 but now it is around JPY210 so yes, I lost about JPY60,000 now.

But I think ANA stock will be rise in Mar so I don’t sell it and I have to wait it will be going higher.

苫小牧駅前 in front of Tomakomai station

11/12～14の日程で、名古屋、大阪、北海道出張。
苫小牧に行ったのは何年振りでしょうか。
記憶では寂れた街並みだったけど、でっかいイオンが建ってたりしてて
しばらく北海道を離れているんだな。と実感しましたわ。

I was on business trip to Nagoya, Osaka and Hokkaido from 12 to 14th Nov.

I haven’t visited Tomakomai city in Hokkaido long time.

In my memory, this city was small and kind of deserted city but not only big AEON shopping mall but also the other new shops were built in there so I felt I have left long years from Hokkaido and lots of things are being changed in here.  

離島出張 Business trip to isolated Islands

11/7～8の日程で、伊豆諸島の島へ出張で行って来ました。
伊豆諸島へ行くのも初めてでしたが、ヘリコプターに乗るのも初めてで
今回は初めてづくしの出張でした。
で、大変だったのは帰り道。
行きは羽田⇒八丈島の便でしたが、帰りは三宅島⇒羽田の飛行機で帰る予定に
していたのですが、三宅島は火山ガスが空港方面に流れてくると飛行機は欠航に
なるらしく、10月以降の冬場は月に2～3便しか飛ばないんだってよ。
そんなん知らんから、普通に何の心構えも無く島に着いてビックリよ。
偶然一緒のヘリに乗ってた方々が親切に、欠航になったらどうしたら良いかを
教えてくれたから良かったけど、そうじゃなかったら路頭に迷ってたわ。
そんな訳で急遽三宅島⇒東京はフェリーに切り替えて、飛行機なら14時に羽田に
着いていたはずが、東京に着いたのは21時。家に着いたのは23時30分でした。
疲れた～・・・。

I was on business trip to the Izu Islands on 7 and 8th Nov.

This is first time to visit Izu Islands and also getting on helicopter so I could have lots of first experiences in this trip.

But on back way, I got big trouble.

In going way, I used fright from Haneda airport to Hachijo Island but on back way, I was planning to use flight from Miyake Island to Haneda airport but the back way flight was canceled because of volcanic gas.

In Miyake Island, if the gas was going to airport, the flight is canceled soon and normally after Oct in winter season, only 2 or 3 flights per month can come to Miyake Island but I didn’t know the kind of information so I was so surprised after reaching at Miyake because I haven’t readied anything in case of flight cancel.

But fortunately, very kind people who got on helicopter with me taught me how I should do when my flight was canceled so I could smoothly change back way getting on ferry.

So original plan was on PM14:00, I could arrive at Haneda airport but flight was canceled and I used ferry so I could reach at Tokyo port on PM21:00 and back home was on PM23:30.

It was so exhausted.

島巡り Island tour

7日からの出張は、東京⇒八丈島⇒御蔵島⇒三宅島⇒東京のスケジュール。
羽田発の飛行機からは大島、三宅島、御蔵島が綺麗に見えたので写真撮影しました。

Scheduled route of business trip from 7th was Tokyo ⇒Hachijo Island ⇒Mikura Island ⇒ Miyake Island ⇒ Tokyo.

From air plane which departed from Haneda airport, I could see Ooshima, Miyake and Mikura Island clearly so I took pictures.

こちら大島。島中心部の黒い部分は噴火の後ですかね？

This is Ooshima.

You can see black color in center of the Island, right?

It maybe marks of eruption. 

こちらは三宅島。島全体が火山だよ!?

This is Miyake Island.

Whole Island looks volcano!?

これは御蔵島。島の外周は全て断崖絶壁。でも、人が住んでます。

This is Mikura Island.

All outline of the Island is cliff but people are living.

First Cabin in Haneda airport

7日のフライトがAM7：20だったので、6日は羽田空港内のファーストキャビンという
カプセルホテルに宿泊。
カプセルホテルと言っても、2段式の狭いスペースに閉じ込められる感じでは無く
ちゃんと天井の高さが確保されたカプセルホテルです。
勿論素泊まりになりますが、大浴場、各部屋にテレビも完備されているので
翌朝早くにバスや電車で都区内のホテルから空港に来る手間を考えると
全然便利で問題無し。
何せ羽田空港の第一ターミナル内のホテルなので、空港までの所要時間ゼロ。
価格は1泊￥4,900なのでビジネスホテルよりも当然安いです。
ただ、難点は宿泊客のほぼ全員が早朝便に乗る人達なので、朝4時前後から
ゴソゴソと結構な物音がし寝てはいられません。
カプセルホテルなので、防音という概念は全く無く通路を歩く音とかは全然
聴こえてしまいます。

My flight time on 7th was AM7:20 so on 6th, I stayed in capsule hotel whose name First Cabin, in Haneda airport.

Normally capsule hotel is very small room and it is like a bunk bed style but this First Cabin is not the style.

The room has enough height of ceiling.

Of cause, it is no meal but we can use big spa and every room has own TV so it is not uncomfortable.

The hotel is located in Haneda airport first terminal building.

If I stayed other hotel in wards in Tokyo, I have to wake up and move to airport by bus or train from early morning but the First Cabin is in Haneda airport building so moving time is nothing.

Don’t you think it is so useful?

The price is one night JPY4,900 so it is, of cause, cheaper than business hotel.

But problem is almost all guests have schedule of getting early morning flight so lots of guests start moving from around 4 AM so I could hear some sounds and of cause, cannot continue sleeping.

It is capsule hotel so it absolutely doesn’t have soundproof and easily we can hear sounds, people walking in corridor.

Long time no see you!

6日は出張前の東京前泊だったので、トロントで一緒だったH子ちゃんと一年半振りの再会。
トロントでは独身だったけど、今は結婚して優しい旦那さんと幸せな毎日を過ごしている様です。
でも、この人　海外志向が強過ぎて、その優しい旦那に海外勤務しろ～、海外勤務しろ～って
日々プレッシャーを掛け続けているそうですわ。
1年半前は、一緒にマレーシア　ペナン島に行ったんだけど、
変らず元気だし美人さんで良かった良かった。

I stayed in Tokyo at 6th night because I will go to business trip from 7th early morning so I met H-ko-chan in Tokyo, we’ve been in Toronto together, after an interval of one and half year.

When we were in Toronto, she was single but now, she has got marry and could get very good kind husband and happy life.

BUT! She has too much ambition of living foreign countries so she always gives big pressure to the good husband “let’s move oversea” let’s move oversea”.

I really sympathize and worry him because of the big her pressure.

One and half years ago, we went to Penang Island in Malaysia together and she is still healthy and beautiful nothing change from before. 

肋骨ヒビ I got crack on my rib

先週日曜日10/28にヤマハ剣道部部内リーグが有り参加しましたが
我がDチームは、まさかの3位。ワシの成績は2勝1引分でマズマズ。

しかし、その日の晩から右腕と右胸に強い痛みが・・・。
翌日、腕には大きな青タンが出来ていて、なるほどこれか。
と痛みの原因に納得。
ところが、右胸の痛みは筋肉痛と何か違う。
水曜日になり、明らかにこの骨が痛い。と感じる骨が有る。
午後半休を取り病院へ。
レントゲンの結果は、大きなヒビは見つけられないけど症状から
言って肋骨にヒビが入っていますね。との事。
でも、渡されたのは湿布のみ。これでヒビは治るのか？？？
しばらく剣道はお休みです・・・。

Last Sunday, 28th Oct, I was entry to Yamaha team competition but my D-team was, don’t say, third position.

My result was 2 wins and 1 draw so it was so so.

But at the night, I had pain in right arm and right chest.

Next day, on my right arm, I had blue mark so I could understand the pain reason on my right arm.

But in my right chest, I feel pain more and more and the pain is absolutely different as usual and I could really know pain in actual one bone so I got day off and went to hospital on Wednesday.  

I took roentgen picture and big crack was not found but doctor said my symptom is absolutely crack of chest bone.

But doctor gives me some of poultices only….

Can I really recover with the poultices???

So I have to absent Kendo some of days….

Can you see poultice on my right chest?
