Today falls on setsubun. On this day, we grill sardines, which means to drive out devils by their smoke. We eat an eho-maki roll as well. It has been our custom since the old days, biting into a big sushi roll looking at the annual lucky direction without speaking any words until the finish. Besides, we eat parched soybeans. We eat one more bean than our age counting in the old Japanese way according to our hometown’s rule.
I got an iPhone 5. I kept Sony’s Xperia Android phone, but the iPhone is easier for me to use, and it offers a wider variety of accessories sold worldwide than Sony’s.
I haven’t got a Softbank nano-SIM card, so I went to the nearest DoCoMo shop to get a DoCoMo nano-SIM card for it, but they didn’t have any in stock. I visited other DoCoMo shops to ask for one, but none had it. Without a nano-SIM card, it couldn’t be activated, and it was just a small plate.
A DoCoMo shop in Tochigi-shi thankfully said they had a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5, although most DoCoMo shops in Tokyo said they didn’t have any. When I drove to the shop, there were dozens of people waiting in the queue. A shop clerk said I should wait 1.5 hours to be served, but I actually waited about 30 minutes before being served. I managed to get one, put it into my iPhone I had bought before, and had it successfully activated.
I’ve got a certificate that I’ve passed the ITILv3 Foundation exam, which I took last December!
I got a paper cutter and a document scanner so that I can digitise dozens of books I have in the bookshelf. I’m working all day to send them to the cloud.
