十月三日(jyugatsu mikka): October 3

The bag arrived at Narita and they arranged to send it tomorrow. I wanted to have it today because there were some souvenirs I wanted to give tomorrow. Therefore I asked them to send the bag to the office.

There was danpatsushiki (断髪式) of ex-Yokozuna Asashoryu (元横綱朝青龍) who has retired in February. Danpatsushiki is a cutting hair ceremony. The hair style of the sumo wrestler is called oicho (大銀杏). There were 380 people joined to cut down his sumo hair style and there were about 10,000 audience watching.

十月二日(jyugatsu futsuka): October 2

Yesterday I sent the suitcase from the airport and it arrived today. I emptied inside and called another company to pick it up to repair. They will come tomorrow.
The airline company called me and said my bag was not arrived again. I hope to receive it by tomorrow.

At night there was a good news. Japanese Figure Skating team became champion at the Japan Open Figure. It is a competition among North America, Europe and Japan. Congratulations!
It is still first part of fall but the winter games have already begun.

七月十一日(shichigatsu jyuichi nichi): July 11

There was an election of the House of Councilors today.
Since I had to work I went to vote last week. This is called kijitsu mae tohyo (期日前投票), voting before the date. They say 12,086,491 people did that in the nationwide which is increasing 11.93 % than last time in 2007. This was the best in history.
Besides the election there were two big sports news. One is the opening of the Grand Sumo Tournament at Nagoya. Since there was a gambling scandal, they decided not to broadcast timely nor to give the emperor cup. This is quite unusual.
The other is the final match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa. Which do you support?
