JareMaga July 30 - High school baseball game

The last game of the preliminary local tournaments (yosen taikai) of Koshen is going to be played in Fukui today! 


(じゃれマガ 2012年07月30日号)
I was at home yesterday, so I decided to watch a high school baseball game.
It was really exciting.
Meiden, Ichiro's high school team, was playing Toho, another big baseball high school in Aichi.
Toho got one run in the second inning and another in the fifth.
By the ninth inning, it looked like they were going to win.
Then Meiden got two runs to tie the score.
They got another run in the eleventh inning to win the game.
Now they will go on to the Koshien.

JareMaga 2012/07/26 Olympics to start


The Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics will start on Friday at 9 p.m. London time.
That's 5 a.m. Saturday morning here.

Actually, the women's football matches have already begun. Last night, Japan beat Canada 2-1. The games will go until August 12. Some people I know want to watch everything. If they try, they may not be able to sleep for 2 weeks.

I want to see the pole vaulting, swimming and gymnastics. What are you going to watch?

Did you understand what happened to the author's wife? Have you ever had or heard about a similar experience? 

じゃれマガ 2012年07月10日号
My wife was going somewhere on her motor scooter. Suddenly, a bee hit went inside her helmet. It stung her just above her right ear. She was planning to go shopping, but the sting hurt so much that she had to come home. The pain went away after 30 minutes, but it still hurt when she touched it. Now she understands how painful a bee sting can be. She remembers our poor younger daughter who was stung several times by bees when she was small.

JareMaga July 6 - Divorce Ceremony

I've never heard of this before, and was really surprised! 

じゃれマガ 2012年07月06日号
One reader wrote:
I watched a unique ceremony on TV the other day. People have wedding ceremonies, but how many people have a divorce ceremony?  
The couple getting a divorce invited their friends and had a party. The master of ceremonies ("shikaisha") introduced their personal histories. Some of their friends said a few words. It was exactly the same as a wedding ceremony, but there was one big difference. They broke their wedding rings with a hammer. 
If you were invited, would you go?

Today is Independence Day in the U.S. People go to watch big fireworks displays, and they play with fireworks. Unlike in Japan, however, fireworks are very difficult to buy. In fact, they are only sold in summer at some stores. I checked one store, and their web site said that they would be open from June 29 to July 8. Why is it so difficult to find fireworks? Because many Americans think that they are very dangerous. Parents don't want their children to play with fireworks.

What Happens When You Deactivate Your Facebook Account

What Happens When You Deactivate Your Facebook Account:
"Facebook is a big part of millions and millions of peoples' lives, but what happens when you pull the plug? Last night I met a man who walked to the edge of the cliff and nearly deactivated his Facebook account. He took a screenshot of what he saw after clicking the 'deactivate my account' link on his account page - and it is pretty far-out."
