Recent Updates

I quit RareJob lessons at the end of August, 2016. It was my 3rd anniversary of taking lessons. I thought it was enough because I am getting older and I don't expect any job opportunity with English related. We don't have any foreign neigbors in the countryside.

I have already uploaded many pictures up to now. I feel it takes me quite a lot of time to upload another pictures, so I started writing another diary.

Thank you!

Stamp Collecting Event in Akame Waterfalls in Mie Prefecture


Last August, I visited Akame Waterfalls as one of the stops of the sightseeing bus tours that I joined in. While we were there, I found a leaflet about a stamp collecting event. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join the said event as our tour only gave us 90 minutes to stay there and the event requires at least a 140-minute walk.
If ever I would get the chance to visit there again, I am very  much inclined to be a part of the adventurous walking event.

I found a leaflet about a stamp collecting event when I visited Akame Waterfalls last August.  I went there by one of the sightseeing bus tours, and stayed there only 90 minutes. 
 
To participate in the event, it requires at least a 140-minute walk, so I was unfortunately unable to experience it, but if I have a chance to visit there again, I am very much inclined to the adventurous walking.

In my previous entry about Shiso City, I wrote about a “leisure walking event” which is similar to this one.
 
I wrote about "a leisure walking event" in Shiso City in my previous entry, this was a similar one.

I would like to show you something similar to the “leisure walking” event. In Mie prefecture, they have another event called “Stamp collecting”. The instructions are basically the same but in “stamp collecting” the participants are not limited to walking. The use of vehicles such as, car, train, etc are allowed. However,  the roads in Mie Prefecture were not wide enough for the use of vehicles so participants just have to walk in order to collect the stamps.
 
I would like to show you one of the examples of a walking event.  When we visited some waterfalls in Mie Prefecture, they offered a game called "a stamp collecting event."  A stamp collecting event includes visiting the places by car or train.  "A walking event" and "a stamp collecting event" are quite different in words (ex. a walking event is limited by walking; we include walk, bus, train, car, etc in a stamp collecting event) but the system of both games are similar.

I would like to explain what is written in the leaflet.  
On the upper left side (Picture No. 1), the map shows four places marked in red. A particular stamp can be found on each location.  The visitors/participants are encouraged to visit all of these places and get their leaflets stamped on the empty circles provided on the right side of the leaflet (Picture No.2).  As for the fifth stamp, this can be obtained by visiting some of the shops located at the entrance of the waterfall. After collecting the all five stamps, please visit the office or send the proof/leaflet through the post office by doing so, you'll have a chance of winning a big present."

"As you can see on the upper left side (Picture No. 1), the map shows you four places in red color.  You can find a different stamp in each of them.  Please try to visit those places and press the stamps in the leaflet on the right side (Picture No. 2).  There are five circles on the leaflet.  You can find the fifth stamp by visiting some of the shops located in the entrance of the waterfall.  After collecting the stamps, please visit the office or send us the proof through the post office.  Then you'll have a chance to win a big present from us."
 
I'm writing this blog to improve my English skills.
