Oggi abbiamo dovuto abbattere due alberi.

Bedside Italian

Bedside Italian #4 - Il funerale del mango e il trasloco della vaniglia.

“Concentrating, especially when i need to really hit the books, or work on an assignment with a deadline is something I can say I’ve honestly had a big problem with over the years,mainly because of the distractions caused by my mobile phone. I often racked my brains on how to best deal with the problem as it was really interfering with my studies.  However, one of my classmates who also had a similar problem recently recommended an app to me, which he absolutely swears by, and told me how it has helped him so much.

The app in question is called Forest, and the main idea, as well as setting it up is as easy as pie. You open the app, and say you want to plant a tree,and then you put the phone down. If you lift your phone or open another app after this your tree will die. However if you can last 25 minutes, your tree will live, and you can then aim to build a whole forest.




As simple as this app is, I have found it to be a massive help in improving my concentration, as well keeping me from being distracted by my mobile. It has definitely made me become more productive in my studies, and I now get my assignments finished on time, without having to stay up all night burning the midnight oil. This very simple app has really been a godsend and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who finds their mobile a distraction.

〈#2〉きつねの鳴き色は？

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.
