Jan. 7th Mon. - Stressed Out

It's a clear and beautiful afternoon.

I turned off the air conditioner and open the window after a while the freezing new year days.

But business doesn't go that way like this clear sky.

Things go bad way so far and I've been stressed out.

Jan. 5th Sat. - Dead New Year Days

This is the photo I took just at 5 o'clock in the evening.

This is the third shift of this year.

I haven't hoped or expected many rides and expected slow business but it's much slower than that...

You know, I bet that you shouldn't work new year days.

Jan. 4th Fri. ‐ New Year's Shift

A happy new year!

I started to work yesterday and today is the second day.

It's freezing air and fare...

Anyway people fail but we gotta learn from those failures.

I think I'm doing and moving a little forward.

VeriFone sued over in-taxi ad contract

http://newsandinsight.thomsonreuters.com/Legal/News/2012/12_-_December/VeriFone_sued_over_in-taxi_ad_contract/

Anyway, this advertising monitor in taxi should be applied to Japanese taxis.

There are huge opportunities "in-taxi marketing" here in Japan as not many taxis carry the system itself.

It's getting colder and they say furthermore freezing air is coming for Christmas!

December 19th Wed. - Siwasu

Last Sunday,16th, was the national election day and LDP, Liberal Democratic Party, slashed DPJ, Democratic Party in Japan.

I supported DPJ and they had supported us cab drivers.

I have no idea where we, Japan, are going but I'm kindof sure I'm going nowhere from here behind the wheel.

I just believe that things aren't going wrong way for us and cab riders.

It's December now.

People are moving around so that we are meant to have a few rides.

"December" is called "Siwasu" here in Japan, means that even teachers rush and run so busily.

Is it busy now?

yerr... so so.

December 7th Fri. ‐ Change The Tire

This morning before the shift I change the tires for this witer.

This year so far chilly wind blows earlier than normal year.

I'm a little down because I got a few stains on my winter coat...

Business is very very slow this Friday as expected.

December 5th Wed. - Election Week

Japanese national election has started yesterday.

The voting day is next Sunday 16th.

Election days tend to be slow.

This time doesn't seem an exception.

But as it was very very slow last couple days, today seems a little better.
