We had dinner with live tropical music played to us at Palmero. We didn't stay for the fireworks, as the commune back to home would be troublesome. Instead Sis went home early and I stayed out trying to catch a shiny Delibird with no luck. When I was spinning poke stops and a bug landed on my head very sharply, I think it was trying to lay eggs on my head on NYE. Ew. I smacked it off me. Then I saw people light up fireworks from their backyards. So, this is legal then? It was a pleasant surprise alright. Overall, an eventful night.
Odd, but true. Not all middle school students in #Japan have a monthly transit fare, and some of them still insists on buying the fare over the counter. Apparently, the self serve machines are too confusing to use. #discovery— Melly Tango (@melpucca) 31 January 2019
Day 14: took @sngo1982 to #ASPAM #Aomori cultural centre to have brekkie and watch tsugaru-shamisen performance. Sis can shape snow into ❤️. Wow. Then we are off to the next ice town. To be continued... pic.twitter.com/Pd6t4Ryllt— Melly Tango (@melpucca) 31 January 2019

Bus stops with multiple bus lines issues. When the first bus has arrived at the bus stop, it doesn’t mean nobody wants to hop on the second bus. There needs to some form of alert for bus drivers indicate potential patron. #auspol— Melly Tango (@melpucca) 11 January 2019
In #pokemongo “Network error 2” plagues IRL smartphone players and not so much the spooofers, who play via PC with back door API access. This evening was well spent.— Melly Tango (@melpucca) 11 January 2019
