查資料大阪周遊卡說各車站、飯店、旅客中心都有賣，住宿地點對面就是7-11應該有吧?他們沒聽過!旁邊就是日航飯店，問問看吧!也沒有，不過倒是熱心的幫忙查了，說是難波車站的i應該有，我知道啊，可是還要花一趟車錢，進入心齋橋地鐵站想說日本販賣機甚麼都賣，應該售票機有賣大阪周遊卡吧!結果看了老半天看不出所以然，只好問一下站務人員，嘿嘿!他說沒賣這種卡，他叫我們去站長室問問看，呵!呵!原來外國人才會買，所以機器是不賣的，站長說他還剩下一些大阪周遊卡，好險，賣給我們它也沒剩幾張了。

大阪周遊卡包含一張磁卡車票和一本小冊，並分一日劵(2000日圓)或二日劵(2700日圓)，二日劵僅限外國人購買，如果時間許可二日劵是更好的選擇，而我們只買一日劵，有一點規劃不良。

2012七月溽暑，帶著家人和同事一家，一起完成心中一直存在的夢想—到京都去晃晃，對京都一直有一種難以言喻的鄉愁，感覺不是上輩子就住在那裏，不然上輩子就是唐朝宋朝的人，總之京都對我具有極大的吸引力。

7/11一早高鐵到桃園，搭上統聯的接駁車(票價NT$30)，約20多分鐘抵達第二航廈，直接先到3F日本(JL)的櫃檯辦理登機，我以往只有在第一航廈出國的經驗，對桃園機場的印象不是太好，這次在第二航廈稍稍讓我改觀了。

我帶的體育班到了高三下學期，在校內上課是同學痛苦老師也痛苦，就想安排一些校外參觀的活動，讓同學好好認識居住的城市，我們的第二站來到高雄捷運公司的行車控制中心，可以好好了解高雄捷運這個城市的大動脈，最近油價高漲，搭乘捷運是個好選擇。

行車控制中心先拍張照，有圖有真相

今年(2012)春天南部地區特別潮濕，好幾天家裡的牆面簡直像瀑布一般，實在非常受不了，決定要採購除濕機，經過幾天的爬文，鎖定了兩款品牌，三菱和日立，家裡的冷氣清一色是三菱的，但是三菱的除濕機真的有點貴，看看日立的功能和外型覺得還不錯，就到各電器行詢價，沒想到問到的都是缺貨，有一天晚上有一家電器商來電說剛到貨兩台，二話不說立刻去載了回來，價格接近12K，試用了幾天，真的是好物，給大家參考。

拆開紙箱囉!

有一天中央電視台的報導標題是:中國人民喜迎油價上漲，今天看這篇文章，真是太有文膽了!

油價又漲了，記者上街走訪了各界群眾。

某街道居委會主任孫大媽掩飾不住興奮的心情，對著記者侃侃而談：我本來就最恨那些開私家車的，每天都要在他們車上劃幾道吐口痰，這下好了，發改委的領導給咱老百姓出了口氣，咱老百姓打心眼裡支持！是該讓他們出出血了！

人民醫院的朱醫生翻開手上的資料向記者反映說：自從油價上漲，用汽油自焚自殺的人減少了13.25%，這是發改委關愛百姓健康創建和諧社會的重大舉措！只是現在喝農藥自殺的人明顯增多，建議發改委考慮大幅提高農藥價格，力爭跟國際接軌。

豆腐渣建築公司的包工頭裘老闆面帶憂色地告訴記者：現在中石油中石化的工程越來越不好做了，每次的預算報上去他們都嫌太低，合同還沒訂，95 %的工程款就打過來了，因為每年的額度來不及花完，真讓我們工程隊為難啊。

某銀行職員候小姐說：最近中石油和中石化每天的營業額劇增，我們銀行的工作人員天天晝夜加班加點，數錢數到手脫臼也沒有一個人有怨言，因為我們知道，如果沒有中石油和中石化為國家創造了大量的稅收，哪有我們老百姓今天的幸福生活啊！

的哥季師傅眉飛色舞地告訴記者：這幾天天氣燥熱，誰也受不了，這不，漲價讓廣大的哥的姐從頭到腳透心兒涼，真是一場及時雨啊！

現在手機上有許多app可以提供教學或學習者所需，無論是在iphone和android的系統上，越來越多軟體公司願意開發各式各樣的教學或科學用軟體，其中地球科學因為更貼近日常生活，所以，所開發出來的軟體非常多


系列之一先介紹頗為實用的地震通知程式


系統: Android
程式名稱:earthquake!


網址:http://market.android.com/details?id=com.radioactiveyak.earthquake


QR cdoe:

這個程式主要是依據美國地質調查所觀測的地震資訊所提供的即時地震資料，會依據時間顯示偵測到規模3.0以上的地震。

點選後，會帶出地圖，會標示震央的位置，可以放大查看更細的位置

若是長點(約1秒)列表上的資訊，會跳出一個小視窗，並啟動連結到USGS(美國地質調查所)，可以啟動瀏覽器，看到該次地震更詳細的資料。

連結到USGS的網頁，地震的資料非常詳細

大陸的友人寄來一封信，對中國官場的諷刺真是一針見血，值得觀摩!

悟空徒兒：
那天正在開會，沒有接你電話。會場有監控，有些事電話也說不清楚。

回想取經路上的艱難困苦，沒有你，為師早被妖怪吃掉變成肥料了。我知道，你是一個有思想、有魄力的人，現在卻受了這些委屈。西天取經你確實成績突出，這些都屬於過去了。時代在變，光靠本事是不夠的，我們都要與時俱進啊！

四個徒弟中，白龍馬他爹是西海龍王敖剛，標準的“官二代”+“富二代”，取經回來才幾天，就被任命為東海常務副市長。上次邀請我去調研，那排場比我這個天宮政協副主席強多了。八戒和沙僧是下派來掛職鍛煉的，不但官復原職，昨天常委會還全票通過了明確為正局級。

你是從石頭縫裡蹦出來的，沒有背景、沒有資源，必須靠自己勤奮努力。不要看不起八戒，為人處世上要向他學習。他現在如魚得水，上層路線走得好，在女幹部中也很有影響力。上次公推優秀年輕幹部，你只得了2票，1票是我投的，另1票是你自己投的吧？八戒得票卻遙遙領先，據說嫦娥都給他投票了。形勢變化太快，為師都感到不適應。老實巴交的沙僧也搞了個“流沙河沙石公司”，那個採砂船烏央央的一大片，悟空你還別看不上眼，老沙可是日進斗金哪，看了讓人眼饞，許多人都想分杯羹，但旁人連水都潑不進，因為玉皇大帝發話了由老沙專營。現在他和七仙女同居，跟何仙姑也有一腿，光房子​​就有幾十套。

現在google和fb這麼盛行，加上智慧型手機的推波助瀾，雲端幾乎是下一個網路科技一致的目標，但是隱私權呢？我們的生活會不會被天上那朵雲看得一清二楚？雲端上的不是慈祥觀照我們的觀世音、上帝或是阿拉，而是日夜注視我們的行為並不斷分析的科技大神？

以下這段會是笑話還是惡夢？
