Kumamoto. She is second woman governor in japan. She has been being governor of
Kumamoto prefecture since January 2000.
Women governor is rare in Japan, therefore I hope she appeal
Kumamoto and spread women's right.
・New local row
The new local row of
Kumamoto city was started in September 2007. It prohibit to throw away and smoke on the street. This row aims to make comfortable and safety environment as a sightseeing city.
Smoking with walking is too danger and bad for other's health. A cigarette is too hot, and a hand which has a cigarette and height of child are almost same. I think politician have to make more row which isolate smoker and non smoker.
If you break this row, you have to pay a fine.

So I like law horse meat than tuna. I usually eat to soak on the soy sauce. I also eat to drip on ginger and garlic and welsh onion. These are different taste. I don’t like lukewarm. So I eat coldly. Law horse food is to be the sushi. It is also delicious. Marbled law horse food is good taste very much.
