[Macau local information]
From June 18th, minors between the ages of 12 and 15 can be vaccinated, and reservations are now accepted.

[Holiday]
This Monday, June 14th, was the Dano Festival in Macau.
This day has its origin in exterminating the plague, driving away the plague god.
On this day, we will do a dragon boat race and eat rice dumplings.
During the corona period, there were many areas where the race was canceled to prevent infection,
In Macau, a dragon boat race was held with no spectators.

There are various types of rice dumplings, from sweet to soy sauce.
Personally, I love soy sauce-flavored pork dumplings.

JTB BALI Sunday Market was held on June 13, 2021! We have decided to make effective use of the large site of the JTB office to contribute to Bali as much as possible, and to hold it on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. And on the day of the event, many tenants exhibited and more than 300 people visited us! Bali's famous organic vegetables and tofu shops, shaved ice, sashimi, Korean food, Indonesian food, batik clothes and natural soap, and ramen by a chef of a famous luxury resort. And at the kids corner, the children were having a lot of fun. Because of the corona disaster, I would like to liven up Bali safely and as a whole!

[Macau] As of today: We have achieved zero infectious people in the city for 444 consecutive days.
Regarding the number of vaccinated people (total of the first and second times): Over 180,000 people Residents in Macau District: About 700,000 About 25% of the total number of people have been vaccinated.

Almost 16 months have passed since February 2020, when the corona broke out in Macau.
From the viewpoint of infection control, immigration control is strict and foreign nationals are prohibited from entering the country.
It is a big blow to the hotel and tourism industries.
Macau itself is a tourist city, and the economy relies heavily on the tourism industry,
Is it the feeling of all the workers that there is no help for it?

Currently, only tourists inland China can enter Macau without isolation (medical observation period).
Still, PCR test (negative proof) is necessary, and 48 hours after the current test is valid.
If you plan to stay longer than that, you will need to undergo the PCR test again in the ward.

I have been in Macau for over a year in Corona.
Think positively as a good opportunity to rediscover Macau.
I would like to prepare for the recovery of the tourism industry in the future.

[I want to support Taiwanese farmers]

Have you ever seen a mango tree?
The fruit grows from the branch like this.
It seems that there are many house-grown mangoes in Japan, but Taiwanese apple mangoes are cultivated outdoors in the natural environment.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the natural tropical fruits that have grown up in the sun.

Please see the mango project from the link below your profile.
