Japanese Title (邦題)： 「大好きです、北九州のオバちゃん！」末尾に
What a lovely lady you are!
Good morning to the World and Kanmon!
We keep having hot day in Fukuoka pref. Japan. Yesterday, this year’s first midsummer day in Japan seemed to be recorded in Kurume, a southern town in Fukuoka.
Temperature over 30 degree C or that of midsummer day means that we are already in extremely hot summer.
In such hot days, good news was that my parents finished their second shots of COVID-19 vaccination.
But the vaccination is also very hot in this town, Kitakyushu!
It surprised us very much that a news about the hardness to make reservation for vaccination in Kitakyushu.
Suddenly I heard the voice of Kitakyushu dialect from TV. “Don’t you feel sorry for letting so many senior citizens make line in front of city hole every day?”
“Vaccination Reservation reopened but many people cannot make in Kitakyushu” NHK
I think that many other senior people want to get her back, when they were watching the news.
It must be terrible that only 4 people out of bunch of people who made line the day, mustn’t it? If the trouble happens this week, many senior people must get heat shock.
When I support my parents to make reservation, I had no problem and everything was very smooth. So I admired office of Kitakyushu very much. But it seems that the trouble happened after that.
It was so close as usual. If they studied OMOTENASHI hospitality, that trouble might not happened.
Thank you and you have a nice day by making your imagination fully working, specially in case of no manual and no past examples.

大好きです、北九州のオバちゃん！
世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。
おはようございます。
暑い日が続いています福岡県。南の久留米では全国初の真夏日が記録されたようです。
この時期で、３０度超えとか、真夏日なんて、すでに酷暑でしょう。
暑い中でも最近良かったことは、自分の両親の二回目のワクチン接種が終わったこと。
ただ、そのワクチン接種でも熱いのが、この北九州市！
全国版のニュースにわが町のワクチン予約の困難さが報道されたのには驚きました。
突然テレビからチャキチャキの北九州弁。「毎日毎日あんた年寄りにこんな並ばして、あんた心が痛くないんかね？」
「ワクチン接種予約 ３日ぶり 再開も多くの人が予約できず 北九州」NHK
きっと市内では「言っちゃり、言っちゃり」とオバちゃんにエールを送った高齢者も多かったのではないでしょうか。
大勢が並んで、予約できたのがたったの４人はちょっと不味いでしょう。今週なら熱中症で倒れた人もいたかも。
両親の予約や接種に接して、一度目の接種時に二度目の予約が出来てスムーズで、当初は北九州市やるじゃんと思ってたのに、、、
いつもながらに「惜しいっ！」わが町でした。 すこし「おもてなし」を勉強する方が良いのかもね。
それでは、事例やマニュアルのない時は、想像力を働かせて相手の気持になって素敵な一日を！
