Mina-san, Today’s location is クック諸島・クックしょとう・Kukku shotō - hello to all of our listeners in the Cook Islands!
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!

Funny and informative…as usual. Keep ‘em coming please!

Hello mina-san,
Thanks for the interesting lessons and new features!
About using a phone while driving, recent studies have shown even hands-free sets are dangerous. The difference with speaking with someone in your car is that, if the situation turns sour, your companion in the car will stop speaking, while the keitai companion will not, and will go on distracting you while you need all your brain cells on deck.
I don’t know if governments have acted upon that and banned all forms of phone and car driving combinations.
Wednesday at 2:10 am
I find people talking on a cell phone and walking bad. They walk as if they are drunk; making it very to figure what they are going to do; turn right, turn left, go straight or suddenly stop.
Wednesday at 2:20 am
Wow! I am glad I don’t use a cell phone in Japan. Sounds like it is dangerous over there. Almost a lethal weapon. Glad that Japan has put their foot down.
Peter-san, Will there ever be more in depth introductions to the great people there at JPOD101 in the “About Us” section. I know I have seen pics here and there, but I would love to know more about ya’ll.
I know I may not have said it in a long time, but I am really glad I found this podcast. You make Japanese learning fun. It is good to see the community here. Sappy I know, but very true.

みなさん。こんにちは!
ブラジルもうんてんしながら、けいたいではなしますをいほうですけど、ひとはそれをします。
Hello, people. I don’t know if I got thru what I wanned in Japanese, but even though it’s forbidden here, people usually do it the same way when police is not around.
Shophie-san
totemo omoshiroi jouhou desu! Very interesting information.
Very nice lesson today JP101!!!!

JPOD Team:
So, thanks, anyway.
You wanted to know whether this drama should continue? Well, as funny as that might be, no, actually, because how often would we need to use that in Japan? Never, we hope!!
Your stories are great! Keep ‘em coming!!
Sophie-san, very interesting, indeed!
Wednesday at 10:55 am
Troy-san, maido arigatou gozaimasu!
Sophie-san, very interesting. It is very easy to imagine how one can get easily distracted holding the phone to one’s ear, but the hands free info, it is very interesting. Arigatou!
Micheal-san, funny but true! Although legislation on that might be a bit difficult.
Nate-san, we’re working on it.
We’ve just had so many other pressing matters. We definately haven’t forgotten though.
Joao-san, thank you for that interesting piece of information! 教えてくれましてありがとうございます。
In Japan it is also prohibited, but not illegal, to use a cell phone while riding a train. Some people do use it, but it is frowned upon and sometimes leads to arguments.
Wednesday at 10:57 am
Peter-san,
Love and kisses!
I just missed you!
Wednesday at 11:11 am
Liz-san, must have just missed you. Input noted. I was hoping for a Prison Break series, but I guess not…
Wednesday at 12:27 pm
Nice wishful thinking there Yoshiさん!
Why is that while Peterさん respectfully referred to Yoshiさん and Natsukoさん with “ーさん”, they didn’t return the favor?
Please treat Our Peterさん™ with respect. よろしくお願いします!
I also want to hear about the hands-free situation. I want to get a Bluetooth earpiece myself. Yesterday, while at a stop light, I quickly listened to a message, and my wife got all over my case. Listening to this lesson was like déjà vu.
I think it must be legal. But, then again, Japanese rules can be やりすぎ。
Wednesday at 10:41 pm
I know what this is a little late but I what make a comment anyway, it is true is something very dangerous to talk for the cell phone and drive, In my country is somethig very common to see this and the number of accidents is very high.
The legislation issue is another problem I think, but I consider what the most important is what the people get conscientiousness about the risks of this behavior
Speaking about the lesson, very fun and useful, the grammar point was great!
Again, sorry for not write more often and on time!

Here in NYC is different though, Its ilegal you can get a ticket or pay a fee if your using your cellphone while you drive but you don’t go to jail like in the episode!
Nice audio I vote for hearing the end of the story! JP101 you should do a second part of it ok!

I also vote for a second part to this story. It would be very interesting to see Yoshi-san’s reaction after being so confident that he won’t get caught!
Awesome work, guys! I love your lessons. They are very helpful for me in learning Japanese.
どうもありがとうございます。

久しぶりのドライブは楽しいね。そうだね。もしもし、おー、元気。運転しながら、携帯で話してるの。違法だよ、捕まるよ。大丈夫だよ。捕まらないよ。それよりも、命の問題でしょう。
また、明日。
