Is this your blog?
Yes, it is. Look at the green bar on the left-side column.
Live Traffic Feed
The list shows the recent ten visitors on my blog at the time.
Only ten visitors?
If you want to see more, then click the following bar in the above list:
Real-time view Menu
When you click the above bar, you'll see the following detailed list:
Wow!...there are so many visitors from various countries.
That's right. The above visitors came to my blog from 11:29 AM to 1:38 PM on April 24, Vancouver Time---approximately for two hours.
The visitor on the top of the above list is you, Kato?
Yeah, that's right. Under me is another Canadian visitor from Tronto. You can also see an American visitor from St.Louis, Missouri.
The flag seen under the American visitor is of France, isn't it?
No, it isn't. It is the flag of Thailand. The visitor came from City of Zapote in the state of Alajuela. Under this visitor is another Amerivan visitor from Bridgeport, Connecticut.
I see a visitor from Seoul of Korea.
Maybe, the above Korean visitor is learning the Japanese. You can see the French flag under the Korean visitor. The last visitor of the above list came from Liverpool of Britain.
Are you saying, Kato, some American and British visitors came to read your blog written in Japanese?
I can't tell for sure, but probably those American and British visitors are Japanese, who are family members of diplomats or Japanese employees working for the Japanese trading firms over there. In any case, my blog is located in the server in Japan while I'm writing articles for that blog from Vancouver, Canada. And visitors come from all over the world. The above list is only for two hours. Daine, do you know what I mean?
What is it?
Well, as soon as I've written an article, people from all over the world could read it. Let's suppose, Johannes Gutenberg printed a book some 500 years ago. It would probably take at least a year or two for the book to reach Japan or Canada. But now, as you see, people from all over the world could read my article in a jiffy after posting it on my blog. This is why I call this the Net Revolution...And another thing!
What is it?
As the above list shows, the Japanese visitors came to my blog from 3:29 AM till 5:38 AM (April 25)---most of the Japanese were deligently sleeping. You see, some Japanese net surfers are crazy. And some of them are after you, Diane.
You've gotta be kidding, Kato.
No, I'm not...I'm quite serious...'Cause you're becoming the Mona Lisa on the Net. He, he, he, he, he,...
【Himiko's Monologue】
Kato and Diane talked about the Net Revolution.
As you see, we're living in the age of the internet.
Apparently, English is supposed to be the language for everybody.
However, non-English speakers sometimes create a funny joke without knowing it.
Here are some hilarious jokes:
