Ok! It’s time to go! Quick, quick, we have a plane to catch!

Com’on, close your luggage, let’s go!

Wait! What’s that in your luggage, the white fluffy stuff there!?

Oh….. It’s mini! (our cat)! Haha… Oh, she wants to go with us! 😘😘

No…. She just likes the feeling of being surrounded…. She won’t even notice that we are gone if her food is sufficient and bed is warm…. 😁😂😃

That’s fine. Love you as always, mini! We’ll miss you even if you don’t…. 😊😊

夏日將屆，炎熱不再，涼意漸顯。讓我以這一篇冰品，告別今年的夏天吧！

台北捷運東門站周邊，是就知名的永康街商圈。自從信義線通車之後，信義路慢慢恢復活力，展現出全新的姿態，永康街一帶的熱鬧，慢慢擴大到週邊，是近來我們頗喜歡去消磨假日或晚上的地方。

稍微走一下，就可以走到中正紀念堂去，遛小孩。走回來，吃喝都很多。永康商圈內，可逛可玩的也不少。

難怪房價這麼高，哭哭，買不起，除非Steem漲上一百刀…. :~

這一家綠逗薏人，是連鎖店，但我唯一吃過的一家，就是東門站這一家。而且，這個夏天，去吃了好多次了。

蠻用心裝潢的….

也明確告訴你他們賣什麼….

店內座位不多…

賣些什麼請客倌自己看看吧！

這隻小手手說要吃介個～～～

看起來有沒有好吃啊！嗯，我覺得這一家超好吃的呢！

那天吃什麼我也忘了，反正就是那些東西的排列組合之一啦！^^

我常說我不喜歡吃甜點，但是這一種天然的，大概算是例外。我不喜歡的是製造程度比較高的，例如烘焙類的，但是這些紅豆綠豆薏仁等等，只要煮得好吃，其實我還蠻喜歡的，所以，這也是為何常到這一家吧！～～

再見了！夏夜的永康街東門站，我們明年夏天再見吧！

電視新聞報導說，香草產量大減，造成價格大幅飛漲，現在比銀還要貴！！什麼！也太誇張了吧～～是那個香草嗎？

我查了一下，其實五月就有這新聞了，當時就是說比銀還貴了… 可見都半年了也沒改善哪！

香草價格漲到比銀貴 冰淇淋業者苦撐，這篇報導說，世界香草產量有75%產於馬達加斯加呢！這真是也依賴度太高了吧！電視則是說是因為墨西哥砍伐森林，造成香草產量下降，可見墨西哥也是重要產地…

看一下香草豆莢吧，好酷，這麼老了，都不知道香草長這樣呢！

香草因為太常出現了，幾乎很多甜品，尤其是跟奶有關的甜品，都會有香草口味，所以，我老覺得它很便宜才對… 還好，我並沒有多愛香草口味，其實是因為，我老是覺得香草就是原味啊！

香草變貴了，我想香草口味是不會變少見的，因為什麼！？答對了，人類科技很強啊，化工技術都多成熟了，香草香精，那可不是調一調就可以用上一年呢！呵呵～～

所以，我也查了一下，發現，似乎人工香草精的使用是否有礙健康，也其實不一定，說不定還有點好處啊！

食品真相大揭密（一）香草精

來來來，喜歡香草的客人們，還是盡量吃吧！享受一下自以為比吃銀還高級，其實也就是化工原料的美味吧！哎呀，都說了沒健康疑慮的，盡量開心地吃吧～～～

Since I will be traveling soon so I used some time to do a little homework and I found this article about top cities in the world for crypto spending.

According to this news report -

Check Out If You Can Spend Bitcoin Before You Book Your Next Holiday

from other source which has done some research on this topic, the crypto spending friendly cities of the world are …

Top 10 List

1. Prague, Czech Republic (154 Venues)
2. Buenos Aires, Argentina (130 Venues)
3. San Francisco, USA (111 Venues)
4. London, UK (102 Venues)
5. Madrid, Spain (97 Venues)
6. Arnhem, The Netherlands (86 Venues)
7. Bogotá, Colombia (85 Venues)
8. New York, USA (80 Venues)
9. Vienna, Austria (79 Venues)
10. Berlin, Germany (77 Venues)

European cities and US cities are no surprises, South American cities are doing well too! To my disappointment, there is no Asian cities top the list. Originally I also thought Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore may appear there… (I know very well that Taipei definitely isn’t crypto enough). Well, I will try hard to find some places that accept bitcoin in Tokyo when I travel there…

So far I have done some homework and on my list are :

• The Pink Cow
• Ark Akihabara
• Sushi-Bar Numazuko Ginza 1st
• BICQLO
• Hostel bedgasm
  (keeping digging….)

By the way, let me add @kafkanarchy84’s comment to my post here too… some overlap but his list is definitely more accurate than what I found on internet…

Two Dogs Taproom, Roppongi. - Foreign owned, English friendly, BTC and BCH accepted. One of my favorite spots!
Sushi-Bar Numazuko Ginza 1st - Great sushi in Ginza, pay with Bitcoin!
Any Bic Camera electronics store should accept Bitcoin, I think.
The Pink Cow in Roppongi. Accepts BCH and Bitcoin. Right across the intersection from Two Dogs, mentioned above.
NEM Bar - Small little bar near Shibuya that accepts all kinds of crypto currencies. TV displays current market prices. Total nerd hang out! Love it.
St. Arnould - Out of the way little place that accepts various crypto’s for food and Belgian beer. Owner is a Japanese guy originally from Nagoya. Very cool cat.
Royal Plaza 2F, 2-13-8 Akasaka

I won’t try everyone but I will definitely keep them on my mind and try to visit them when I have time…

It’s possible that some of them already stop this payment option, as things in the crypto world change too rapidly, haha!

Anyway, do you agree with this list of top 10? I’ve only been to Prague and Vienna on this list and when I were there last year, I actually did not see many stores accepting crypto, but I did not do any research then and again… things change quickly as well…

大家好啊，剛好今天早上看到兩篇文章，都談到了一些本平台隱而未顯的前進路線，沒有具體答案，只有猜測跟…. 期待吧！？看來， 11月開SteemFest前，不缺話題，之後，應該可以一路連接到SMT什麼新的開發動向之類的吧… 希望明年大家能過個好年啊～～～ 咦？離題了….

第一篇是關於我們的新朋友RC

Sneakpeek: Delegation Pools

那真狼先生，觀察到一些官方人士的發言，似乎有要開發關於RC的代理池的概念… 既然一切都是揣測，我也就不去細究，有興趣的可以看帖子，裡頭有些線索…

總之呢，HF20創造了一個新的可能價值來源，RC，於是乎，有用途的東西，你用不完，別人可能需要，於是乎，就會有人去創造市場，如果system design能夠調整的話，就會便於所有人交換來交換去的… 總之呢，SP，除了指揮新增貨幣的流向外，現在多了可以使用區塊鏈的權限，於是，似乎，理論上，更有價值了… 斜體的才是重點啦！^^

下一位！第二篇，近身觀察船長老大發言，所得到的線索…

@ned Designing A New User Interface??? Not Steemit!!!

這位仁兄，也很關心船長的每個發言，發現一件可能的動向是…. 未來可能會以另一間公司（非Steemit Inc.）來開發另一個Steem的UI，且包括移動版本… 作者相當期待這個（未被證實的）動向，認為老大很熟悉未來Steem鏈的一些發展，強調迎接海量用戶的HF20又已到位，這個新的UI很值得期待…. 至於Steemit是否仍存在，就變的很微妙了…. 喂！八字沒一撇呢！說不定根本都是誤會…. 呵呵呵，當成八卦，聽聽就好啦！～～～～

Me and my family are going to visit Tokyo from next week and we are gonna stay there longer than a normal tourist would. We are gonna do so many things! So excited! One of the privileges of being a Steemian is that you get to meet local people when you travel abroad … So, I already feel welcome as some Tokyo Steemians will arrange a meetup with me! Wow! It would be my first meetup outside Taiwan … Can’t wait!

So, before I go, I would like to gather more information (esp regarding crypto) from the lovely crowd on this platform so I can experience the most out of this amazing city … Ok, if you happen to know something about my questions please do share with me! Thanks in advance!

• Any good source of information (need English version of course) about spending crypto in Tokyo? Restaurants, cafes and shops? What apps do I need to install?
• Good instruction about withdrawing Japanese Yen from a Bitcoin ATM? Map would be good too…
• Anything or anywhere about crypto that you recommend exploring beside the above?
• Any crypto-related companies that might want to hire me?

Haha, seems all are about crypto! I have long heard that Japan is friendly towards crypto and I am gonna find out myself from this trip if it is really so… Last, I don’t really need any tourist or restaurant advices, but if you insist, I don’t mind seeing them too.

Thanks guys! I will be sharing my whole trip everyday pretty soon … You can follow this tag #dean-tokyo to keep track of my trip notes and photos. お先に失礼します (osaki ni shitsurei shimasu)

CN區朋友們好，

對啊，美女下週要去東京玩囉，帶著一家子去，會過上一陣子喔！訪親兼假裝東京人，不是，不是旅客，旅客太遜了！呵呵，身為Steemian最大的好玩之處在於，你到世界各地都可以找當地的Steemian碰面，會像是老朋友一般可以聊很久吧！這次，已經有日本朋友在幫我安排聚會囉！真是開心哪！會是我第一個海外見面會呢～～（說的好像自己是明星一樣）

總之，是相當期待喔！但在出發前，希望能夠先廣泛搜集情報，如果有對東京很熟悉的朋友，我想問問一些跟加密貨幣相關的問題，如果有人能分享，那就很感激囉～～

• 哪裡可以用幣消費？需要先下載什麼App嗎？例如餐廳，咖啡廳，商店等等…. 噢，好期待，又怕傷口袋～～
• 哪裡有BTM這種提幣機？我想嘗試的是用比特幣領日幣出來，除非價格太差啦～～
• 東京還有什麼跟幣圈相關的地方或事物值得去探索嗎？

原則上，我只想多問問這方面的訊息，其他的旅遊或吃飯等訊息，基本上不太需要，除非你很堅持要告訴我，那也謝謝啦！^^

哈哈，很期待！但這幾天還得忙，還得打包行李～～ 不過，很快，我就會從東京跟你們打招呼囉！如果你對於我的東京幣行有興趣的話，可以追蹤 #dean-tokyo這個標籤，我可能不一定會加 #cn，以免同一主題延續太久惹人嫌，但持續記錄這次旅程，也會是一個很有趣的經驗吧！^^

那，我先告辭囉！お先に失礼します (osaki ni shitsurei shimasu)
