Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I suppose entrance ceremonies are being held all over today? In Iwakura City, Aichi Prefecture, a junior high school held its entrance ceremony.

This is a follow-up to the previous post on installing load-bearing plates for self-drilling rock bolts…

Iwakura yakisoba has a miso flavor…
