'No My Car Week' Oct 18-24th

Hello!- from SIC
[Eco project in Matsue] "No My Car Week" (Let's go to work using public transportation instead of cars)
Term: October 18th (Mon.) ~ October 24th (Sun.)
Though "No my car day" is usually set on the 1st & 20th of every month in Shimane, it is implemented in Matsue for a week this time.
・All local buses in Matsue are available for 100yen a time during the week. 
・Rental bikes set in 4 places within the city are available for free. (take-it-here and leave-it-there service)
Let's try it at least one day for ecology and health.

[Trendy expression] "Kikan-gentei 期間限定"= current specials (for a limited time only)
Recently, we often see this expression all over the shops especially for foods. These words arouse our interest and/or appetite.
There are lots of harvests in fall season, fruits, vegetables, rice, nuts.... Restaurants and food shops make and sell something special "Kikan-gentei" using these flesh foods. So, when we see one, we feel like we should eat or buy now!! Otherwise we may never get it!!
There're also "Basho-gentei 場所限定" (=sold in a specific area only) goods.
