PASMO Card
P
ASMO is a convenient transportation system which provides railway, bus service
and other utilities. This system uses a single chargeable IC card (Integrated Circuit
card) to help passenger use services conveniently.
By TungND
PASMO card (Front side)
PASMO card (Back side)
The PASMO card is possible to make your life more comfortable when travelling on railway
(the metropolitan area), bus (in the metropolitan area), and paying as electronic money
(when making purchases at participating PASMO electronic money stores).
In railway travel, before IC cards are used
as nowadays, you have to buy a paper
ticket to pass a ticket gate. The ticket has
so many different prices for various
departure-destination couples. For
example, the transportation price from the
Shinagawa station (品 川 ) to the ShinKawasaki station (新 川 崎 ) is 210 Yen, it
means you should buy the 210-yen ticket.
If you buy a price-differed ticket (for
example: 150-Yen ticket), the ticket gate
will stop you from passing.
Paper Ticket
The PASMO card solved that problem. You don't have to care about ticket prices, only
make sure you have enough money charged in your PASMO card. When using on
railways,you just touch the PASMO on the reader of the ticket gate.
The reading section will flash blue and make a "pi" sound or "pi pi" sound when it has
finished reading.

Ticket Gates
In traveling by bus, a sticker will be displayed on buses which accept to use Pasmo/Suica
(also a type of card used in bus traveling) card. There are two methods of payment. You
can choose either payment before riding or payment after riding. For the former choice,
when getting on, passengers have to touch the PASMO onto the reader of the IC fare
machine. The fare will be deducted from SF (SF is the amount of money charged left in
PASMO card) and the users do not have to touch it again when getting off. For the latter
option, when getting on, passengers have to touch the PASMO onto the reader of the IC
fare machine. The passengers do not need to take a ticket. When getting off, they touch the
PASMO onto the reader of the IC fare machine and the fare will be deducted from the SF.
For paying after riding, passengers need to touch the PASMO onto the reader when getting
on and when getting off.
And about using PASMO card as
electronic money, when paying,
you tell the shop assistant that
you wish to use PASMO. You pay
just by touching PASMO onto the
reader of the terminal.
Remember to confirm the
payment amount when touching.
When using PASMO at an
automatic ticket vending
machine, you simply choose the
desired goods and touch the
PASMO onto the reader.
In that way, the PASMO card with
its multiple uses has become an
important part in lives of many
Japanese.

H
i, again. How have you been? In
the previous issue, I asked you to
develop printeeo() and fib(). Do
you have it handy?
Otherwise, stop reading and go back to
the back number and come back here
again when you are ready because it is
not fun and even harmful to read ahead
without your own solution.
Now that everybody here is ready to go, I
give you the third problem.
Problem3:
Finally, please make a function printeevfib() which works as if printeeo() but it uses
output of fib() instead of t[100]. Put it in one source file. The challenge is that how
you can reuse the code of previously developed in printeeo() and fib().
How will you do it?
#include <stdio.h>
//
// You import printeeo() and fib() here and modify if necessary.
//
void printeevfib()
{
// You develop it here.
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printeevfib();

Autumn,
what is the most special expression of autumn? The blue sky, yellow
sunbeams, and sudden rains...
Autumn! Some of us call it fall. And the latter name is believed to have originated not only
from the scenery of leaves falling from trees, but also from a reason that autumn is when the
sun falls down below the equator line in order for spring to be back again six months later.
Autumn has its own emotions. As warm as when we see friends around us, and
everyone are laughing, even singing small, when the head is no longer hot and easily
flashes as in summer. As cool as the office air becomes stronger, it appears the color
scarves, gently jackets, making us seem to want to embrace winter, and hug the litter girls
stooping in the chilly wind. As the sun drops sunshine on the hair, because people are no
longer worry to escape the harsh summer sun.
`
Autumn in TSDV
Autumn is also likely the first day of new school year, when friends gather after a long
holiday, when the seniors welcome the juniors. At TSDV, we also welcome new friends, too.
New friends like the cool rushed of wind into the space, lightly glide to your hair. They like
books we see firstly, and expected to be read one by one page, to find out, to reach the new
souls. There is a tall boy, there is a talkative boy, there is a slowly boy who love to see
everyone then smile… There is a cute girl with lovely voice, there is a personality girl with
sharp gaze, and girls are very femininity and graceful. The souls are waiting for us to
explore. However, autumn is also the season that former students make farewell to each
other, who will continue on this path, people will turn to another direction to find a new path
for themselves. There are people who have left TSDV to study, people choose a different
environment to change their feelings, and also people are go into business to Japan, call a
cultural exchange fun. But no matter what, then you will also have meetings on the class, in
which you will continue their lessons, tests, examinations of the season, those
assignments.

Autumn has its own colors. The
green of Cốm, a food which
is made from glutinous
rice with slightly
milk favor, then
is incubated
in lotus leaf,
wrapped
around by
yellow rice
straw. Cốm
is regarded
as a purely
pastoral gift.
To enjoy Com, it
is advisable to
chew its sweet,
fragrant taste. Visitors to
Vong village (about five km from
center of Hanoi) during the Com making
season will have a change to listen to the
special rhythmic pounding of the wooden
pestles against mortars filled with young rice
and see women shifting and winnowing the
pounded young rice. Autumn is also a
season filled with the color of yellow daisy
flowers on the bike around Hanoi. Other
special flowers are over all paths in Hanoi is
passion milk flower with white-green color,
small as little kids hands, but there are a lots
of inflorescence in trees. Their perfumes are
not the sweet ones. It's also not fragrant to
make a headache, but enough to keep in
mind of Hanoi people who are far away.
In Vietnam, spring is holiday season,
summer is tourist season, and autumn is
season of festivals. September has
Independent Day, the biggest and greatest
holiday. This is the occasion for every people
to spend their time with their family and
friends. Other special holiday is the day
every kids and even adults are waiting for. It
is Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. On this day
kids go shopping with their parents to buy
lovely traditional toys as star lamps with five
colorful wings, decorative multi-colored
lanterns with twinkling light, or glittering
crown for littler princess daughters. On the
occasion of the brightest moon in the year,

children rush out of the house,
hold toys and go as a line
of snake everywhere,
to see lion
dances, walk
and sing

and hear
about the
story of
“Uncle
Cuoi and
sis Hang
Nga”. In
returning
home, children
will be rushed to the
pile of fruit, confectionery,
especially moon cakes, and caged
pig cake with beautiful black eyes which
parents had prepared, the smiles will fill flee
during the night.
Let's walk into the street, for eating
lunch time, or the after leaving office, or
sometimes looking out the window, and at
any time, you will join the gentle autumn.
Autumn leaves
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear ole winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall…

ceremonies in Vietnamese culture. Wedding day is a really special day
not only for the couple but also for their families and relatives. Thus, it

ceremonies.
