iPhone in a Bathroom

Apr 23, 2016 14:42
After I moved to my new apartment, I came to immerse in a hot bath frequently.

Since I have to use a large amount of water to prepare a bath, I want to soak in the bath for a long time, but it's a little bit boring.

Therefore, I came to bring my iPhone in a ziplock to the bath, and enjoy dramas.

If you close the zipper of the ziplock, it will become waterproof, and you can touch the screen through the ziplock.

However, when you go out of the bath, condensation could occur within the ziplock.

In order to prevent the condensation, it's recommended to suck out the air in the ziplock by using a straw.
お風呂でiPhone

私は新しいアパートに入居してから、よくお風呂に浸かるようになりました。

一度お風呂を準備すると大量の水を使うので、長く入っていたいのですが、ちょっと退屈でした。

そこで、ジップロックに入れたiPhoneをお風呂に持って行き、ドラマなどを楽しむようになりました。

ジッパーを閉じれば防水になり、タッチ操作も問題ありません。

しかし、浴室から脱衣所に出ると、ジップロック内で結露が発生する恐れがあります。

結露を防ぐためには、ストローを使ってジップロック内の空気を吸い出しておくと良いそうです。

     That is funny!
I suppose many people do this nowadays. I personally like to take a bath to clear my mind. The part about sucking the air out of the bag made me laugh, hahaha.

Yes, if I didn't know this, my phone might be broken :)
Timmy
Yeah, Apple phones are not very durable when it comes to water.

  • After I moved to my new apartment, I came to immerse in a hot bath frequently.
  • After I moved to my new apartment, I made it a point to frequently immerse myself in hot baths.
     If you want to use immerse, use it this way.
  • Since I have to use a large amount of water to prepare a bath, I want to soak in the bath for a long time, but it's a little bit boring.
  • It takes a long time to draw up the water required for a bath, and since I also like soaking in the bath for extended periods, it can get a bit boring.
     I think your English is sufficiently good to understand my corrections.

    To draw up = to prepare water
  • Therefore, I came to bring my iPhone in a ziplock to the bath, and enjoy dramas.
  • Therefore, I began to bring my iPhone in a ziplock to the bath so that I could watch dramas.
     watch drama is more natural (for me)
  • If you close the zipper of the ziplock, it will become waterproof, and you can touch the screen through the ziplock.
  • The phone becomes waterproof as long as the zipper remains sealed, and this allows you to touch the screen.
     Just like Japanese drops many nouns and pronouns when it's obvious, you can do the same for English.
  • However, when you go out of the bath, condensation could occur within the ziplock.
  • However, leaving the bath results in condensation.
     It's pretty obvious where the condensation happens.
  • In order to prevent the condensation, it's recommended to suck out the air in the ziplock by using a straw.
  • To prevent that from happening, you can use a straw to remove the air contained inside the ziplock.
     I prefer remove over sucking. Because sucking sounds more crude.
We live in good times, don't we? Rather than worry about survival, we now worry about what drama to watch now. Life IS good. =)

Interestingly, though we all live better than the emperors in the past, suicide rates are not going down. It says something about the human mind and society.
Toru
Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
Yes, it might be a first world problem.

And as you said, suicide rates seem to increase (especially in Japan... http://lang-8.com/kanotown/journals/201200506476488379803500847465698908812).
Kwang Ming (クアン ミン)
Ah, I believe I read something like that before. Lately, America's suicide rate went up significantly. Still much lower than Japan though.

Japan's harsh work environment, high expectations and strong group-think might be factors for the high suicide rate. It's only a guess on my part. (as an observer)
Toru
Yes. According to a survey, the main reasons of suicide in Japan was health matters, but I also think the potential reasons are work environment and human relations.
