One thing struck me as strange -- the poster states that you can learn イタリア語、フランス語、ドイツ語、中国語、and 英会話. So you can learn Italian, French, German, Chinese... But you can't learn English. Instead, you can learn "English Conversation". I don't get it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 more days until the first anniversary of this weblog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big surprise is that on the anniversary, I'm planning to close down the weblog. Seems like a good time to me. For everybody who's been reading, thanks for your visits. I'll post in Japanese tomorrow and Sunday. Enjoy the weekend.

type='text'>Friday's English</title><content type='html'>Here's a request about comments: when I post in Japanese, I hope people write comments in Japanese. When I post in English, you can comment in English (if you don't feel comfortable with English, Japanese is always OK, but keep in mind that if it's fancy, complicated Japanese, I probably won't be able to understand it...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main thing I want to avoid is English comments about Japanese posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saw in the online newspaper today that &lt;a href="http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20060630p2a00m0na012000c.html"&gt;25% of Japanese junior high and high school students suffer from sleep disorders&lt;/a&gt;. I've often wondered how Japanese people can fall asleep so easily on the trains. Maybe this is part of the reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday I watched a junior high school boy falling asleep on the shoulder of a stranger (a middle-aged man) on the train. The man was irritated and he often jerked his shoulder up to get the boy off his shoulder. But the boy always leaned to his left again and ended up on the man's shoulder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I would do the same. But if it's a cute girl, maybe I would let her sleep peacefully... &lt;br /&gt;;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

It may be &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/underrated&amp;r=67"&gt;underrated&lt;/a&gt;, but it's tasty and has a nice fruity, malty "nose".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's my &lt;a href="http://blog.arekao.jp/keiko/archive/145"&gt;favorite toy lately&lt;/a&gt;... I learned about it from some of my students. Iemon presents are awesome. When it's too &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/muggy"&gt;muggy&lt;/a&gt; to open the window, I hang it from my air conditioner (but that's probably cheating).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: in searching for Iemon info, I noticed this &lt;a href="http://cp.contrex.jp/pc/index.html"&gt;"slim &amp; beauty"&lt;/a&gt; campaign. Makes me &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/chuckle"&gt;chuckle&lt;/a&gt; -- because this is one of the really weird things for a native speaker: making a slogan that has an adjective and a noun together.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-115105262435710113?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt=''

type='text'>Friday's English "Rainy Season"</title><content type='html'>Well, it's 5:18am... Woke up at 4, tried to go back to sleep but couldn't because I was listening to the girl upstairs stomp around. She looks about 50kg, but sounds about 100kg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of good news lately! It's rainy every day, so the rainy season is here. To the Japanese readers, yes, I know the "official rainy season" doesn't start until the "Japan Ministry of Rainy Seasons" says it starts, but hey, it's rainy every day, so as far as I'm concerned it's the "rainy season".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, I'll try not to be in a bad mood... I'll tell you a funny story. At one of the places I teach, there are young students. From the beginning of the classes I've told them that I can't speak Japanese. But from time to time I accidentally let slip something in Japanese and whenever I do they freak out and start screaming "HE SPEAKS JAPANESE! HE JUST SPOKE JAPANESE!" but I deny it and make that Japanese gesture, waving my hand back and forth (almost looks like waving goodbye), saying "no, I can't speak Japanese".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, not such a funny story...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should be happy because all the rain is bringing plenty of mushrooms, but I haven't been mushroom hunting lately. Ah, what to do this weekend??? Maybe a nice bottle of &lt;a href="http://shop.yumetenpo.jp/goods/d/yokohama-sake.com/g/103/index.shtml"&gt;kudoki jouzu (くどき上手)&lt;/a&gt; will inspire me and lift my spirits... Maybe if I drink it, I'll meet &lt;a href="http://www.blitter.com/~nonavee/images/colour2.jpg"&gt;a girl like this&lt;/a&gt;. ^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

In my Japanese language textbook, it said that such long holidays are the best time to wander around Tokyo, because everybody is off to someplace else (maybe the textbook was actually talking about Obon...). But it doesn't seem to be true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Mister Donut, an older lady tried to cut in line in front of me. This happens often here in Japan. Usually, I let it go. But today I was in a bad mood, so I said "chotto ii desu ka?" and ordered. What do Japanese readers here think about people breaking in line in front of you??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyway, I got my 3 cafe au lait okawaris at Mister Donut. And I talked to a girl from Aomori (visiting Tokyo) who was studying English next to me. She said she likes Disneyland. I guess most Japanese people do, right? But it's strange, I'm an American, and I don't have much interest in Disneyland...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Morel front, I found a small one by Sengawa yesterday. I think I scared the obaasan walking by me. I said, "konnichiwa". She nodded. Then I said, "kinoko wo mitsuketa" and pointed to it. She looked scared. Then she saw it and said, "hontou!" Yesterday, many Japanese people looked at me like I was a &lt;a href="http://www.city.shinagawa.tokyo.jp/jinken/today/foreign.html"&gt;"kowaihito"　(note the racist big nose - you see this often in school textbooks)&lt;/a&gt;. Maybe it was &lt;a href="http://www.e-famosos.com/contenidos/fotos/bruce_willis/bruce_willis_19.jpg"&gt;because I hadn't shaved&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.e-famosos.com/"&gt;from

type='text'>Morel 旅行 Part 1</title><content type='html'>土曜日、朝６時。昨日少し準備しましたが、まだ終わっていない。７時１１分の電車乗る前いろいろしなければ成らない。パッキング（風袋？？英語のpacking for a tripと言いたい）、シャワー、インタネットで天気チェックして。。。昨日Yahooジャパンでは雨だって。でも外に見たら、良い天気です。じゃ、雨の場合はしょうがない、先週車の予約したから。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今週末西の方へ行きたいです。去年行った、&lt;a href="http://homepage2.nifty.com/kinokoyama/fungi/kinoko-index.htm"&gt;すばらしい&lt;/a&gt;所の&lt;a href="http://yatsugatake.net/webring/"&gt;八ヶ岳&lt;/a&gt;に行きたいです。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;パッキングについて、いつも無印良品ノートに書いたリストを見る。たとえば。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;食べる：&lt;br /&gt;オートミール&lt;br /&gt;ラーメン&lt;br /&gt;水ボトル/フィルタ&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;もちろん、リストは英語で書いた。見出し（？）ヘディング（？）は"eating", "sleeping", "relaxing", "clothing", "walking", "various", "fishing", "travelling", "shrooming".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;橋本駅に着いた時、駅からレンタカー屋さんまで歩きながら、この旅行の一回目のビックリ事があった。金髪ギャルがいて、一人を見て、彼女と僕は一緒にニコニコした。本当にビックリしました。普段はそんな金髪ギャルは私に興味がないと思って、LV鞄とか、他のわがままなことだけ興味あると思いました。でも違う。やっぱり、みんな違う。みんな自分の性格ですね。旅行はまだ初めてないけど、もう習う。&lt;div

Not really, I'm being &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/facetious&amp;r=67"&gt;facetious&lt;/a&gt;... A "paper rustler" sat next to me. You know the type: and older Japanese guy who makes a lot of noise with his newspaper. But this guy today was great. First, he dropped down onto the seat (like children do), maybe trying to shake everybody else on the seat. Then he stands up and does it again -- drops down as violently as possible. Then he took out his newspaper and proceeded to beat, smack, fold, crease and otherwise punish his poor innocent newspaper, trying (I guess) to announce his presence to the other passengers by making as much noise as possible. Bad newspaper! (SMACK!) Bad newspaper! (RUSTLE...SMACK!) Tokyo is always exciting. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Neco, on the Morel front, I saw several by Shinjuku Gyoen (not &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt; the gardens, &lt;a href="http://map.yahoo.co.jp/pl?nl=35.41.7.287&amp;el=139.42.39.876&amp;la=1&amp;sc=2&amp;CE.x=379&amp;CE.y=302"&gt;but around here, on the walkway just outside the gardens&lt;/a&gt;) today. They were a little old, not so fresh looking, but still interesting to find. (And to &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/perplex&amp;r=67"&gt;perplex&lt;/a&gt; people watching me, trying to figure out what the hell I was looking at.) ;-)&lt;div

type='text'>Friday's English (Plane Trees/Shinjuku Gyoen)</title><content type='html'>Sorry I'm not writing much these days. Well, I'm not writing much here, but I'm writing elsewhere... ;-) Let me know if you're angry and want me to write more here - and want me to write more in Japanese. :-o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to pick up my paycheck today. Then wandered into &lt;a href="http://www.shinjukugyoen.go.jp/english/english-index.html"&gt;Shinjuku Gyoen&lt;/a&gt;. I always go back to the &lt;a href="http://www.shinjukugyoen.go.jp/access/img/gyoenmap.gif"&gt;"French Formal Garden"&lt;/a&gt; and imagine that I'm in the &lt;a href="http://www.infoparis.com/all/present.php?rub=299&amp;fi=21&amp;PHPSESSID=fd1c01f189d80fcf1ba97ac1b07d09dc"&gt;Luxembourg Garden in Paris&lt;/a&gt;. (If I were in Paris, maybe I would imagine being in Shinjuku Gyoen!) I like the &lt;a href="http://www.interq.or.jp/sun/freetime/130hana/platanus/platanus0302.html"&gt;Sycamore trees there (plane trees)&lt;/a&gt;. Especially now in winter with no leaves, they give me the feeling of &lt;a href="http://www.westgatehouse.com/sycamore.JPG"&gt;Europe and winter&lt;/a&gt; and make me nostalgic (懐かしい). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had seen them before, but today I saw the &lt;a href="http://nekonomestill.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-693.html"&gt;parrots&lt;/a&gt;(?) again(ワカケホンセイインコ). I was sitting on a bench in the French Garden area and heard them. Then they flew and perched on the sycamore tree near me. One of the parrots went into a hole in the tree. I think they have a nest there. It made me happy to see them and it reminded me of my ex-girlfriend who had a parakeet (インコ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: apparently, &lt;a href="http://www.shinjukugyoen.go.jp/camera/camera.html"&gt;Shinjuku Gyoen has a webcam&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-114139248033713068?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/114139248033713068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=114139248033713068' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114139248033713068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114139248033713068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/03/fridays-english-plane-treesshinjuku.html' title='Friday&apos;s English (Plane Trees/Shinjuku Gyoen)'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-114121364547644267</id><published>2006-03-01T20:16:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-03-01T20:47:27.686+09:00</updated><title type='text'>釣りシーズン</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.fujigoko.co.jp/Fishing/kawa.html"&gt;今日からマス釣りできます&lt;/a&gt;。でも僕は今日はレッスンがあったから、明日&lt;a href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9B%B8%E6%A8%A1%E5%B7%9D"&gt;大月へ&lt;/a&gt;釣りに行きます。本当に久し振り。。。毎年同じ釣具店で釣り券を買います。オーナーのカップルはとても優しくて、毎年釣りシーズンのポストカードをもらいますから。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;明日の持って行くもの：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cabelas.com/products/Ccat370004.jsp"&gt;釣竿&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fishingwithstyle.co.uk/northcountry.htm"&gt;フライ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mianustu.org/hats.htm"&gt;キャップ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4102010211/249-9670758-2798754"&gt;本（でも英語のバージョン）&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/nanjanet/img10101726522.jpeg"&gt;安いワイン&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wakaz.lolipop.jp/gazou/bata-ro-ru.jpg"&gt;パン&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.meinyu.co.jp/product/cheese_butter/tokachi_camembert/"&gt;カマンベール&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-114121364547644267?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/114121364547644267/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=114121364547644267' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114121364547644267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114121364547644267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/03/blog-post.html' title='釣りシーズン'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-114078709173472455</id><published>2006-02-24T21:58:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-24T22:18:11.960+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday's English Horror!</title><content type='html'>Yes, HORROR! Well, I was just thinking of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932234004/002-5603008-1946416?v=glance&amp;n=283155"&gt;Koji Suzuki's novel "Ring"&lt;/a&gt;. I've never seen the movies, but I found the book in English at the Setagaya library. I read the &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/dust+jacket&amp;r=67"&gt;"dust jacket"&lt;/a&gt; and it was very interesting - he wrote the novel while being &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085970/"&gt;"Mr. Mom"&lt;/a&gt; with his daughters. Before that, he was a "cram school" teacher and told scary stories to his students and they enjoyed the stories. While his wife was working as a school teacher, he stayed at home to take care of their young daughters. With his daughter on his lap, he worked on "Ring".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That "story behind the story" is almost as cool as the horror story about "the ring" itself. If you haven't read the book, you should. I've heard it's quite different in a few ways from the movies. Quite different in very, very interesting ways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: apparently, he &lt;a href="http://japanreview.net/interview_Koji_Suzuki.htm"&gt;likes Hemingway's stories&lt;/a&gt;, too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-114078709173472455?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/114078709173472455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=114078709173472455' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114078709173472455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114078709173472455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/fridays-english-horror.html' title='Friday&apos;s English Horror!'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-114053242447344772</id><published>2006-02-21T23:20:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-22T00:09:26.546+09:00</updated><title type='text'>漆って。。。</title><content type='html'>普通はブランドにはあまり興味がないけど、&lt;a href="http://www.st-dupont.com/jp/collections/briquets.html"&gt;S.T.

Anyway, finally on Tuesday I got my latest package from &lt;a href="http://www.northerner.com/"&gt;"The Northerner"&lt;/a&gt;. I ordered &lt;a href="http://www.northerner.com/html/snslswm803.html"&gt;Ettan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.northerner.com/html/snslgstv-1051.html"&gt;LD Original&lt;/a&gt; with bergamot (like &lt;a href="http://www.englishteastore.com/earlgreytea.html"&gt;Earl Grey Tea&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://www.northerner.com/html/snslgell-landstroms.html"&gt;Landströms Grov&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.northerner.com/html/snslswm822.html"&gt;Göteborgs Rapé&lt;/a&gt;. The Göteborgs Rapé is especially nice (note that it's not the English word "rape", but the French word "Rapé"!), because it has oils from &lt;a href="http://www.ashcreekimages.com/FoliageJuniperFrost.html"&gt;juniper berries&lt;/a&gt; in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Göteborg: a couple of years ago I met a Japanese/Swedish girl at the Circle-K here in Setagaya. She was kind of cute. I asked her to say "Göteborg" and when she said it, with the Swedish pronunciation, it was really interesting and sexy. ^_-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Kさん asked me to write about snus. She said, "be sure to write that it gives you a buzz!" The online dictionary says this about "buzz":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;   1. A state of pleasant intoxication, as from alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;   2. A state of stimulation or overstimulation, as from caffeine.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another friend, Tさん, always nags me to stop using snus. She thinks it's as dangerous as smoking cigarettes. Well, cigarettes are much more dangerous. But I guess snus is still not "healthy". But anyway, Sweden is one of the only countries where the cancer rate is falling. People think it's because Swedish guys use snus and quit smoking. All the other European countries still have higher rates of cancer. Probably because so many people smoke (like in Japan).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-114009333871229259?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/114009333871229259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=114009333871229259' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114009333871229259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114009333871229259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/fridays-english-bad-habits.html' title='Friday&apos;s English &quot;Bad Habits&quot;'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-114009215893430771</id><published>2006-02-16T21:08:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-16T21:15:59.066+09:00</updated><title type='text'>日本の冗談？？</title><content type='html'>妻っないから、つまらないです。&lt;br /&gt;家内いない。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-114009215893430771?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/114009215893430771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=114009215893430771' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114009215893430771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/114009215893430771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/blog-post_16.html' title='日本の冗談？？'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113975864359938432</id><published>2006-02-13T00:32:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-13T00:37:23.693+09:00</updated><title type='text'>横浜</title><content type='html'>今日久しぶりで、横浜に行ってきました。元町の近くにあるアメリカ人（カナダ人？？）のスポーツバーで飲みました。面白いのは、彼が「いらっしゃいませ」と言った時「What the hell did you say!?」と聞こえた。。。;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-113975864359938432?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/113975864359938432/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=113975864359938432' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113975864359938432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113975864359938432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/blog-post_13.html' title='横浜'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113949108514134527</id><published>2006-02-10T15:31:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-10T15:37:20.850+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday's English Valentine</title><content type='html'>So next Tuesday is Saint Valentine's Day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I'll get some chocolate from my students. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day"&gt;wikipedia page&lt;/a&gt; has some interesting history. I learned that here in Japan, there's not just "girichoko" (chocolate given to male co-workers by women, out of obligation), but also "honmeichoko" (chocolate given out of true love). I hope I get some of the &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/latter&amp;r=67"&gt;latter&lt;/a&gt;... ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wikipedia page says that Valentine's Day in Japan is a result of marketing. It's interesting that in the states, Valentine's Day is for both men and women to show their love for each other. But here in Japan, it's mostly for women to give to men. For my native English speaking readers (all three of you ;-), the Japanese &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/confectionary%20"&gt;confectionary&lt;/a&gt; companies also managed to create a second holiday - "white day", when the men can return the favor by giving sweets to women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I didn't know was that there is a "black day" in Korea, when men who were &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/spurn"&gt;spurned&lt;/a&gt; on Valentine's Day can drown their sorrows with noodles in black sauce (see the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day"&gt;wikipedia page&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back when I was a child, Valentine's Day was when you gave a card to a girl you liked and revealed your love for her (and &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/vice%20versa"&gt;vice versa&lt;/a&gt;). To me, this is more romantic than chocolate, especially "girichoko". But I like chocolate, so I won't complain about "getting some".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-113949108514134527?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/113949108514134527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=113949108514134527' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113949108514134527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113949108514134527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/fridays-english-valentine.html' title='Friday&apos;s English Valentine'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113939688581664865</id><published>2006-02-08T20:18:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-08T20:22:25.573+09:00</updated><title type='text'>梅まつり</title><content type='html'>もうすぐ梅ヶ丘駅の近く、羽根木公園の梅が咲いていますね。１９９８年の冬初めて日本に来ました。バレンタインデーぐらい。最初の週末彼女と一緒に羽根木公園へ梅を見に行きました。その日はまだ雪がありました。夜は下北沢に行って、初めてお好み焼きを食べました。じゃ、&lt;a href="http://allabout.co.jp/career/clerk/closeup/CU20030204A/index.htm"&gt;バレンタイン&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href="http://www.city.setagaya.tokyo.jp/cgi-bin/sisetu/sisetu.cgi?mode=view&amp;no=209"&gt;梅まつり&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href="http://www.fujigoko.co.jp/Fishing/kawa.html"&gt;渓流釣りの解禁&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href="http://www.ken-on.co.jp/sakura/"&gt;さくら;-)&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href="http://kinokosaibai.livedoor.biz/archives/13375680.html"&gt;アミガサタケ&lt;/a&gt;。。。楽しみにしています。^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-113939688581664865?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/113939688581664865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=113939688581664865' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113939688581664865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113939688581664865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/02/blog-post_08.html' title='梅まつり'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113918312264892871</id><published>2006-02-06T08:03:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-02-06T08:49:53.393+09:00</updated><title type='text'>眠気スッキリ！</title><content type='html'>最近アメリカのオタク（geeks）の中で人気ある：&lt;a href="http://www.lotte.co.jp/products/gm03.html"&gt;ブラックブラックガム&lt;/a&gt;。 &lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/news/images/0,2334,63009-11774,00.html"&gt;Wired Magazine &lt;/a&gt;で紹介されたと、&lt;a href="http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/TAJ001"&gt;いろんなウェブサイトで&lt;/a&gt;売っています：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Lotte Black Black Gum: A great chewing gum with a strong, minty flavor that's designed to give you a lift and wake you up, this popular gum is loaded with caffeine."(from &lt;a href="http://www.jbox.com/"&gt;J-box&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;特に "loaded with caffeine" の英語が好き。後はLotteの"Hi-Technical, Excellent Taste and Flavor"も面白い。先週ぼくも買いました。でもカフェインがたくさん入っているからじゃなくて、別の興味ある物入っているから。（&lt;a href="http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2005/12/blog-post_14.html"&gt;前ポストを書いたね&lt;/a&gt;） -

It's a novel about &lt;a href="http://www.castleofspirits.com/vlad.html"&gt;Vlad the Impaler&lt;/a&gt; (I think), who was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

type='text'>目立つ？？</title><content type='html'>今日、仕事の後八王子へショッピングに行きました。３０分ぐらいしかなかったが、私のことは目立つかなァ。。。だって、３回他の人が「彼を見て」って感じを分かりました。１回目は女子大学生と思う。２回目は５歳ぐらいの男の子。彼は「ハロー！」と言って、私はニコニコして「Hello」と言いました。彼「バイバイ」。私「ByeBye」と言いました。私はフランス人じゃなくて、ドイツ人じゃなくて、スウェーデン人じゃなくて、イタリア人じゃなくて。。。英語を話せる人だ、彼はすぐ分かった！^_- ３回目は5/6歳ぐらいの女の子。ずっと私を見ていて、お母さんに「見て！」と言いました。どうしようと思って、ニコニコしました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;なぜ女子大学生の場合何もしなくて、子供の場合ニコニコするか？私も分かりません。&lt;span class="continued"&gt;&lt;a

style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Wondering if I stand out... because while I was shopping in Hachioji today, I noticed 3 different people pointing me out to their friends/parents. (I hope it's just because I'm a little tall!?!) First were two college-age girls, I think. Second, was a little boy who greeted me "hello" and "goodbye" within a couple of seconds. (He knew by looking at me that I was an English speaker! ;-) The third was a little girl who stared and stared and when I looked back at her, said "Look!" to her mom. I smiled at her, but she didn't smile back... :-( Now if I can just learn to smile at the college girls, I'll be in business!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-113810400437923924?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/113810400437923924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=113810400437923924' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113810400437923924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113810400437923924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/01/blog-post_24.html' title='目立つ？？'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113797782315573996</id><published>2006-01-23T18:17:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-01-23T18:33:47.410+09:00</updated><title type='text'>ハーブプレゼント</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8136/1293/1600/Rucola.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8136/1293/200/Rucola.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="100" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;先週キャンベルスープを買った時、このハーブのシード（タネと言う？）をプレゼントで付いていました。「Rucola」って知らなかったが、少し調べて、英語では&lt;a href="http://www.uni-graz.at/%7Ekatzer/engl/Eruc_sat.html"&gt;「Salad Rocket」と言います&lt;/a&gt;？！？ちょっと&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8136/1293/1600/saladrocket.jpg"&gt;珍しいと思います&lt;/a&gt;。じゃ、このハーブを育てるかなァァ。。。&lt;a href="http://www.karappo.co.jp/herb/herb_ours/lukkora.html"&gt;おいしいんだって&lt;/a&gt;。&lt;a href="http://www.rucola.co.jp/"&gt;レストランもあるか&lt;/a&gt;！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="continued"&gt;&lt;a href="http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/01/blog-post_23.html"&gt;English below the fold...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I find some interesting things attached to products here in Japan, given away as presents.

But out of sheer boredom, I opened my J-textbook last Saturday (btw, it's not "Japanese", it's "The National Language", as it's called in schools here, positively Orwellian - imagine bold, patriotic music). I use "Japanese for Busy People" ("Japanese for Getting Busy"??) but just through osmosis, I seem to have picked up a lot of the vocabulary in the lessons I'm too lazy to study. But one word I hadn't picked up was "tsugou", which apparently means convenience, like "if it's convenient, I'll come over now". Anyway, these new words are tough to remember*, so I usually try a little &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://mappa.mundi.net/cartography/Palace/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"memory palace"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;trick to remember them. In this case, I came up with the corny scenario of a fast food joint clerk asking if the order is for here or "tsugou"? Yeah, it's corny, but I haven't forgotten it yet. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;＊"humberger"?!?! Ebenezer Scrooge visits McDonald's??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Especially the words with the old Chinese reading are tough for me to remember, since there are so many homonyms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14332772-113741445476540816?l=setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/feeds/113741445476540816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14332772&amp;postID=113741445476540816' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113741445476540816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14332772/posts/default/113741445476540816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/01/for-here-or.html' title='For here or 都合？'/><author><name>ryecatcher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18407734129674050095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14332772.post-113728611566894224</id><published>2006-01-15T09:31:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2006-01-15T22:31:36.863+09:00</updated><title type='text'>うるしもみじノート</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8136/1293/1600/lnotes2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8136/1293/1600/lnotes2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12月からこの(最後の？）うるしノートを作っています。先週終わりました。&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32081704@N00/86611815/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Flickrではもう一枚の写真&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;を見れます。もしこのうるしノートはきれいに成ったら、売ることができると思ったんですが、すごく時間掛かったから、１０回くらい塗らなければならないから、大変でした。左のはTさんにあげる、右のは自分で使うと思います。何を書くかなァァ。^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="continued"&gt;&lt;a href="http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2006/01/blog-post_15.html"&gt;English below the fold...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Since December I've been working on these lacquered notebooks (maybe my last).

From time to time, I've been lazy. But (according to Blogger) this is the 100th post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a lot of people read this weblog - maybe about 30 people a day. But to those of you who come and read, thanks for your support! I owe a special "thanks" to &lt;a href="http://mochi.blogs.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Mr. Mochizuki of HappyLife&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; because he linked to here and quite a few people click that link and come here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming up soon:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;the fall edition (a little late...) of "lacquered Muji notebooks" (not &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://setagayanobeikokujin.blogspot.com/2005/11/poor-mans-update.html"&gt;poor man's moleskines...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;more &lt;a href="http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/kawachi/img10161344966.jpeg"&gt;Absinthe in Tokyo&lt;/a&gt; (found a new location of one of my favorite liquor shops)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and (maybe) "Truffles in Tokyo" (not the chocolate ones)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Japanese people may be interested in some of the things I like here in Japan, especially food. Many of my students and friends are surprised that I like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natto"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;natto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Yes! It's true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And many people laugh (why?!?) when I say that I like &lt;a href="http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=814831"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;manju&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
