bankrupt

do you know what this mascot character is?

recently the biggest school teaching English in japan was bankrupted.

the school is "NOVA".

i hear this manager learned at Europe about management .

his theory is increasing the branches here and there in japan.

for them, a lot of teachers from foreign countries was employed .

the newspaper said " it was just only 3 days that they was got the lectures for teaching "

wow....... and the qualities of teachers were down. but the branches increasing was kept.

so the students are decreasing , so more branches ...............lol. and bankrupt.....

i am afraid of the teachers and students . a manager must make oneself responsible.

there is a proverb in japan.

you should not do too much , everything is good of moderation.

i think so.

japanese pronunciation

most of all Japanese can't distinguish the difference of pronunciation "R" and "L".
there is four methods to describe letters .
"kanji" "hiragana" "katakana" and "romaji"
海     うみ      ウミ   umi

"romaji" is used for words coming from foreign countries .

this method is the description that japanese pronunciation translates to english's .
japanese has 51 basic pronunciations.

there is "R" in them. but in real not "R" but "L".
maybe there are'nt "R" pronunciation in japanese. i guess.
but we were educated using "R".
so all of japanese pronounce using "L" in stead of "R"at speaking enlish . i think.

fall in toilet

oh my shit! i wonder there is an expression. hahaha.

of course not me, but my cell phone.

then my brain is clear, nothing in the memories in the phone.
numbers , address, e-mail- address all pass away. cry.............
no back up.

my cell phone is a prepaid style phone which have to buy a card, and input the ID.
my cell phone remained of 13000 yen right for call.
well i went to a shop that were sold it , negotiated to put the right on the new cell pone.
but couldn't . wowowowow. I would throw 13000yen away?

i never give up...... again i tried to do...... but the answer was very bad, and rude,
i was getting anger, "your attitude is very rude for a consumer and i have the right i would get " said to the clerk.

then she went back to the boss. and came to me.

" sorry we will lend this phone , and add on the 13000 yen paid "

"it's ok." I said. i was satisfied

but there were a strange thing in my heart.

if I gave up , came back to my home....... 13000 yen nothing.

i guess, japanese is stupid, certainly japanese is very polite and don't insist themselves
mainly. especially at paying.

i am not stupid, just poor ...........oh my god.

more than for 30 years


I have been to my home town the other day.
my mother , who is 87 years old this year, lives there alone.
she is very good and powerful.

it was the fan that i looked at when i was a junior high school student.
wow before 40 yeas ago.
by the way recently in japan we had a problem.
the fan made by sanyo corporation , made more than 30 years ago,

cause from it. wow my god.

daimonji

show the bottom six pics . do you know what these are? have you ever seen ?
these are fire on the five mountains in Kyoto.
Kyoto , which was established in 794 by Kanmu emperor, is one of the oldest cities in japan. it has a lot of temples and beautiful gardens.

well these fire ......... for what?

it is the ceremony that we see our ancestor spirits off.
they come back to each home from the heaven in august 13 and go back 16.
it seems this ceremony has been continued from almost 794 .
in those days there were no electricity . all of around us was deep dark, only moon light.
the fire are coming out in dark.
i wonder what ancient Japanese think of then.

where will japanese go ?

my Singapore friend and me chatted the other day. about walking speed. haha
and an escalator too.

he said to me " why do people in Tokyo walk so fast ? and why do Japanese make vacant space when you get on the escalator ?”
surely people in Tokyo walk very quickly.
i guess the walking speed in Tokyo is the fastest in the world.
i wonder how people in the world do.maybe not speedy.

recently we Japanese used to make space on one side to climb the stairs  when getting on
the escalator. because of busy people. haha.
i don't know when we would do such a behavior though.
when i was child, we didn't do so. we would usually get on and wait for reaching the upstairs.

where do Japanese go so fast ? despite of narrow nation........

this is an old catch copy in public.

i wonder where we go.

maybe go to the death oh my god.
