deep fall

fall is gradually coming to japan.

the leaves are turning into red or yellow.

on the grand a lots of leaves, look as if they are a carpet.

the right picture is a temple in Kyoto.

i found it at net surfing. your countries have turning color trees?

japan has four seasons , winter, spring,summer, fall.

i love fall the best. because........... all foods are very delicious. hahahaha.

and a temperature is very comfortable for people.

japanese love nature. these weathers bring us lots of admiring sense for nature maybe.

so long time ago, people had lots of Gods ( never only God). for example mountains , water fall, big trees, big stones etc were admired as Gods.

oh my god! hehe.

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.

謝謝

whats this? what do you guess?
i guess , its a cat! ..... sorry Fred its joking.

this is the card that my Singapore friend Fred sent me.
it is a beautiful card and handmade in detail , from Vietnam.

this card carried me happy and health.

especially warm filling from Singapore friendship. He is very nice guy , kindness , gentle,
clever........ are you satisfied, Fred? hehehe.

Singapore and japan are so far. but your friendship is just next to me.
my friendship is just next to you.

thanks for your card. it is sure I will become happy!!

but i guess its a cat ........ oh my god.

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.
when i entered into the living room , i noticed an old fan.
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,
the left pic.
the fan made a lot of troubles, for example the old couple passed away for fire , that was
cause from it. wow my god.
well.......... i wonder my mothers house. i worry .......
but in the other point , i am proud of japanese machine. and japanese technology .

it is working for more than 30 years..................mmmmmmmmm

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.
