Hmm, but it didn't work, did it?
A news article said the number of people who visit 2ch hasn't been increasing,
and instead mixi and twitter got a little bigger than they were. 2ch is still the biggest, though.
Have you heard that Okada, foreign minster of japan, asked 2ch to delete descriptions about him?
After that, a huge number of people were banned because of him! He wanted to silence people who
bad-mouthed him or anything.. I thought Japan was a place where people enjoyed freedom of speech, but
DP has been quite authoritative after they won the election last year. How horrible.

My biggest issue with Hatoyama is that he's tying the party's fortunes to his own.
Hatoyama should probably never have headed up the DPJ to begin with once they won
last year. He has poor leadership skills and scandals in his past, and it seems like
he has trouble standing up to Ozawa. The DPJ needed someone charismatic like Obama
to make the public feel at ease. I'm not saying I like Obama's policies, but many
Americans feel that he is effective as a leader. Hatoyama seems afraid to offend
anyone, but that just makes people more angry; on the topic of Futenma, for example,
instead of satisfying some people and upsetting others with a clear, firm decision,
he's just disappointing everyone by doing nothing.
Some people would say that Hatoyama should step down now, but he seems to have backed
himself into a corner. If someone else had become prime minister to begin with,
there would be no complaints. But if he steps down now, people will cry that the DPJ
is just like the LDP, lacking in unity and constantly switching PMs. He'll probably
have no choice if the Upper House elections this summer go badly, but by then it
might be too late for the DPJ.
But then whom are voters supposed to support? Tachiagare Nihon...? I hate both big
American political parties, but sometimes I think the Japanese have it even worse.
By the way, are there other Japanese online forums where people discuss politics? There
are a lot of English-language forums for American political debate, and European
countries probably have some as well, but the only Japanese forum I really know about
is 2ch, and the writing style here is very different from the forums I'm thinking of.

About your first paragraph, yes, I'm for your opinion.
According to polls conducted this year, people feel frustrated and exasparated by his
political attitudes. What he says in the morning often changes in the evening. What do
we supposed to trust?
And about the second one, yeah, you described quite well what situation he's in now.
I'd call him a lame duck, even though it's 7 months after he became prime minister.
But 7 months is enough. Most people can't stand it.
What kind of forums are in your head? I have no idea how different it is - I mean, the
writing style here? What's that supposed to mean?

Come to think of it, it's not natural to have so many English schools here in Japan
because in most cases people usually don't need to speak it in their everyday lives.
Plus people don't have much money to pay for learning languages. It costs an arm and a leg.
46:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/04/21 15:57:31
>>44
It's not so much that I prefer one over the other. It's just that on
the forums I'm used to visiting, people make long, detailed posts with
lots of information and analysis. The debate usually proceeds in a
linear way, and everyone is expected to have read the entire thread
before replying. Of course, to keep the level of discourse high,
serious moderation is required. Thanks to those forums, though, I
don't have to read or watch regular news at all to have a good
understanding of things here.
On 2ch, things are more laid back and people often post just to
express their opinion on the first post of the thread without reading
the whole thing. Replies are also much shorter and more concise.
This is good in its own way, but it means you need a lot of background
knowledge to understand where people are coming from, and there isn't
the same type of deep analysis. If I didn't try to keep up with
news and editorials by reading Yomiuri Online, I probably wouldn't know
what people were talking about in many of the news threads here.
Anyway, thanks to >>42 for the suggestion. I'll check it out later.
>>45
That's definitely true, but I think if the basic level of English
understanding were higher, there would be more opportunities to use it.
It's kind of like a vicious circle where the lack of English comprehension
means that no one uses English at all so there's no need for English
comprehension...know what I mean?
With that said, I've heard that many eikaiwa are just ripoffs with
lazy teachers who don't care about their students, so it's only
natural that the industry should suffer until it reforms itself.

I don't think that you should spend alot of money on learning languages.
For most of the Japanese learners in particular, learning English is not a way of earning
money, or a way of becoming successful in other foreign countries such as the U.S.
They are learning it just because they want to, and it's just their favorite pastime.
For them learning other languages different from their own is a way to show off
their skills, which in turn means a way to shake off their inferiority complex they have
toward foreign countries. There is no need to spend a lot on such a purpose.
Personally I think they should be more confident in themselves as one of the superpowers
of the world, one of the biggest economies. lol

Japanese people learn English just to feel they are superior to others who cannot

Some of them have a certain level of proficiency, but their English doesn't appeal to me.
They might know how to speak, but I never get attracted to what they say.
I think they should enrich their knowledge about their own culture, their major in college,
and the world history before they memorize useless vocabulary.

It's not read as haraan but fukuan.
He didn't make clear what he intended by it today.
Since Hatoyama is loopy, he wants to use a new word he learns again
and again and again. He seems to think it's cool (and most of us think
it's hollow and empty. As you know, the loopy man used "zero base" quite often,
and it turned out it meant "zero idea" actually. He isn't the type of person

I disagree with those who claim "language learning is useless unless you use it".
That is such a flawed perception. When you learn languages, it is not only
the ability to communicate in that particular language. You learn "how to learn"
a language, it is a learning ability self-test. You also learn about a
completely different culture, which makes you appreciate all cultures
and reinforce your own sense of national identity. You learn that languages are
not isolated entities but they are interconnecetd with other languages
through human movement and interaction. You learn about how humans
interacted throughout the history and have a better view of the world.
When you go through difficulties of understanding how a language
works, you become more aware of other people's thoughts. That makes
you understand other people better. Overall language learning is a very important for personal
development experience, as a human being and as a citizen of this world.
In other words, learn any language you are interested in, keep on learning it to grow as a person.
Avoid any language learning if you want to be insular, inward looking, short sighted and biased.

I agree with this. Even putting aside the cultural aspect, learning a
second language is great mental exercise that you can't really get by
studying science or math. Studies have shown that children who learn
second languages early have increased brain power later in life because
their brains develop differently.
Of course, it doesn't have to be English. But most other countries
teach English, so you can interact with the most people that way. I
also think it's good to learn a language as different as possible from
your own. That's why I think Japanese is interesting, after all.

Hatoyama: Passengers, I have to inform you that I may be a poor pilot.
Airplane passenger: Don't pull our legs. You said you were better than the previous pilot,
and you just took over. Fine, you should quit and the next person can manage.
H: I'll do my best so I won't quit.
AP: If you wanna die, then die alone. Don't get us involved!!
H: I'll take it as rooting. Thank you for your support.
AP: We didn't mean to say we supported you!! Don't fly a plane if you're poor at it!
H: I didn't mean that. I said I "may be" a poor pilot and that doesn't mean I am.
You can't say I don't fly well until I land.
H: I'll make a landing before fuel becomes empty.
AP: At where? There's no airport you can land at.
H: There are many other places one can land an airplane than an airport.
You should understand my belief that we should consider every possible way.
AP: I have no idea what you are saying! Are you out of your mind?
H: I have a good plan in mind.
AP: What is it?
H: I'm sorry I can't say that.
AP: Did you consult with others?
H: Yes, I talked about 10 minutes.
AP: Did you get a permission from the control tower?
H: It's still up in the air. We should make a zero-base review.
AP: The plane will fall and crash while you are doing that!
H: I'll definitely land safely.
AP: I said where!!
H: It's fine today.

I think Prime Minister Hatoyama is made to step down when he fails to put together
a plan to move the Futenma camp to Henoko.
According to a famous broadcaster, Mr Aoyama, given the situation where Hatoyama quits,
there comes a chance Ichiro Ozawa will run for the presidency. That doesn't surprise me
if he tries to take over, since he's really authoritative.
I will feel really dark, however, to consider the case Ozawa rules Japan..

Hi, everyone, long time no see. I'm gonna write about my shameful mess in day before yesyerday.
Last Friday, In my university, at English class, my teacher(British) gave me a homework is to write
reports about George Orwell who is a famous British writer(He is well-known for the novels, Animal Farm,
1984 etc.) by next Friday(namely, day before yeaterday).
But,I misunderstood he is a professor in my university whom I have to hand in my reports(I'm a frog in the

about that in English).
So, I did my best to write about that on my notebook PC all night. Of course, in the day before yesterday's

Sunday all the limited time of comfort is for tomorrow
Monday I get into shoes, unable to even read paper
Tuesday accidentally see an old friend but don't want to talk to him for now
Live up to a Tokyo Life
Even when it rains, I can walk without opening an umbrella if I choose the way
I sometimes deceive myself in order to live my life with my feelings unhurt
Thursday because the subway line has been extended to your work place
Friday that lifts my feelings a little
Live up to a Tokyo life
No matter how much we like each other or believe each other
each of us has a say, can't even leave a trifle thing alone, end up
losing more important things
Saturday while I'm not satisfied, morning comes
Sunday I break my voice, calling you
I live up to a Tokyo life
It's just that you are around

"This is a pen." is the most notorious sentence which is a good example of poor English education in Japan back in
old days. Believe it or not, it was on an English text book in Japan used at school.
The common understanding is that this sentence was created for 7th graders who starts
learin English in Japan only for the sake of teaching students "This is ------." structure
but as you notice there isn't almost no occasions where you use it in real pracical situations, unless the pen has
an unusual shape like these USB memories. URLﾘﾝｸ(pc.watch.impress.co.jp)
If a pen has an unusual shape like the USB memories, "This is a pen" (even though it looks like sushi)"
can be used in a real setting, but "This is a pen." sentence alone with an illustration of a pen
on a page of Japanese English text book is a nightmare from a perspective of practical Engish use.
Everybody knows what a pen is and what it looks like so "This is a pen." is so artificial sentence
which you have no chances to use.
"This is Ken. Ken, this is Jenifer." are very practical example sentences because they
can be used when you introduce two persons to each of them, while "this is a pen"
couldn't be usd in a real setting except the cases like Sushi shaped pen.
>>113's response to >>112 doesn't make sense at all but I think the background
reason why he used "pen" just out of nowhere comes from this common understanding among Japanese
English learners of this stupid and notorious "This is a pen." sentence used in
a English textbook back in old days.
Fortunately, Japan's English education has focused a lot more on pratical use of
English for quite a long time, this type of stupid sentences just for the sake of teaching
a sentence structure without contexts are all gone.

Yea, I see your point.
By the way, I feel your sentence said a same thing again and again.
Is there more brief and good way to describe to what he said?
I often do the same thing in my writing.
so, I really want to know the way to compose precise and brief sentence without
repeating a same thing.

>>124
I was half kidding. I'm a native speaker, so what >>112 said would mean
that I wouldn't be allowed to post.
>>126
American students often have the same problem. It's tough to become
a better writer without a teacher individually correcting your essays,
but I guess my main suggestion would be to read over everything you write
again, constantly asking yourself "Does this sentence add anything?"
If not, delete it. A lot of people think of writing as just a process
of creation, but revision and deletion are also very important.

I thought native speakers weren't here to chat. Many of them, who I talked with here, used a particular name
so that they could let us know who they were. That's why.
Now to answer your question, yes, you guessed almost right. What >>112 said exactly was that s/he didn't want those people here
who had good ability to use English because it's boring. That naturally involves native speakers, right?
Also, I half expected you were kidding. lol
>>128
All I can say about forming English sentences is practice makes perfect.
If you meant to say you weren't used to the typical essay format such as introduction, body, conclusion,
then it might also be good to read how-to books or search for websites on essay writing.

He is a very logical thinker, but he can't be it only when he talked about the atomic bomb issue.
He says to us that the U.S. used two atomic bomb in order to save Japanese people and
keep the commies out.
The U.S. should apply the logic to Japan's agressive war against China.

10/04/27 13:32:13

I'm surprised at that. Isn't Tony usually on Japan's side? I would have expected him to condemn the actions of the US government.
Anyway, I think most would agree that both the atomic bomb droppings and Nanking massacre were unfortunate. Both resulted in many dead civilians.
So you shouldn't try to justify either, since the losses arguably outweighed the benefits.
But it's a complicated issue, and I'm not in any position to give lectures or claim objectivity. So if you disagree with my views, please don't flame me.
On the topic of books... does anybody read Haruki Murakami novels? I just recently started reading "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles".
I love it so far.

Sorry,I am poor at English,so I may not understand your views.
The Nanking massacre didn't exisit.
Of course many people died and we can't compare the dead of two atomic bomb
and many many devasting air raids all over Japan with the dead of battle in Nanking(not masscare).
The winner makes history? I don't think so.
I believe that the U.S. will overcome Japan massacre someday.

Oh No! Boring boring! English is too difficult for Japanese.
I think We Japanese are really bad at learning foreign languages.
We are a bit stupid about learning languages. So it's waste of time to learn English.
Even Some good English that japanese wrote here are also boring for Gaijins, I think.

Thank you for explaining your view to me. That's very interesting.
I'm curious, how widespread is the belief that there was no massacre in Nanking?
I don't mean to be controversial, but is it a common view among Japanese that it was a battle, rather than a massacre?
I would like to learn more about it from a Japanese perspective, rather than out of a Canadian textbook or off of the internet.
Thank you to anyone who might enlighten me.

hi, all.
it chick down to announce for national team of Japan for soccer.
the supporters have focused on the possibility of Shunsuke Nakamura.
I think it is pity to declare affecting game or player something disputable such as cheat, backhander, cult, etc.
but, even in a neutral, I've anxiety about him aging Nakamura, for example,
anymore his FK isn't accuracy,
anymore his keeping possession isn't brilliant,
anymore his body isn't in good condition for a long time.
Nakata star player of Japan retired at 29 years old,
but Nakamura is 31 years old currently.
most of players will be started his performance down arround 30 years old.
I love Nakamura, especially the Super FK for ManU in the match CL.
so I don't want to see if he failed in the WC.

DOOM: Repercussions of Evil
John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out
of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them,
but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson
were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he
watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped.
But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles.
John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling
fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie.

Ok now. I have a discussion topic for you.
Since you are mostly male NEETs with chronic hikikomori tendencies, why
don't you find a woman who works all day and comes home tired and hungry,
and cook, pamper, accompany her?
Your life would be more sustainable and you would feel wanted.
You don't have to marry her or make commitments, just be a good guy
she can come home to and relax with.
Something like an "home friend" relationship.
Why and why not? Discuss...

I'm not hikky, but I think that if I lived in Japan I would be classified as one eventually.
I spend most of my time at home, leaving only for University, and even that is increasingly difficult to do.
Hm, the only thing that might keep me from isolating myself entirely is the fact that my parents won't support me when I move to Japan.
I'll be forced to work. I suspect the rest of my time will be spent in some small apartment, though, wasting away. Haha.

>>231,>>233 are mine.The thought occurred to me when I watched this
clip about Kame cooking for his drama crew at the shooting studio.
It would be such a great world to come home to cooked food and a
supportive, pampering male company. Since hikikomoris are housebound,
why shouldn't they cook and care for a working woman? In return the woman
becomes his outside agent, buying him manga, anime, figurines, posters,
accompanying him when he needs the company.
It makes so much sense.
Actually it could be a drama story.

249:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/03 23:55:44
You have no chance to meet someone...
It's becoming increasingly difficult to socialize with people here in Japan, even
compared to two or three years ago back then.
Single men and women are all having hard time looking for their soulmates.
All these couple of years are marked as, say, almost a "pradigm shift" of views of marriage.
Young people were trying to choose "good-looking mates."
Their mates had to be handsome, or beautiful in the first place.
But the reality is, they can't find anyone with that condition.
They began to find someone "not so handsome, not so beautiful."
Of course handsome men and beautiful women are best even now, but they started
to learn to compromise.

10/05/04 01:43:12

I don't know about that... For me, it's true that I am very apathetic at times, but I like to make people happy.
So while I think all hikikomori are somewhat self-centered, I think it differs to what degree.
I would personally like nothing more than to do all I can to make a woman happy. I'd even learn to cook, haha.

>>249 Looks are important,everyone should try to look their best,
actually trying to look good is nicer than looking good by default.
Men and women should groom well for comfortable social interaction.
So there should be a group meeting to discuss the skills, habits, likes, dislikes
etc. The women should ask specifically :
What can he cook? How is he with the housework?
Is he able to care for a woman, is he willing to learn?
Is he able to take away her worries, comfort her tired mind?
Can he for instance clear the table and and run a bath for her,
after dinner? etc etc
What manga/anime/film/music is he into? What are his must-have
hobbies?
Likewise, the hikki asks the woman what she is willing to do.
Will she provide for both of them? Buy his manga/anime/film/music?
What does she expect in the evening? What can she give?
This is a partnership contract that should be time limited.
Say, you commit to it for a day, week, month and three months.
After that all ties are severed unless the both are willing to
continue.
Also it should be in written contract as to exactly what conditions
they have agreed to.
So these issues, normally not talked between dating couples, should be resolved
much before, and a synergy is found rather than clashing interests.
Think of it companies merging for profit, not people making sacrifices.
like in a relationship.That way chances of success would be high.
It is like having good flatmates, rather than romantic relationships.

I don't think working women think Hikky men attarctve. Women want men to
be tough basically, and Hikky men tend to be considered to be weak.
I wonder if attractive Hikky men exist in the first place. It's not about
just about preparing meal for a working women. I mean, they don'want ugly unattractive
Hikky men to serve meals for them. They don't want to live with them for that matter.
If there were Hikky men who look like Johnny's boys, some working women could hire them
to get them to prepare meals, cleaning rooms etc. I'm a man but I don't want to serve working women.
Call me I'm against gender equality or whatever, but I think me should be a brad winner. I can't take the
ideas of men act like a servant of working women. If working women take even hikky men who prepare
for thier meals superor to working women, then I'd take the job. If working women think they are
superior to hikky men, then I wouldnt want to take the job.
Besides the condition I said, I'd need to make love with a working woman who lives
with him as a condition to work for her. So the woman would need to be
beautful. Even a Hikky man wants to make love with a (beautiful) even if
they know they are asking for the moon. Even women have sexula drive so
I want one sex or two a week included in the contract with working woman.

There is a hole of one of the pillars is as big as the Great Buddha's nostril
to creep through. They say if you do it, you can get a benefit to be in good
health. In there, I saw a boy who looks about 16 creeping through there. But,
his body is too big to do it, so, his mother helped him to do it.

Social isolation is usually the result of various mental conditions. It doesn't normally have anything to do with how attractive a person is.
Unless that person has been insulted, and stays inside because of that. But that can't be said of many hikkies.
So saying that hikkies as a whole are unattractive is silly.
As for the rest of your post, you seem to have a problem with supposedly "strong" women.
What you basically said is that men are superior to women, so they can't be in a lower position than a woman.
How ridiculous. The fact that a woman is a woman doesn't lower her status as a human. I thought we'd all gotten over the patriarchal bullshit.
And if you want to have mandatory sex in the contract, hire a prostitute. That's what they do.
And I'm a male, by the way, not some raging feminist.

I wouldn't call it a mandatory sex because a working woman'd hire a male hikky who
she thinks attractive besides having cooking and claning skills.
It's win-win as long as every man and woman has sexua drive.
A prostitute is out of the question. There's no love there. As for a sex of
a hikky and a working woman, there may not be love but, it's different from
a sex with postitute in a way that they are attracd with each other to some extent.
I'd call it vertual ralationship or whatever. Not as dry a relationship as that with
prostitute.

I am glad that hikki-office lady idea is creating some discussions!
I think every woman would love a man to cook and pamper her in the evening.
That is why men who cook are so popular. We need a person who cares for us.
A hikikomori can do this job if he has the right mental attitude.
It has nothing to do with any ideology, it is driven purely by economy.
>>263 I want to remind you that originally this union is meant for a
mutual benefit for the working woman coming home late and the hikikomori staying
at home all the time. It is not a relationship union. It is more like a flatmate
partnership, but your flatmate(s) works for you. It is not based on attraction
but compatibility of needs.
280:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/06 04:48:10
btw i don't see how person caring for someone is seen as a "servant".
If you are a cook, hotal attendant, masseur, laundry staff, does that make you a servant?
No. Cooking for your flatmate, helping her relax does not make you a servant,
You are not her butler, just someone who does specific tasks while you are at home.
It is just a mutually convenient existence.

Hotel attendant, laundry staff cook jobs all have servant-ish jobs if you ask me.
From old times, women cook for men. that's a legacy and that remains
in men's minds. Believe it or not, very common line Japanese men used until a few decades
ago when they ask for woman's hand was "Will you make miso soup (every day) for me?"
The line meant the same as "Will you marry me?" back then.
Miso soup is different from house to house and as you know it's staple soup in Japan's cuisine.
I think in America, the equivalent of miso soup would chicken soup in that
it's slightly different from house to house and it resembles your mother.
I heard chicken soup is often served when you catch a cold, although miso soup
is served no matter if you come down with a cold or not.
Don't know chicken soup is popyular in UK, Australia, NZ etc.

>>311
I don't have enough money now.
However, It is a eternal truth that I am a super genius NEET.
I have an ability to become a billionaire,but I deliberately wii not become it.
People says to me that I 'm affected with the second year of junior high school disease.
There is no cure for this disease.

Hmm, whether or not to make pancakes for late breakfast...
What kind of breakfasts do people in this thread like? Traditional miso soup & co?
328:イギリス人
10/05/08 19:30:37
>>327
Two slices of very lightly toasted bread with a light spread of
blueberry or raspberry conserve or jam. Delicious.
Pancakes are nice, but usually too much effort to make.

331:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 00:04:56
My day is only halfway over. It's a little more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
I've got plenty of things left to do today, including watching Doctor Who in two hours :-3
>>330
What movie did you watch with your friend, and what did you two think of it? I hope you don't mind me asking...
332:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 00:08:03
I watched alice in wonderland,do you know it?
its was really good,I like that kind of movies.
>>331
where do you live in?

I haven't seen it yet, I'm waiting for it to come out on rental DVDs. It seems like something I'd like, too.
I live in Oxford, UK. I'm not a native speaker though. I only live here because I'm living with my boyfriend, who did some studies here.
We'll be leaving to Germany in a month or two, as he's German.
334:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 00:43:33
>>333
its amazing that you have a german boyfreind.
but is it okey for you to live in Germany? I mean,do you speak German too?
are you studying German?
and how is the life in Oxford? are people kind?
335:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 02:04:43
>>334
I'm from Sweden, and as both Sweden and Germany are a part of the EU, it's fine.
I studied some German many years ago. My German is rusty but it's nothing that daily exposure won't cure.
Life in Oxford is pretty good. The people are fairly kind, and as I live quite a bit outside the city centre the surroundings are pretty great for someone who likes nature.
There are lots of birds singing virtually all the time, which I love. My poor boyfriend doesn't, as they wake him up too early sometimes.
336:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 02:12:13
>>335 sweden? really? its really cool.
how did you find this thread?
sounds nice,but I often heard that food in UK is not good,what do you think?
is food yummy? do you like Japanese food?
337:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 02:15:14
...Hmm. I missed the start of the tv show episode I was planning to watch.
Oh well, I'll just have to wait until after it's finished, and watch it online.
>>332
Alice in Wonderland is apparently from Oxford, and they're not shy about it.
Several of my boyfriend's teachers kept using drawings from Through The Looking Glass and the like
for any examples in power point slides and paper hand-outs.
338:名無しさん＠英語勉強中

I found it several years ago, when it was at around part 22, because of my boyfriend's interests in Japanese internet culture.
He's been interested in 2ch, 2chan, 4chan (and later 4-ch) since 2004 or so.
I've been away for around two years, though. I couldn't post to 2ch when I moved to England almost two years ago,
I assumed IP ban or the like. I tried posting at January this year, if I recall correctly.
I still wasn't allowed to post. I was listening to my boyfriend's ipod this morning, and came across the song "Southern Cross".
It made me think of this site and so I decided to have a try again. And this time it worked!
I just don't know for how long it will last. :-/

English food isn't that bad, but sort of quite fatty. I can see why they use malt vinegar so much.
A lot of traditional English food is quite unhealthy... I've become quite fond of some things, though.
Steak and ale pie, for instance. Pretty great, but apparently it's supposed to be eaten with potato chips
(as opposed to crunchy "crisps"). I'd rather skip that and just have it with steamed vegetables.
My boyfriend and I tried making it last week, it turned out pretty tasty, but we forgot about that we halved
the recipe, so we overcooked it a little.
I'm quite fond of Japanese food, even natto. But then again I'm used to pickled herring, and "kaviar", in Sweden,
so maybe that explains why I like natto in spite of that most people, including Japanese, don't.
I apologise for posting so many posts in a row :-/ I don't have much to do this hour except for washing dishes, folding more laundry, and waiting for the tv episode to be put online.
I've been sitting here taking a bit of a break with some herbal tea.

So there are many geniuses mentioned on this thread
>>272-san who is Nordic with a genius wife
and
>>339-san is a Swede who has a genius Oxbridge student as a
boyfriend
>>331-san who claims to be a NEET genius.
That was some useful observation. (NOT)
341:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 06:46:43
>>339
I agree, english food is unhealthy. We like to fry pretty much everything (including chocolate bars...)
342:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 08:03:21
Eating enough food is no better healthy than taking alcohol is.
343:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 09:37:38
>>342 I agree.
Today I went to Brazilian cafe. Had fejoada and then macchiato. The coffee was good. I wouldn't say the food was that good.
Then met my collegues at a posh bar, dressed casually. Had Havana Mojito. Take a way the mint, ice and the pipette,
there was hardly any rum in it. Pass.
Then I went to an 80s college party, had a couple of pints, sweated it off on the dance floor, invited a couple of young
Chinese and a Brit =to dance with me.
Now I can't sleep. So I, the Kame wota, decided to write to you what I had done today.
What is at fault? The macchiato?
344:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 10:14:05
Japanese food are not healthy now.
We use a lot of artificial sweetener.
The Japanese pickles sold in stores often include many artificial coloring.
345:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 10:17:30
>>343
If you're in bed with the Chinese and the Brit, I think it's pretty clear what
the fault was.
346:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 10:49:27
I think Japaneses food is really healthy,there are not a lot of fat people in Japan.
US people eat too much.
347:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 11:10:04
>>346
I think , indeed, it is not nation's but individual problem.
There are a number of fat in Japan also.
Fat people have a weak mind.So they cannot help eating so much on their heart.
348:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 11:12:21
The US food merchandise printed with the norigication "0g trans fat per serving ."
Japanese food safety seems to be late.
I think that US people only eat too much but that the food is safety.
349:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 11:13:23
Sorry
norigication→notification
350:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 12:07:33
at least,I don't want to live in US,I went to some countries,but I realized that food
in other countries is generally not so good, also people are not as kind as Japan.
Japanese clerks are really polite,helpful,kind.
Japan is the best in my opinion.
351:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 12:16:34
I have never been to overseas yet.and I am twenty four year old.
Now, I am studying English very hard everyday,in spite of my hard job as a formal employee.
I always have approximately 4~5 hours sleep.
I always feel drowsy.
But I have a Dream.
I wanna to be English teacher in high school.
I hope.
"Hope" is good thing.
so I love the movie "The Showshank Redemption".
352:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 12:24:21
>>350
Are you a Japanese? If you are not,
Thank you for your having good impression on Japan.
Do I have "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"?
I've never gone abroad. I want to see the grass of other countries sometime.
353:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 12:45:35
>>351
its good that you have a dream, hope you can be a English teacher.
why do you want to become a English teacher ?
354:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 13:10:19
>>353
because I like studying English. and English is the most valuable course of Japan,I think.
355:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 13:32:37
>>354
okey,good luck with your English.
I think you can be a teacher soon.
356:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 13:42:56
>>355
Thank you.
I have never been to overseas, so I wanna try to go abroad once.
Therefore, I have to save money.
I will go to Canada or England to learn English.
Probably, Canada I will. Because English which is used in Canada is,so to speak,
neutral English.
English which is taught in Japanese school is a neutral English.
357:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 13:58:45
how much money have you saved so far?
358:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:26:10

I have to save money not less than three hundred yen,to succeed my trip
359:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:31:47
>>358

360:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:34:30
>>359
Oops... sorry, yes ,you are right.
I need to save \3,000,000 approximately.
361:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:40:03

362:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:52:44
No I am a full-time employee.
I will manage to do.
Just I should do it.
363:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 14:58:39
>>362
But once you've saved up enough money, you're gonna simply quit the job and go abroad?
364:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
10/05/09 15:15:47
>>363
Yes yes. I will quit my job.
Perhaps every my colleague will say that I am reckless.
