Essential

Congratulations. I am very happy to have heard that.
Job occupies somehow essential part of our life. It oughtn't to be a part of alienation. You eventually get a chance to learn sysadmin, the job you have been hoping for.

Heh, heh..Sorry.

Alienation II
When I see Japanese ideograms, I feel as if I were watching pictures. Once Roland Barthes used to write in his 'The Empire of Signe', this country is full of ideograms. Once people here took meanings from them, but sooner or later many people here will start feeling they are mere pictures as I'd started feeling.

Alienation


In my daily life Japanese language exists around me, but when I speak Japanese, as if I were not real me but someone else. I am not cut out for speaking Japanese, so in the future I intend to put myself in circumstances where I don't need to speak Japanese anymore. In order to get back real me.

Oxygen Bed

Hello, Edward....Thanks for the comment. Here is not Slashdot, I can't expect comments as many as in /. The reason I' m writing here is first, I want to enhance my readers other than geeks. I can expect many female readers here. Second, I like this site, I can see many features including how often my writings are read. I can appreciate the colourful site, as well as the photos of many? readers.
Let's get back to topic here lest my comment should be moderated?? I have never used pillow, since pillow is to place our head higher than the rest of body. Since I was a kid I have realised I need to place my head lower than the rest of body. Regardless of whether I sleep in bed or futon.
It takes much money to furnish such a capsule bed, but in the near future such a bed will start being used.

Hello, Edward...

To Be A Poet

Hello, Maria... As a subscriber of your journal I always appreciate your creative poem. Thank you for posting your poems constantly. I took it for granted that you are talented person in writing, especially you have been challenging to write poems, so I not only appreciate but evaluate your effort to be a poet. To be a poet has been very special to me. I spent tens of thousands of time and sacrificed almost all my life in the past so my criticism is very strict. But I don't want to discourage you from keep on writing very artistically valuable writing pieces. Honestly speaking immediately after I read your comment you sent me I undoubtedly felt you will be awarded Novel Prize for literature. For a woman who has such a talent, I thought just a praise such as 'very good' 'amazing' are useless. I myself want to be a great writer. Let's take the same path together. With love always, Mercedo

Speculation

I was unable to post my journals well, not only in one site but others, too.
My host server company is SoftBank. The system of SoftBank in celluar branch was down from last evening till early today.
Might it have something to do with?
Anyway it was not a very serious one.

Oxygen Bed

Oxygen Bed
Usually My sleeping hours are slightly over than 5 hours. But I was unable to get enough air, my sleeping hours tend to get longer. On the contrary if I can get enough fresh air, my sleeping hours are getting shorter than 5 hours.
So if I can get enough oxygen constantly while I am sleeping, my sleeping hours will be much shorter like 3 hours.
20 years ago in some department store, Ginza, Tokyo I tried oxygen bar for 5 minutes. When I talked about it, my coworker taught me there's a machine that provides oxygen concentratedly for two hours after the game of some sports. In the near future people start entering the capsule that provides oxygen while we are sleeping, then our standard sleeping hours willl be 3 hours.
We live such a very busy society.

SoftBank resumed accepting change of cellular company. Free of charge is very attractive, soon the map of share will be changed very greatly.

To Love

To Love
It is difficult to love someone. It needs trust first then we can start loving.
I was unable to start loving someone today because I failed to trust the one. To love is beautiful because it's so unattainable.

As To Job

My regular job has nothing to do with my skill, talent, educational background. I choose my job basically to enhance my ability to work in a new field. Whatever the job we choose, important thing is what we can learn from it. It is not at all what we can do for our job.

Company Society

Company Society
Japan is so-called company society. The right of individuals is strictly restricted, even those who invented new technology in company, the technic is not regarded as individual's but company's. The loyalty is rarely paid to its individuals.
Sony made battery caught fire in Dell, Apple in the past, but today at last even in a computer made in Japan -Fujitsu made, the Sony made battery caught fire.
The feature of company society is when they made success, they attribute their success to company, but when they failed they attribute their failure to individuals.

Economic Freedom

Freedom Of News & Report
Finland, Holland, Iceland, Ireland....top 1
Germany - 23, England - 27, Korea - 31, France - 35
Japan -51, America -53
Japan was located in 37th last year.
Freedom of speech is very much related to the country's economic freedom.

Science? Technology?

Science? Technology?
Investment to research and development in the field of science and technology is 3% of general domestic product. It's not high percentage, they say. But it's unnecessary to spend big money on reserch and development. It's a matter of laughter for this country to talk about science and technology.
I am unable to find science and technology in this country.

Ministry Of Education & Science

Ministry Of Education & Science
It's not only unnecessary but harmful to young people.
222 public high school had not met the criteria this ministry imposed. If 25,000 students need to take 50 minutes times 70 classes of world history till their graduation next March, they will be unable to cope with university entrance examination. Lenient to students. If this ministry imposed such stupid classes on innocent pupils, I must say this ministry was not only unnecessary but harmful to young prosperous generations.

To Be Poet

Thanks for the first reply.
The latter part of your poem,
a nexus of ...to the end is 'a tautology of abstructive concept'. You can use more 'concrete object' to connote the eternity of soul, etc. In poem you mustn't say directly what you want to say. Instead you have to let other object talk what you intended to have implied.

As Opposed To Theme

mercedo
As opposed to the theme which is solemn and universal, the latter part is a bit weak.

Human Fauna

Human Fauna
When the Black Ships arrived at Japan, 1853, the number of people who speak English and Japanese were almost the same. After 150 years later now the number of English speakers are at least 5 times as many as that of Japanese. Englsh speakers are found all over the world, but Japanese speakers are only limited within small four islands.
Once when I started writing the contents of meeting in a company in English, people around me claimed that I write it in Japanese, but I ignored and keep on writing it in English. Now nobody daren't to say I write it in Japanese. But if I were told again, I prepare to say if you want to use Japanese, get out of Japan. From my eyes Japanese business scene is extremely inefficient, in other words, inept and stagnant. If Japanese people don't start introducing English more and more in various scenes in our daily social life, those who make the most of more efficient system will take the place of Japanese.

Her Crime & Punishment

Her Crime & Punishment
As to a woman my works are dedicated to...
Her crime was born to be too beautiful
Her punishment was she had to live among ordinary Japanese -they were not as pretty as she was.
I think we can find a few examples around us.

Private Is Prior To Public

Private Is Prior To Public
According to the news related to education, more than 20, 000 high school students will not be able to graduate because they failed to take enough unit of compulsory subject such as world history. World history was made compulsory as of 1994 by a ministry of education, but many universities don't require that examinees take it. So high school students who are not required to take world history in entrance examination don't like to take world history. Therefore high school had quitted imposing world history on examinees. High school authorities had been reporting falsified statement that all students took world hisory course.
The problem lies not in high school, universities, but ministory of education.
One hundred years ago the University of Tokyo was made to nourish a public servant, it was taken for granted that many excellent students be public servants. Nowadays many excellent students enter into private work force, not government. In this particular case as to world history is a typical example that government people decide things according to what they think it favourable, hopeful. They had needed to decide which subject ought to be required according to what subject university entrance examination requires. People here used to live as what public servants ordered them to do so. That time had passed forever.

Thanks for always browsing my blog. I am also reading your blog though so far *no comment*.

Wanted

Does someone want to run with me every morning? Woman only, I want to run with fun.

Beautiful Girls

Beautiful Girls
Beautiful girls in a TV. Lonely nights. My thirsty never be quenched.

How Come

How Come
How come such a pretty young girls are on air such a late at night? They are news reporters after midnight to morning.
They might live very high stories at the skyscraper condominium, otherwise they will be interruped by many unpleasant sounds in a daytime.

The Third Person

This writing piece is also well arranged. I hope you'd better take some distance from your state of mind a bit. You need to put youself in the third person position to be a real poet

My Hope

Japan's society is trembling, it's definitely not a sign of prelude to collapse, I hope.

Hi, Junko

Hello, Junko...How have you been lately?
I started writing a blog in MySpace. I like this site because there're a lot of functions here.

White Collar ' Exemption '

White Collar ' Exemption '
This notion might be from America because the word is English. Usually we work 8 hours in a day and 5 days in a week. Total working hours are supposed to be 40 hours. But in fact many people are working 10 to 12 hours in a day. Total working hours are about 60 hours in a week. Working extra hours itself is not against the law, but almost all cases they don't add extra working hours in their regular working hours.
So I have to admit that they are working much more than they stated. But today 'white collar exemption' is about to be implemented from next spring. If this law is introduced, white collar will be permitted to work as much as they can. Current working hour 10 to 12 is going to extend more to 15 or 16. If those who are self employed, it depends on themselves as to how many hours they work though.
I believe Japanese people tend to work longer in a day, but worse problem is they usually don't take or are unable to take vacations in a year. They keep on working around the clock 365 days in a year without taking holidays more than consecutive 5 days.
Their worst problem is that they don't classify matters. Many things are not arranged yet, everything is in confusion, chaotic. This chaos is mainly caused by the complexity of Japanese language. They haven't used alphabet yet, in other words they are still using very complicated 1850 ideograms and 50 phonetic signs. Their job is not done well despite their hard work. White collar exemption is to try to make up for the inefficiency caused by the complexity of language by consuming more hours. They had better start changing their language in public use. From Japanese to English.

Impact Of Free Call

Impact Of Free Call
I was always wondering why the charge of phone call is high. High..because nowadays if we use Messenger, the conversation, communication is just free of charge. In our current charge system, always I have to spend one or two dollars in a few minutes call.
Many people start changing their cell company as a torrent.

Free Call

Free Call
SoftBank says that it's free to call between SoftBank cell users.
I intend to change and I ask her to do the same.
If we change till next January, our least charge will be cut 30 %.

Initiative

SoftBank Initiative
SoftBank is the name of company that host Yahoo in Japan. This company also merged Vodafone Japan and now they are trying to enhance their share in cell phone.
This company abruptly announced the discount of charge. I always spend 50 to 60 dallors in a month in cell phone, if it's going to cheep drastically I will consider changing the company.

The Meaning Of Naked Woman

Hi, Carmen...
Your new default picture is so nice. I like a naked woman not only because I'm a man. The naked man just means dissemination while a naked woman means conception. The differences are apparent.
I am rejuvenated much. Thanks!

The Spirit Of Law

Law only indicates particular state in particular time. If someone got married many years ago but separated more than five years ago, they are married only just on paper but their married status is not recognised as legally married in common law in Japan's precedents. In this case if the one challenged his marital status to a court, divorce is sure to be admitted by a court.
I believe this reflects the spirit of law well.

English Circle

English Circle
I went to a regular meeting by an English circle on the 15th of October with my wife. For the first time of course. The number of attendants were 31 in which 23 were female and 8 were male. Almost all men had come there with their wives, few men had come alone, and many wemen had come by themselves. For a guy like me whose age is 45, it is uncommon to attend there alone. We spent there just one hour.
On the 22nd of October again we attended the meeting. Many attendants of this meeting are English teachers. I felt very secured.
I intend to participate in this meeting next week too. With my 'common law' wife, of course.

Evaluation

Your poetic talent is undoubted.

Truth Of The Battle Of Jieting

Truth Of The Battle Of Jieting
In 228 the battle between Shu led by Zhuge Kongming and Wei led by Cao Cao, Zhuge sent a general Ma Su here and ordered to position at the bottom of the hill. But he positioned Shu army on the hill since it was written in a book of military tactics. There's an exception for everything, in this area because water was obtained fully at the bottom of the valley he had to place his troops under the valley. Shu army was surrounded and defeated by Wei army. Later Ma Su was captured by Zhuge Kongming and said to be executed.
Ma Su had been very well evaluated by Zhuge Kongming, but he executed Ma Su without mercy. He should have given him a second chance, but he took his life for his one time failure. Zhuge Kongming had been admired one of the most intelligent figures in the Thee Kingdoms Era, many his enemies feard his wisdom. After the death of Zhuge Kongming in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains, 234, Shu had no wiser strategist than Zhuge Kongming. If a wise strategist like Ma Su were alive, Shu would not have to keep Zhuge Kongming's death secret.

The First Cosmopolitan

Jesus was a Jews, it was needless to say though, yet he spoke Greek, and New Testament was written in Greek. The Septuagint was already published in Alexandria, Egypt in 3 c B.C. Greek was used widely throughout the area in the age of Jesus.
Jesus was a Jews in blood but he was the first cosmopolitan in mind.

Beyond Good And Evil

More than 100 years ago German philosopher Nietzsche was struggling against the notions such as god, good & evil, and humans. According to his conclusion there's only god that is beyond good and evil, and god had been dying at that time.
100 years later, there's no god that lies beyond good and evil, but only humans exist. Humans are the one who decide what is right or wrong -in orther words, good and bad. If someone who has got a supreme power act maliciously, those who don't have power will be affected so badly. Now there's only few powerful humans that are located beyond good and evil.

Privacy

While still they were in a prison cell, they were asked whether they remained in a prison but would be able to keep their privacy or they can get out of prizon but they have to lose their privacy. Of course they chose to be known to by the general public.

Made In Japan

Next time instead of blaming products that made in Japan I'd like to blame me myself that made in Japan.

Japan's Business

Japan's Business
It's sluggish. It is like a sworm that's eating the edge of leaves from upside to downside, like a man who are dragging with his legs chained with sandbags. In America people have wings to fly from flower to flower. The gap was already uncurable.

Philosopher's Path

Philosopher's Path
1981 in Kyoto. I stayed in Kyoto -ancient Japan's capital for a year. I stayed in Kyoto not for study, not for job, not for pleasure, but for meditation. I was trying to know the mind of Japan by visiting tens of temples and I spent tens of time to walk the path. Usually I make it a rule to visit one temple in a weekend, and I walked in the pedestrian path in a day or evening. Many times I was asked from my friends who live in the same dormitory where I was going out. Everytime I was asked I kept smiling without saying anything. I left Kyoto when my hair reached my shoulder.
In Kyoto it was everywhere where I was able to find philosopher's path, although there was a real Philosopher's Path along the small stream in the east in Kyoto, it was too long to walk through.
I found just nothing in this year, but I must tell you that it was necessary for me to calm my nerve down.
Creation was such a hard work that I was unable to do anything for two years afterwards.

For Use At Home Only

For Use At Home Only
Some years ago I needed to carry tooth paste in my bag to stay in my company. When I opened my bag I found the cap of the tube was taken away and tooth past was spread at the bottom of my bag. I told this to my friend and said that many things that made in Japan are made not for all purpose.
But he said that it's only natural because the product isn't made for use in travel.

My Opinion

I don't think war is likely to occur, either.

Privacy In Celebrities

Privacy In Celebrities
The privacy of celebrities is often revealed. These phenomena were sometimes called celebrities tax, they have to pay extra money only because they are famous. It would be only acceptable when they make enough money to make ends meet for their revelation

Sony Starts Making Cameras

Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus, Konica-Minolta

Rain

Rain
It rained today probably for the first time in many days. I was waliking on the street when I was caught in shower, I placed my cellular under my socks and kept on walikng until I entered a supermarket. There I got a plastic bag for my cell. I contained my cell in the plastic bag and I was in a hurry to my home.
Still raining a lot, for a weather in late October it was unusually warm.

Technique In Printing

Technique In Printing
Some years ago one English dictionary was printed in some country other than the country the dictionary was edited. This country ordered printing to other country probably to cut cost. But it cost much more when they found some misprint in that version. Now they never ordered printing again to other countries.
I've got one dictionary, which is very famous English dictionary originally edited of course in England but printed in Japan. I found one misprint in it. I don't rely on any country other than one.

Devided Koreans

Devided Koreans
In East Asia some people used to call Korean as 'Jews In East Asia'. I was unable to realise why Koreans are called 'Jews'. I had no idea though today when I was browsing some classics I found the description that Jewish people were devided into two in some age in ancient times.
They were devided into two countries, one is Israel and the other was Judas from 900 B.C. to 587 B.C.
But in history there were many countries which were devided into two or three countries.
Roman Empire was devided in 286, the Western Roman Empire lasted till 467 and Eastern Roman Empire lasted till 1453. And The Frank Kingdom ( from 419 ) was devided into three, that is Germany, France, and Italy in 843.
We might start calling Koreans Romans or Franks if devision was the only reason.
In conclusion I might have to say East Asians don't know many about Western cultures.

Economic Sanctions

Economic Sanctions
We'd better not make light of the effect of economic sanctions. Definitely economic sanction is the very first form of act of war. If some country is about to collapse the economy of his country, they will do whatever they can to acquire enough food, etc. this will be the beginning of the concrete form of conflict.

Josephine

Josephine
Josephine was divorced and had had a kid -I don't know how many kids she had. She was born in 1763, and Napoleon was born in 1769. She was 6 years senior to him. She made the most of her kid to get access to him in the first place.

Gerontophilia

Gerontophilia
It is meaningless to have fun with a woman who has already had menopause if the objective of loveaffair is to have children. But when it comes to just have fun age doesn't matter at all. If we don't want kids, if we want to learn something meaningful it would be valuable to have fun with a woman of older age.
According to my personal experience, the younger the more selfish.
A bit controversial? But I like older woman.

A Woman Who Crossed Rubicon

A Woman Who Crossed Rubicon

Left picture shows Yoshiko Okada(left, born in 1902) in Woman of Tokyo (1933), after she appeared in this movie, in 1938 with her lover she crossed the border between Japan and Russia in Sakhalin island. The lover was executed soon after they crossed the border.
In 1972 she returned from Russia. In 1986 she returned to Russia again and died in 1992.
50 years ago today Russia and Japan normalised their relationship.

Vent

In The End
She's coming to see me because I asked her to do so.
Human is established by two parts - one is reason and the other is chaos. We need to vent regularly.

Oil, etc..

Long ago oil was obtained from wild camellia here.
By the way Jesus taught us to love our neighbours - here love means agape, many years ago before Jesus, Moses taught us to refrain from loving our neighbour's wife because that causes trouble. Here the term love means eros.
Whatever the kinds of love it might be, oil plays an important role to ease our tension, friction.
Oil for appeasement, not for conflict.
Christ means the anointed one which is a man who was smeared with oil.

Interpretation Of Kuukai

Interpretation Of Kuukai
Kuu in Japanese means 'the sky' , and Kai means 'the sea', the place where two crossed is horizon. I intend to go through in spite of all the obstacles in my life looking only toward horizon, where Kuukai is standing.

Kookai

Kookai
Kookai.-must have nothing to do with Japanese monk Kuukai-.. But if the concept of Kookai in fashion was based on the idea anf thought of Kuukai, it is very fascinating.
Still many ordinary people go on a trip in 88 temples in an island. It takes at least three months but it might be a wonderful experience when it completed. Kuukai ( 774-835 ) arranged 88 temples after he came back from China. His Buddhist preaching is esoteric, but he not only tsught his Buddhism but did lots of public enterprises like making a pond for drought. 88 Temples pilgrimage is not only held by elderlies but by youngsters too for those intend to seek the meaning of their life by this journey.
We have to walk thoughout this journey. I intend to do sometime later in my life.

Love Your Neighbour

Love Your Neighbour
One of my female friend (55) introduced me a married woman (55) who is looking for a tutor of English. Today Icalled her after I sent my profile with my picture. She said she wants to see me two times in one month. I said it's fantastic. I asked here where she lives. She said she lives on the foot of Mt. Oil.
Mt. Oil! That's where I live.
She was a neighbour.
We are going to see Monday night 23rd of October, after 7 o'clock.

Skip

I don't see my girlfriend tomorrow. Basically she comes here to see me once in a week or ten days, or two weeks. I want to see my girlfriend almost everyday if I go out with her.

The drug ipratropium is not acknowleged in Japan, so not prohibited either, therefore it is not against Japan's rule.
They ought to say that it is against Japan's rule because the drug is not acknowledged in Japan, it is just needless to say that it is not prohibited.

Challenging

Challenging
A couple of hard liners started talking about the possibility for Japan to hold nuclear arms.

Detente

If North Korea is really capable of deploying nuclear weapons, kind of detente will emerge. America is going to solve the crisis only by diplomatic measures.

Manga Society

In a TV theatre, show, even in a movie, a serious debate show, etc I always notice all the participants don't like to deal with many matters seriously. Instead they always try to make fun of each other and make light of many serious matters. They know they have already lost the right of choice. They always follow what the stronger countries or international community made a decision.
Huge bosoms, deshabille costume, and tentacle monsters are phenomenon of their unrealised dreams. They tend to realise their dreams in manga, not in reality which is nearly impossible.

Before The Fall

Before The Fall
King Zedekiah reigned before the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC. In his reign he emancipated slaves in the first place and soon after that he captured slaves again.
When the society lost its dynamism the fall inevitably followed.

American Managers
One of professional baseball team Orix Blue Wave hired a new manager. His name is Collins from America.
The manager of Nippon Ham Fighters is Trey Hillman from America, the manager of Chiba Lotte Marines is Valentine from America.
I am sure that generally American managers have more scientific data than domestic managers.

Deep Impact
The race horse 'Deep Impact' is going to retire in this year. At the Ark of Triumph Cup in France the prohibited drug 'ipratropium' -medicine for treating asthma was detected. This medicine is not prohibited in Japan.
We are not glad if it were the reality of its strength.
I recall ' Haru urara '- the race horse always positioned last. This name means 'warm days in spring'

Maid Cafe In Akiba

Maid Cafe In Akiba
Nobody knows what 'Moe' in Japanese means. 'Moe' is palpitation, the inner feeling when spring comes.
Ten something Japanese slashdotters held an annual meeting in a maid cafe for the first time this year. I was invited, of course I didn't go.
Akiba is a famous district in Tokyo where lots of Otaku ( Nerd or geek ) get together.

Northern Territory

Northern Territory
That is small four islands at the end of festoon of Kuril islands. Japan is claiming these tiny islands belong to Japan, aside from its historical background, Russia now rules the region.
It is alright to claim, but the colour of these four islands in Japan's atlas is red, which means Japan territory. As I mentioned the effective ruler is Russian over these islands. But because people have been taught that the islands belong to Japan, fishermen enter the area without noticing they are violating Russian law.
Education ought to be based on reality, oughtn't to be based on wishful thinking.

Defence War

When Hitler crossed the border between Soviet, the war turned to be defence war for Russians. Russians finally won the war because it was a defence war. People will fight well when it's defence.

Inspections

mercedo
Today Condoleezza Rice visited Japan and met Chief Cabinet Secretary and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
This area is surrounded by three seas and one strait - Yellow Sea, East China Sea, East Sea or Sea Of Japan, and Strait between Korean peninsula and Japan archipelagoes.
They say they will cooperate when they hold inspections.

'Around Situations'

'Around Situations'
Japanese people don't like to mention something directly. They use circumvent way -'around situations' are nothing but a military action. Japanese politicians are arguing whether the nuclear test is an 'around situations'. One out of ten politicians say yes, but nine out of ten say 'no'.
If yes, it will be a matter Japan's Self Defence Force concerns. They say 'defence', but usually people call it a war.

Florida In East Asia

Florida was most populated by people from Carribian origin, but people of Carribian origin also live near and around Florida peninsula.
The situation is similar in and around Korean peninsula. Korean people are most populated in peninsula, but many Koreans live near Korean peninsula deep inside East-north region of China.
All East Asian countries are located very closely. China doesn't want other countries to attack their neighbour country -North Korea, historically Northern Korea had been a tribute. Chinese volunteer soldiers later participated in Korean War (1950)when their border was threatened by United Nation Army.

Second Test

It's completely unpredictable whether North Korea will hold the second nuclear test. France and China are strongly opposing it though.

Questions About Surrogate mother and Transplantation from the living body

This is a practice usually held by a married couple that can't have babies for their some functional failure rather the egg and semen themselves. So they practice artificial insemination first, which cost at least 100,000 dollars, the money that is not affordable easily by ordinary people.
Secondly they have to find a surrogate mother. If their mothers will be a surrogate mother of their child's child, it would cost nothing. Otherwise they will have to pay at least 10,000 dollars for the nourishing 10 months and labour to a surrogate mother.
In these cases, always a married couple ought to be richer than a surrogate mother.
Biologically speaking, yes, their child is perfectly their own child. No ethical, no regal question will be raised. But only economy matters, so if the poor people have to sell something other than their labour power, poor unmarried woman start selling thier labour for ten months and poor man start selling their organ for the same reason. If the society is affluent enough, such phenomenon will not occur. If we admit surrogate mother, transplantation from the living body, that only enlarges economic gap, but does not reduce the gap.

Surrogate Mother

Wednesday, October 18, 2006
Surrogate Mother
Surrogate mother is not admitted in Japan's law. But at the same time it is not prohibited, either.
Surrogate mother, transplantation from the living body is based on the theory of the rich, strong, and it is against the principle of equality.

Population Of America

Population Of America
That will exceed 300,000,000 -3 hundred million. Japan's population is 125,000,000. I think America can afford much more people than current population.
Around up to 7 hundred million, as opposed to the population of China, which is 1,200,000,000 -1.2 billion.

The Magic Of Five

Tuesday, October 17, 2006
The Magic Of Five
I often go to supermarket to buy something.
Today they held 'a market at 5 o'clock', in which one item was so so cheap and many customers were buying it.
In this supermarket, once or twice in a month they hold ' 5 percent off by using a credit card', many customers come and buy many items.
5, 5....at a glance when people see the figure 5, they might associate 50 percent discount, especially in Japan's terminology 5 ** means 50 percent discount, it is so ambiguous just the figure 5 means 5 o'clock, 5 percent off.
People are easily disguised, people keep on coming without knowing why they come.

For Use Japan Only

For Use In Japan Only
I always noticed how many items are only designed for use Japan only. That apparently protects Japanese domestic industry. Japan is for Japan's sake. Outside people cannot use such devices as designed only for Japan's product.
If Japanese standard is very universal, there might be no serious problems. But the standard of this country is very different from other countries' standard.
Thus 'For Use In Japan Only' means Japanese people are narrowing their possibility on their own.
How pity for they don't realise what they are doing!

I'm going to attend one English circle later today. The regular meeting is held twice in a week, each is 2 hours length.
Attendants are teachers, company interpreters, docters, and a writer -only me. The number of participants are roughly 20 to 30. Their way of speaking English differ from each other. Some are very America, very British, very educational standard, etc. My English is very British.
It is just a great fun for us to have some hours only English is used.
I might take my girlfriend to the meeting today. Those who got married tend to get together with their wives. Their wives can speak workable English, my girlfriend is learning how to speak English.

To Show Some Notion

That's right.
Chinese people in main land use the greatly simplified form of traditional Chinese so at a glance the characters look differently from Taiwanese - South Korean use, Japanese use.
Taiwanese - South Korean form of Chinese characters is traditional Chinese -most complicated ones, and Japanese form is slightly simpified ones which are different from both Chinese simplified ones and Taiwanese -South Korean traditional ones.
The use of all Chinese characters are abolished in North Korea. In South Korean the use of Chinese characters are limited in 1500, but except from the cases being used as a title of company name, newspapers, etc, Chinese characters are virtually no more in use.
Taiwanese people still use Chinese characters in what is called the most traditional form as it used to be, so it's most complicated - the form was the same as the use in Hong Kong.
Thus I must say still Chinese characters are in daily use in China, Taiwan, and Japan. But the forms they use are different from each other.
In order to show some notion people here use much more complicated form rather than those who only use limited number of phonetic element. It is clear where the future lies.

Fragile Society

Sunday, October 15, 2006
Fragile Society
Japan is indeed incredibly fragile society.
Japanese language is logically speaking almost all opposite to logical order.
Phonetially speaking it is too simple to express complicated concept of many ideas.
Scriptively speaking still it is a irrational combination of phonetic signs and ideograms- it is not an alphabet.
In short Japanese language will die away. Society based on this illogicality must be fragile.

I am not assimilated into Japan's society. I am a complete stranger though I was born and raised up here. I feel very alienated. Probably I feel empathetic to your life -Odessa, U.S., Sweden. I guess you are not alienated there as opposed to my situation. I never change my way, so whenever I am I cause friction ( I'm already wise enough not to cause such frictions though in the past, yes I did! )
You keep on being my premier top friends unless you remove my friendship.
And most of all I am very fond of your handlename -Ludmila, which connotes extremely exquisite ambience around.

Four or five years ago I read 'Moby Dick'. It took six months. I started reading 'The Old Testament' three years ago. It took several months to have read from Genesis to a book of Jeremiah. I stopped reading it two years ago at the middle of the book of Jeremiah.

Recently I resumed reading the rest of the Old Testament, and now I'm reading a book of Ezekiel.

I don't read many books. But when I read, I only read a few classics very carefully, precisely, and thoughtfully.
