Killer Cucumber

The death after eating raw meat has still been controversial in Japan, but now raw vegetables like cucumbers become a massive talking point in Germany and some other European countries.

A major outbreak of Escherichia coli has killed 11 people and may infected over 1000 others.

It is thought that contaminated cucumbers were imported from Spain, but further tests are being carried out.




The aggressive form of E. coli is known to cause kidney failure and affect the central nervous system.

And in many of the reported cases, the gastrointestinal infection has led to Hemolytic-uremic Syndrome.

The symptoms include bloody diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Unfortunately it's difficult to treat with antibiotics.




It's too tragic to be killed by cucumbers...

Fruit-Miso Chicken Burger

My lunch today was here.

Mos Burger's new product  "Fruit-Miso Chicken Burger"

It's hard for me to express the taste.

I had never eaten such a unique burger until today.




Mos burger have collaborated with the morning show "Sukkiri" in  making new products, and that one is the third masterpiece for them.



Let's try!!

Ay Yai Yai

I bought new CDs at Tower Records yesterday.

Both are popular now: the left one "One Hit Wonders" has been introduced in many TV shows, and the profit of right one "Songs for Japan" will be donated to the reconstruction of 3.11 disaster.



Especially the left one includes many good songs I heard when I was a kid.



Here is my favorite song "Butterfly" by SMiLE.dk.

This song was used in a game Dance Dance Revolution.


One of my friends had a mat-controller, then we would play the game with it at my house after school.

Barcelona 3-1 Manchester United

Barcelona produced a sublime performance to beat Manchester United 3-1 win the Champions League final at Wembley.

So wonderful it was!!




Barcelona dominated possession with their trademark one touch passing throughout the game.


Rooney's stunning equalizer in the 34th minute excited me so much, but the game was already decided at the moment when Lionel Messi scored the shot in the 54th minute.


There seemed to be no space as Messi was tracked across the 18 meter line by fullback Patrice Evra, but he spotted a gap between the central defenders and hit a shot down the middle, beating goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar for pace.





Barcelona must be a champion because of their magical team work and high-skilled players.





Which team on earth can beat Barcelona??

Champions League Final

I have a perfect preparation here now!!

I hope Manchester United will win this game.




Go Rooney Go!! ＼(^o^)／

Unique Houses

I read a book titled "可笑しな家(Okashina Ie; unique houses)".

It shows 60 unique-designed houses in the world.



For example, its cover shows that there is a house between huge rocks in Portugal.





Anyway the most surprising house I've ever seen is here!!

"Untitled 1986" (known as The Headington Shark) in Oxford

→The Headington Shark web page

I found that on my way homestay from downtown.

Have you ever seen any unique houses??
