Haisai

My mother went to Okinawa and she's just come back home.

.

.

Most of tourists tend to buy Okinawan foods (such as Chinsukou cookies, Beniimo Tart, and so on) as a souvenir.

.

.

But my mother has been to Okinawa many times and she get bored with buying typical souvenirs from Okinawa.

.

.

This time she bought them and gave them to me.

.

① "Aosa" seaweed soup

.

.

.

.

② Cards with Okinawan Dialects

.

.

.

.

Every card has a different Okinawan word.

.

For example, do you know the meaning of "あがっ"?

.

Some of my friends are Okinawan and they use this word when they bump into another player in basketball practice.

.

The answer is here.

.

.

.

It means "Ohch!!"......yeah it's interesting.

.

.

.

And the Jokers are Okinawan Habu (a poisonous snake which lives in Okinawa) and Mongoose.

.

.

.

Why is Magoose drawn?

.

Mangoose didn't live in Okinawa originally, it brought from India in 1910 to exterminate Okinawan Habu.

.

.

.

Okinawa the strange place...(^O^;)

With New Strap

I bought a new strap here.

This J-League season has already finished and a lot of players are about to transfer to other team.



Our Urawa Reds is also in a big reform;

○Robson Ponte will leave soon.

○Marcio Richardes and Mitsuru Nagata will join our team from Albirex Niigata.

○Zeljko Petrovic will be a team manager during the 2011 season.

.

.

.

.

.

I'm not sure this reform is whether correct or not, but I always support Urawa Reds.

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche

What a gorgeous cake this is!!


The name of this cake is "Antoinette"


Not only its beautiful posture but its size (perhaps it's twice as large as the other cakes) reminds us of the autority which Marie Antoinette had.



※ We bought this at Patisserie Acacier.

J-League Division1 34th Section

Urawa Reds 0-4 Vissel Kobe



The crushing defeat of today's match depressed us greatly.

And I really feel sorry for Robson Ponte.

Today's match could not adorn the end of his long career as a Urawa Reds player.




On the other hand, Vissel Kobe turned the tables.

Just after the whitsle, players and supporters were loudly exultant over their defeat and to find that the closest rival FC Tokyo crashed 2-0 to Kyoto Sanga.


It was so dramatic that Vissel Kobe avoided relegation to send FC Tokyo into the 2nd division.




J-League 2010 has just finished.

But we can also enjoy the Emperor's cup.

For the time being I'm waiting for the next quarter final Urawa Reds v.s. Gamba Osaka held on Christmas day.


Show us a dreaful football and give Robby the supreme memory.

Christmas Carol

♪ Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. Please put a penny in the old man's hat.

When I was 10, it was my first year to study English, that Christmas song was sung in KISO EIGO 1 from the radio.

I'm not a pious Christian, but I like the mood of christmas that everything seems to be sparkle.

Welcome December!!

Amazonis

Kids, who looks 6 years old or so, are shouting "Amazonis" at the crowded platform.

From where do they know the word?
