Kimutaku-don

"Kimutaku-don set"!?

Or kimchi and takuan(pickled Japanese radish) on the rice??

D-jay

My lunch at a Thai restaurant called "D-jay" in front of Royal Pines Hotel fascinated me.

I ordered red&green curry and tom yam kung noodles.


The genuine Thai foods were hot and spicy.


Please try it!!

AKB48 2nd Janken Tournament

AKB48's 2nd Senbatsu Janken Taikai was held yesterday night, determining the participating members for the groups 24th single, scheduled for release on December 7th.


In the end of the tournament, 25-year-old Mariko Shinoda emerged as a champion, securing the center position for the single.

Mariko Sinoda has already been so popular and so active in show business that she might have less greed for the center position.


Good luck is coming to such people.


That's how it goes.

Longest Fingernail

Professional singer Chris Walton, who has a combined total of nearly 20 feet(= 6 meters) of nails, celebrated in New York after being named in the newly released 2012 edition of the "Guinnes Book of Records".

Walton, who sings in Vegas and goes by the stage name "The Dutchess", has been growing her nails for 18 years.


She does her own makeup and household chores despite the challenges posed by her extremely long nails.


"I hate all the cleaning, but I do it. And the makeup, I only wear so much," said Ms. Walton.


Guinness spokesman Stuart Claxton said that Ms. Waltton was a "unique beauty."






Anyway, how does she manage herself in the toilet after doing her business...?

Kosoku

If you are asked the meaning of 姑息(kosoku) by a foreigner, most of you may answer that it is "wicked" or "nasty".


But it's wrong.


Japanese word 姑息(kosoku) means "一時しのぎ(ichiji shinogi = makeshift or stopgap)".


According to the latest survey announced by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, only 15.0% of Japanese know the correct meaning of kosoku, and 70.9% of them misunderstand it for wicked and nasty.




......over 70%......




Which is correct...?

Crocs at large

After the heavy rain in Japan, people are apprehensive of the possible burst of natural landslide dam.


But in Thailand, people are concerned about the possible attacks by ferocious reptiles.


Many crocodiles have escaped Monday from the Million Year Stone Park and Crocodile Farm's reptile pools after floods swept their habitats.



What a horrible aftermath...

Broccoli Saddles

Broccoli bicycle saddles were found in the University of Tokyo.

It's a fanciful and elaborate hoax!!


Students of Tokyo University have a talent for mischief as well as for study.




Anyway, it's so fun to imagine that the students worked hard to do it carefully and secretly. (^□^;)
