The Nightmare before Christmas

Happy Halloween!!


An increasing number of people celebrate Halloween every year in Japan.


I don't remember exactly what made me interested in Halloween, but when I saw Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" for the first time, it fascinated me greatly.

If you don't know this film, have a look at the introduction here.

Pumpkin Pie

My breakfast today!!

My brother bought it for me at Kobeya in Takadanobaba.


I like pumpkin pie, but it's hard to find one in Urawa.





Do you know any pumpkin pie??

Interview Project 2011 ①

Eigonoie junior high school students asked some questions to foreign people walking around in Tokyo Imperial Palace today.

There were less people there than usual.


Because of the fear for radiation or high-yen recession?



In spite of the bad weather, my students tried hard to interview 15 foreigners!!






We're going there again next Sunday with many elementary school students.


I hope more foreigners will be there.

Tenya fever

The quality of recent Tendon Tenya's products is so high!!


I've already tried the following two Tendons.

 Oyako Tori Tendon (Chicken and egg Tendon)

Komochi-Hotate no Tendon (Seed Scallop Tendon)

Red pickled ginger and lemon go well with oily Tendons.


How about trying them?

After Gadhafi's Death

The United Nations and two major human rights groups called Friday for an investigation into the death of Moammar Gadhafi amid questions over the final moments of the late Libyan strongman's life.



While the debate continues over whether rebel fighters executed Gadhafi after capturing him, celebrations goes on well and the great majority of Libyans are rejoicing his death.

Libyans have emerged from a very long nightmare, in which two generations lived in terror under Gadhafi's dictatorship.


The details of how he met his end seem irrelevant to most of them.






However hard they had experienced their lives, it's difficult for me to understand that most of Libyans made their big smiles after hearing a human death.


I think the feeling is different between the celebration of the end Kadhafi's dictatorship and the joy of his death.

Children...... What are you pleased with...?

Cruel Passersby in China

If your car accidentally knocks down a toddler, do you call the ambulance immediately or run the girl over again?


If you see a little girl dying on the ground, do you try to save her or ignore her and walk away?




These questions seem to be ridiculous and crazy to answer, but such a cruel incident really happened a few days ago in China.




The graphic surveillance video of the incident in Foshan city shows a van driver striking the two-year-old girl, pausing with his vehicle straddling the gril's torso, then driving forward, running her over a second time with his back wheel.

None of the 18 people who saw the girl's bloody body stopped to help.

The girl was then run over again by a light-duty truck.




If you want to see the video, go to YouTube and find one.

She is in critical condition, her brain show little activity despite earlier subtle movements in the lower body.




Where is the morality?


Where is the love?
