If you have ever studied foreign language, you might have experienced frustration; such as burning desire to kick your desk hard till your foot starts bleeding.

English sucks. I really think it does. Okay if you are American or something and studying Japanese, you will say “Japanese sucks”. Only people who had studied a foreign language a bit hard can experience this; and envy some native speakers even though, they are psycho or nuts. How do you know how to put a right article? I have no idea. I know sort of, but some knowledge is as good as none.

A scary man

I have some things to write today.

Last week I went to Osaka with Maz to submit Visa form to British embassy. Apparently I need Visa to be married in Scotland. At first we thought we needed about 100,000 yen for a type of Visa. We nearly fell down from a couch, even though our couch is on the ground. As Maz went through the Visa thing again, we figured we needed a different type of Visa, Just get married and not live in Scotland Visa. It still cost 15,000 yen. Besides that we don’t have it yet, so touch wood.

Before got to the embassy, we got lost. We got off at the biggest station in Osaka and started walking towards embassy. I asked a girl at an intersection for direction. She wasn’t Japanese and gave us completely wrong information. As we headed for the direction she said, a scary looking guy ran to us and said that the girl lied to you and we had to go to the opposite direction. We thanked to him and took subway there.

We stopped at the wrong station. It’s not our fault. The station he said was wrong. For showing him a map with a big, big dot, he misunderstood where the dot was pointing at. The bottom of the dot was slightly acute and that’s where we were supposed to go. But obviously, he thought the top part of the dot was our destination. Anyway, we walked a lot and arrived at embassy in time. We had a load of exercise.

your sandwich stinks

Some people like to keep journals on the internet. I know one guy, I haven’t met him in person, though, who likes to tell you that he usually see some business celebrities. Have I told you about him? I kind of subscribe to his journal. At first because it was interesting for me due to that I don’t have much chance to see those internet moguls and human resource company presidents or something. A couple of weeks later, I found him sort of bragging. His journal is about, probably he thinks, encouraging young people to start their brilliant career at newly built fields. What about agriculture? Anyhow, it was interesting at first, but soon I could picture him giggling before his computer whenever he met a “splendid” guy at some expensive Japanese luxury restaurant. “You pathetic debris should envy me.” I could hear him saying to himself. I could have shut the page up, yet didn’t. why? I don’t know exactly. I guess I just wanted to see how far he could be conceited.
The way he boasts is subtle. It’s like a carrot in a sandwich. Many kids hate carrot but cannot taste with mayonnaise and ham and whatnot. But some kids, like me, detect anything, because we hate particular things like carrot and vanity. If you want to tell Paris Hilton came to your apartment and told you cooked for you, make it bread of the sandwich. Then I can expect the whole taste of it is going to be nightmare.

Americans are funny

It seems I never finished my writing these days. Whenever I started writing a journal I felt sleepy and fell asleep after all.

Okay, I won’t tonight. You might believe it’s easy to write whatever happened today, but it’s not true. It is actually much harder than writing about a dead mouse which is carried to your house by a neighbor. So, I probably had better to write about something like that.

I am watching a movie “American pie naked mile”. To be honest, this is really dumb. However that’s surely funny. You should watch it. This movie looks like a “road trip”, “American pie” combined movie.
