    We have 711x more people to chose from, therefore I can logically deduce that we will win 711-0.

    Or maybe 712-1.
    But Germany 13-0 San Marino
    So, that issue doesnt work \:D :p
    Bobby, I think England has less population than that?
    Maybe that indludes Scotland, Wales as well?
  2. Yup, never ending story me jane.

    When the baby starts walking around, you need to put all your attention on him/her all the time. Babies are so curious about anything. They check stuff by putting them into their mouth, so you have to stop it if the stuff were not good for the baby to put in!

    I have not had any kids of my own yet, but I have some younger brothers and caterd for them as the eldest brother. Diapers stinked a lot! lol

     

    Take it easy, it's a 365 days stuff. You can never get any sick , flu, fever etc. Even your house is messed around, no one will die. All your attention and physical strength now are for the baby.

    Gambatte!

    If you would like to rent a van in a car-rent place, you need to get back there to get the car back as far as you don't choose an option to get the van somewhere else.

    In many car-rental shop, it seems that you can not choose the option later, you just need to choose it when you SING-UP.

    So, if you rent one at Narita and back to there to get it back, no problem but if you would like to rent one at Narita and would like to get it back at Osaka, you need to choose the option on signing up.

     

    Not sure if you would like to take "JR pass", but it seems that you can't get on "Nozomi" train - the fastest one - on Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen line. All you can get on is "Hikari" and "Kodama".

     

    Good luck

  5. When I drove my car from my house to the area via Ootsuki JCT at the Chuo EXP way, I think it took roughly 3 hours to Fuji-Yoshida. If you would like to go further e.g. Gotenba, maybe you need some extra half - 1 hour, I guess.

    I think you can visit the "Yuki no ootani" ( Grand snow walls?) at the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route which connects Nagano pref. and Toyama pref. at that time.

    Ask the details at +81-76-432-2819

  6. Yep, very tiny Ezorisu. I always need to wear a pair of glasses for my far sighted eyes to see/touch/pick them.

    Actually there are some non-painted figures are also available in cheap price but I don't think I can paint them good with my eyes now. Perhaps I could do that if it were 5 or more years ago though.

    And yes, they are German, but other nations' figures also available. Especially they provide a lot of policemen, soldiers, marriage couples in many nations.

  7. I think that kind of "convenient" things just confuse old brains.

    Suica is a kind of pre-paid card, right? And while you have some 'money' in your suica card, you can go through the entrance gates in each and every station linked to suica system here and there without buying tickets.....? You don't need to buy tickets trip by trip when the train company changes..? ( JR<->Odakyu, Keikyu<->JR etc ) ?

    So, is it just to save your time?

    The most scary part for pre-paid cards is what if I lost them lol..... I often do that \:\(

     

    Sometimes I am surprised to find younger people in Tokyo go throught the gates with their keitai!!! eek.gif What are they doing!?!?!? wakaranai.gif

  8. When we say "Tatazumu", we use it for the cases in which the subject (person) does not do anything special. Just seeing something around or standing there without moving any etc. Sometimes some sentimental or emotional feelings included.

     

    E.g

    She was standing there by seeing the scenery around to forget her dad died.

     

    I think we use "tatazumu" for this kind of case above.

    Probabaly we don't say "tatazumu" if the person look at this and that around with curious eyes.

    I ll look for the blue signs next time. Thanks for the tip. thumbsup.gif
    In Aichi.. So less cars than Tokyo so you think it's be the otherway around!

    Hows the electronic signs that change from 80km to 50km just because it rains!
    Or because it snows, strong wind etc.
    I think in some flat, straight sections, usually the limit is 100kms/h but if it's steep hills, curve, bad visibility, crowded etc, it could be 80kms/h.

    And I think they are already drunk to fall down with chairs.

    lol.gif

     

    muikabochi - I don't think they are road signs. If they are, I think they attach some signs for them. Thanks.

     

    Ezorisu - yeah could be, but too thick for beer mugs. I think it looks twice thicker than the dolls' thighs. Thanks

     

    snowbender - yep, for my model train layout.

    Mysterious?

  12. Sorry for disturbing.

    What are those small things at the left of this picture below? (White and orange things) Any ideas?

    benchedoldies01.jpg

    No explanation attached, asked it to the shop but haven't gotten replies yet. Maybe pins to fix the benches but they don't work for it. Some geeks in the same hobby told me they might be beer mugs but I don't think so..... I thought probably someone who is not in the same hobby could gimme some ideas. Thanks

    Usually those 2 (tsutsushimi bukai , kenson na) are used to talk about others. I don't think I use them to talk about myself e.g.

    Watashi wa tsutsushimi bukai.
    Watashi wa kenson na hito desu.

    Maybe sometimes some people use "tsutsushimi bukai" to talk about themselves but I think it's very rare. Maybe some use it for it but only with close friends in some casual situation otherwise I think others hear someone uses it to talk about him/herself might think the person very audacious/uncommon/stupid.

    Peculiar rule - both are epithets, but "tsutsushimi bukai " could work that way not accompanying any other words or phrases afterward ( and even if you put some noun afterward, it also work ) but "kenson na" usually accompanies a noun ( hito in that case above ) afterward.

    The verb form of "tsutsushimi bukai " is I think "tsutsushimu". When a samurai says "Tsutsushinde moushiagemasu" in a historical play, it means roughly "I would tell you something respectfully/sincerely from the bottom of my heart" which is one of the 'medest' way of saying, I guess.

    I read somewhere recently that anything more than 3GB would be a waste with todays processors that wouldn't be able to take advantage of it. (Or something).

    Vista looks nice, totally overpriced though. If you get a new PC though....
    lol Thanks klingon. I think my old eyes didn't see the "point".
    That happens a lot recently which I hate!!!!
