Hum.. No, I don't back anything up because I don't save anything in my keitai - I had better tell I don't know how to do it lol...... Am I an oyaji?

Oreo? da chocolate color biscuit some cream inbetween? Mad, hum... exactly fashion is the key. Yes, Marioboy. People often judge other's nationality/race by looking. When I got off a boat at Boppard, Rhein river Germany, 2 Japanese women talked to me in Japanese in miserable voice saying "Are you a Japanese, aren't you? AREN'T you? AREN'T YOU???????? " I said " Yes, I am" They said " We strayed from a tour, help us!!! take us to a hotel in Heidelberg, please!" LOL Heidelberg was not in my list to visit, so I just made a ring to a hotel where their tour scheduled to have

K, could not find that word in my dico. It would work if it's mouthwasy. Gotta make some lasagna sauce this afternoon.

gargling?

Hum... exactly how differently Japanese and Chinese look? Usually I can't tell until I start talking with the person. When the person say Ni hao, finally I notice s/he is a Chinese.

Jet black hair, wide face, short legs - who doubts I am not a Japanese? LOL

Ya, muikabochi If people started pointing small differences this and that, we can list a lot and what does it help? - makes no sense.

Not sure you can list so many ski slopes if it's only within 3 hours from Narita. If it's Sapporo, probably you can list more for example, Sapporo Kokusai, Niseko, Rusutsu etc? My place Hakuba is probably 4 hours apart from Narita even if you take the quickest way by Narita express plus Shinkansen Asama plus bus. You can take a flight to Toyama airport instead of Narita to reach here though. I think flights available from Shanghai to Toyama and v.v.

Only within Nagano ken even if I could go somewhere a bit apart.

Hummm..... 22! Are you trying to get my age, smiler? Hey keba, I guess you are much yonger than I if it's just only for 8 years to ski!!! You are still like a baby to me

Hi Manda. Thanks, that's it. I felt that players were really ojisans and obasans like my parents when I watched it on TV in early '70s but now I feel it kinda my sons and daughters lol.... Wonder if the teams in the 'team roster' are the same ones with teams when I saw them on TV. Teams I remember are LA T-Birds, Chicago hawks, Newyork Chiefs, Texas outlaws, Detroit devils, Boltimore cats, etc. Are they still active?

Oh you're a Greek? PORNBOY LOL My plane landed on Athens and my voyage started there when I traveled around Europe. Could not find enough English signboards instead of Greek signboards which made me feel really lonely. I think that is how you feel in Japan finding only kanji signboards. Even could not buy a subway ticket by myself for Pireus lol Geia sas!? Efharesto! Parakaro!

By the way, what does 'tsonda' for tsondaboy mean? Can't find it in my dictionary.

Celine, was it easy for you to switch? When I tried snowscoot for the first time, it was bloody confusing coz when I wanted to turn left / right , the way to put your weight was quite opposite from skiing

Does anyone remember roller game? Wrestling on wheels. It's an American stuff which was popular in early '70s on TV in Japan. 2 teams fight on wheels skating around the track. Each team has 5 skaters skating around the track, 2 of them wear helmets which are called jammer. 1 period is just for a min. When whitsle is rang, jammers try to skate ahead, players of enemy team try not to let them go. When jammers get one lap ahead and get ahead of players of another team, that is what they score. So if 2 jammers in a team get one lap ahead and get ahead of all players of another te

Grrrrr... In English, it always matters 'by law or rules' kind of things which is not I am accustomed with yet Complicated

No, have you tried it in google or yahoo?

Hum it's like Japanese cigarret boxes say 'kenko no tame, suisugi ni chui shimasho which means roughly Please be careful not to smoke too much for your health'

Quote: Originally posted by tsondaboy: I usually use “mandatory” when a low is involved when something mast be done. i.e.: 2 years military service is mandatory in this country. (you have to do military service by low) “Obligatory” has almost the same meaning but I think it generally applies to the case when a rule or a regulation is involved. i.e.: School uniform is obligatory in Japan. “Required” comes in when it is about a condition or requirement or need. i.e.: you are required to pay the certain sum, in order to ……… new personnel is required in order to expand our enterprise.

lol Could be the case, tsondaboy but SHAberitakattara, not SAberitakattara Practice, practice!

Clock, you can hear some old japanese men say Washi for himself which means 'I'. Usually it's said in Kansai area and western. Good job, Yamakashi - Washi and Onushi are a nice combo Muikabochi, how about saying 'Eigo o shaberita kattara, eigo no sensei to shabette kudasai, boku wa nihongo de shaberi tai' to him?

I am a Japanese as many of you have already known. Maybe I might be able to agree with some of the issues, but I think people are people before talking about their nationality, race etc. People like to categorize others are people like to categorize others. Let's don't care and they just waste their time too much for it. We all eat, sleep, have fun and sh*t lol......

Ah, Captain Stag I mean it for formal occasion like for business documents, web descriptions etc. Sorry if it's vague.

Sounds yum! and almost drool haha! Have to prepare tons of mints when Subzero tries to get in my house

Haha.. okay, maybe too lazy to post
