Someone has asked me to translate some names of Japanese food into English. I'm not a translator and I'm not keen on doing this kind of thing but said I would give it a go.
Many of the items are meals and food. I'm wondering if it is best to just give those romaji names (ie/ soba) or whether to actually translate the meaning, describe what it is (ie/ buckwheat noodles or whatever it is).
What you reckon? Perhaps have both in there though that is increasing my work!

Very swish. Heavier than I imagined, but then again it does look pretty amazing. Cpn Kirk would have wanted one of these.
And HE's imaginary, too!

If you can't get it off, I'd take it in to the local shop and see what they say.

What, you mean the rad dude-ness of some words?
Heavy snowfall seems good to me. -

6 days. Good ones though.

I know it's only a forecast but anyone heard any long term for the next 3 months? I feel it hasn't been as hot this last few weeks compared to usual, so hoping for perhaps a summer not as scary hot as usual...

Fine photos this season muikabochi. Thanks for sharing so many.
Would a blue filter do good in that situation too?

I knew Eamonn Murphy.
Very sad.
Quote:Three men killed in an avalanche on one of Scotland's most dangerous mountains were named last night as warnings were given to climbers that the risk of further slides will remain high over the next few days.Eamonn Murphy, 61, from CarrickÂfergus, Co Antrim, and his brother John Murphy, 63, from Portrush, Co Antrim, died along with Brian Murray, 46, from Monifieth, Tayside, when they were engulfed by thousands of tonnes of snow on Buachaille Etive Mor, near Glencoe.
Eamonn Murphy was a well-known Âartist and former teacher who had exhibited his work at shows in Northern ÂIreland, including at the Royal Ulster Academy. He was married with children and grandchildren.
The men were among several separate groups of experienced climbers who were taking the "easy" way up Coire na Tulaich, a gully about 10 metres wide by 20 metres deep, when the avalanche struck at about midday on Saturday. The snow could have been moving at up to 75mph.
John Grieve, Glencoe Mountain Rescue's team leader, said a climber who had just reached the top of a ridge dislodged a slab of snow which brought down another nine people coming up behind him, Â carrying them about 200 metres down the mountain. The climber who inadvertently caused the avalanche managed to avoid being swept away by digging in with his ice axe and used his mobile phone to call 999.
A climber, Tom Richardson, 54, from Sheffield, said: "As I got to the top of the pass, the edge of the slope – it wasn't corniced – broke away and we were taken down an avalanche. Some of us rode out the top of it and others got buried."

Haha yes photos are good.
Luckily he said they don't have much space so just write the romaji.
