I went to the Lake District on holiday. Have you heard of Beatrix Potter? She wrote a famous children's book called "ピーターラビットのお話”. I went to see her house and her art gallery. But even though it's only four hours away from where I live by car, sometimes it's hard to understand the dialect in the north of England! I learnt Tokyo Japanese too, so when I lived in Osaka, it was hard to understand some people. 私のりょう父は濃い関西弁で話したし、いつも茶色のス エータを着たし、留学生のみなさんで「くま父さん」と 言いました。He would greet me in the morning, but I could hardly understand his accent, so it always sounded like 「あ、おだまきさん、。。。くまくまくまくまくま〜』 I found people in Japan were quite kind about giving me directions and things, especially in Tokyo. My parents were helped a lot, because they don't speak or read any Japanese they found it difficult to find places, but often people on the street would stop to help them, without even being asked. :) |

sorry, I meant " BACKWARDS ". so ZYXWVUT... not ABCDEFG and the website, I'm afraid that you need to get " the rights " to use it. Can you erase it please? Quote:
I did it when I was 10 and since then I don't practice but still can recall all of them. I should have studied harder when I was young! |

Do you sometimes talk to them too? I mean not like a mad, but.... I would say " sorry! " if I accidentally dropped it or something. I don't like to see people throwing or kicking them... maybe I'm too naive but maybe because there are face on it... I see. so I can say like to the kid " Where is your toy bear? " or " You have a cute toy tutle. " Thank you! Quote:
I do it when I want to explain about the unusual stuff. Quote:
はい、私も北海道には短期間ではなく長期間の旅をした いと思います! 私の親戚が函館に住んでいます。 I will come back to talk about the Peter Rabbit and your 茶色い熊みたいな寮のおとうさん;) later! Thanks! Your stories are alway interesting and make me smile:) |

Yes, many Japanese people especially girls know the Peter Rabbit, you can see the rabbits on the bottle of mayonase here in Japan:) Does also Hastings have something to do with the author? I remember I found a lovely wooden building full of Peter Rabbit and his friends! I bought a set of writing paper there. Next time, I will love to travel north part of England. My favourite English teacher was from Manchester (now she lives in Australia), but I haven't been there yet. Quote:

and yes, people in England helped me a lot too! It's funny, but I got a lot of help while I was travelling northern part of Japan, even I didn't ask them. Maybe because I was travelling alone. It's kind of the first time for me to get that much of help by Japanese! So I really want to go back there again! Have a good day:ywave: P.S. Have you seen " Summer Wars " the movie? |
What did he mean?

The north of England was heavily influenced by people from Scandinavia, especially Norway, so lots of words and pronunciations are still loosely based on the Old Norse language. Also several places in the far north used to speak celtic languages, not english. :) Quote:

I haven't seen Summer Wars yet. I'm going to see if I can find a copy though. I really want to watch it! Quote:

Can I say " cool biscuits (or bickies) " ;) ? Quote:

I don't know why but I got the feelings that I shouldn't have talked to the strangers often in Hastings...so I had no chance to ask anyone what it was... One of my best friends used to homestay there, and she strongly recommended me to stay with the family there too so I did. I enjoyed the beautiful beachs and all the tiny little shops and all that, but Hastings wasn't my favourite... I didn't meet any bad people at all, but why!? Is Hastings too touristy place? Quote:

I did that "puppet show" to my exboyfriend when I was drunk. I asked him to stop watching the sports news late at night, cos he kept changing the channels but the results were the same every where! (Am I right?), but he kept saying あとちょっとだけ あとちょっとだけ ..., but his あとちょっと was like forever!! So grabbed his gumdam toys, 2 of them, and I did that stupid show like: Me " Hey my friend Gumdam. What do you think about his attitude? Do you think it was my big mistake going out with that boy?" Gundam " Yeah, you made a big mistake. Dump him! " Me " Oh you reckon? What do you think Mr.Char Aznable? " Char " He is just a kid. I can make him cry if you want" Me " Really? Oh you're such a nice man Mr.Char Aznable! Go go! " Char " Hey XXX (my ex's name), Stop watching the bloddy Telly! Listen to me or she will be mine! 5,4,3,2,1..." My ex laught hilarious and said OK. Yeah.... I haven't done that kind of show for a loooooong time. I think I need a lot of yummy wine. hahaha. Quote:

There are many type of footballs, I can't follow all of them, but I love soccer. In Australia, they have another type of football called Aussie Rules and I liked it too. I don't know why guys do that, watching all the channels for the same results!? Quote:
My little sister had some but maybe around 10. They are bunnies? mice? We had many of these. You might have seen some of them when you were in Japan maybe? モンチッチホームページ - 商品紹介|シリーズ|ドレスモンチッチ |
