HI GONative--------- Actually we don't see so many kids out-- because many are indoors on their computers. The playparks are not so full of kids playing as there used to be. We do now have a decent skateboard park and its great to see mostly boys practising. I strongly feel that all children need some other interests or hobbies in lives apart from constant studying. Are music lessons available do you know-- at school? here we seem to have dropped Music in manyof our schools which is detrimental. |
lol @ watashi wa ..charisma man desu and how suddenly he has chiseled features.
Hilarious! Along with what was being said on "things handed to the younger generations" (paraphrased of course): It's funny to hear some college kids talk about their 6 figure jobs and/or corner office complete-with-desk-to-use-as-foot-rest that are, apparently, on the way. All that's left is graduating and applying for tha job. It's true that SOME of the younger generations are a bit naive as to what it takes to actually "make it" (financially I suppose we're talking about). Ah well, I was the same way...and I'm sure a lot of others were and eventually you'll figure it out or......you'll die. (okay maybe a little dramatic there) A quote from the owner of a micro-brewery that stuck with me: " You know the old saying...It took me 20 years to become an overnight success." It's the age old saying of the older generations: "back in the day..music was better" "back when I was growing up kids were more respectful" "when I was younger people had values" "when i was younger when milk was a quarter and bread a nickle..." |

But yes. Cheese. I sorely missed proper cheese in Japan. and sausages. I never noticed about the vinegar myself, but one of my Japanese friends said she found it too strong, because in Japan normally the table vinegar was for putting on salads? |
Quote:
Table vinegar is usually for dumplings=餃子 or for Ramen noodles I think. Never used it on salad myself. But it is white vinegar and you never see malt vinegar. Even here in the states, I don't see it that often. mmm now I feel like fresh chips with a lot of malt vinegar on :drool: |

If any country in Asia is the exception, I'd imagine it would be Japan :p If I was there for any extended period of time without regular bread I think I'd begin to miss it despite my love for exotic and new foods. |

I've heard Vietnam has good western style bread though. And judging from our local Vietnamese restaurant, that may be true. |
