Wow, thanks for the links everyone. I'll be entertained for a good while. ^__^
Komatsu's blog had a picture of her by a snowman. Has it been snowing much in Japan? It hasn't snowed at all here yet. I am surprised because my area usually gets a lot of snow. Global warming? :P
>>416 It snows a lot in some places, especially in areas along the Sea of Japan. Japanese archipelago is very long in north and south. Its climate varies from subarctic to tropical.
By the way, do you know where the Japan is located in the world map? Because people don't seem to know much about where the foreign countries are. www.chakuriki.net/world20050613.html
>>421 Of course I know. ^_^ It seems that Japanese maps are switched from American ones. The continents are on opposite sides, huh? I've heard that on Chinese maps, China is in the middle. Maps are really funny when you think about it. mailman.geo.uu.nl/pipermail/maphist/2003-March/001854.html
>>422 Right, we call the US continent Far East and the Europe Far West.
..Just kidding. I also heard the maps in Australia are upside down. After all, we are all self-oriented. People tend to think they are the center of the world.
>>425 Hmm, 2ch talk in a video might be a good idea! >>426 Haha. I think I said "Ow" the last time I got badly shocked. I say "God damn it!!" when I spill something all over.
>>427 That's interesting. I didn't even notice that you had a world map in your room though I watched that video many times.
As for the 2ch talk video, I don't think its a good idea because it will draw too much attentions from all over the 2channel. It usually ends up flame war. =(
The asker below are disappointed that there are no books on casual Japanese words. But the only Japanese word he said, the last one is ... おながいします, it's just 2ch slang!!
>>449 Good morning. ^_~ >>450 Yes, it seems like the only books I see are either veru polite Japanese, or insults and sex talk. But, isn't that OK? Because, when you first get to Japan, you shouldn't speak too casually, right? Then, when you get familiar with people and they are casual around you, you will learn the casual talk from them. I wouldn't want to make the mistake of being familiar with people too early.
I learn the slang here and there... ^_~ >>463 Rather play games than have a girlfriend? There's nothing wrong with that, and more power to you for knowing what you want! I hope you find a girl someday who loves to do two-player. (^_^)b
>>466 POSTING AND YOU? If you want such a direct answer, why not send me a message on YouTube??
Good evening Magibon I have a favorite girl now. She is striking the register in the shop. And, I want to make friends with her. Should I talk to little by little? Should I speak that it wants to make friends at once? As which is good if it is Magi do you think?
>>468 I don't think you should ask her out all at once. It's not nice to put her on the spot like that, especially at work. Besides, I worked at stores before, and I never said yes to anyone who asked me out. Just be nice to her, and see if she asks you someday, or tries to get you to ask her. Good luck!
>>476 If she seems to really be hinting at it by saying things like "I want to go to this place, but I don't want to go by myself," or "I bet you'd really like my cookies." Obvious stuff like that.
Ok, I have to go for awhile. I'll talk to you guys later. Don't mind the 冬厨. ^_^
I don't think Japanese part-timer girls will display their feelings toward a customer in such obvious ways even when they have somebody in mind. They don't even chat with their customers like some American shop clerks do.
2ch slangs are not used in real life. So if you use 冬厨 or Warota or something like that in talking with your friends,people around you will keep away from you soon.

I think everybody misunderstood >>496 It's a confusing sentence for us. They might have thought that you were leaving but would be back in a while.
Britney Spears is a popular singer here, but probably not as popular as she is in the US. Her recent pics are floating around 2 channel, because you know..
>>506 Oh, you're right. The difference between "for awhile" and "in awhile" is really big for such a little word.
Yes, that's why she's in the news so much lately. She filed for divorce and then did all sorts of crazy things to get attention for herself. This is how she will sell many CDs when her new album is released.
>>505 And Arnold Schwarzenegger is called Shuwa-chan It's funny because -chan is usually only used for someone/something kawaii, like young girls, kids, or puppies.
>>507 If she were a Japanese celeb, that would have been her end. She is an entertainer. I think it doesn't really matter how she entertains us all. But that is maybe because I am a man. Some of her songs are very good. I have some in my iPod too.
