幼いごろに読んだ漫画を読み返そうと思いました
幼いごろに読んだ少女漫画を読み返そうとしたが、結局恥ずかしがるのあまりにできませんでした。それに、当時に中学生の私は年の差があるでも気にしなかったんだけど、今は大人になった私は先生と生徒などの恋愛関係は絶対に許せません。違法の関係の置いても、普通の同い年の学生の恋愛漫画でも、熱情すぎてほとんど子供っぽくて読めません。でも、もう少女漫画や高校生恋愛漫画は全部読めないわけでもありません。例えば、まだ「らんま1/2」や「月刊少女野崎くん」など好きです。今は、高校生ではなく、社会人の登場人物のほうがいいと思います。最近、「盛り上がらないデート」という漫画に引き込まれています。
明日の日記はこの漫画についてしおきますね。

Sleeping Outside
Decades ago, summer in the countryside was very hot. Back then, I was a child living in a village with my family.
Our village had no access to electricity, let alone use electrical appliances. At night, villagers loved to sleep in the fields to cool off.
We children liked to gather together when sleeping outside. Usually, our village had a few threshing grounds, which were flat and clean, making them nice places to sleep.
When we went to the grounds, we carried a pillow under our arms, a sheet in our hands, and a reed mat on our heads.
The ground was much cooler than indoors and there was always a breeze. We spread the mat on the ground, lay down, and started chatting.
We talked about almost everything, though most of it was trivial.
Older children would tell us stories they’d heard from adults—some from ancient Chinese myths, or tales about the stars right above us—while we listened to the soft chirping of summer insects.
In this setting, we tended to stay up later, wanting to enjoy the surroundings a little longer.
We would wake up early the next morning, as it got light early in the fields and dew had wet our sheets.
Honestly speaking, we couldn’t sleep well outside, but we kept doing it all summer. It felt like a tradition of sorts. I now wonder if that was a form of primitive camping?

Bin ich introvertiert oder extrovertiert?
Ich weiß eigentlich nicht. Ich bin eher still, aber verschiedene Dinge sind in meinem Leben vorgekommen, die mich so gemacht haben könnten. Wenn ich mit anderen Leuten bin, habe ich kein Problem, mich auszudrücken und zu sprechen. Aber meistens habe ich den Eindruck, dass ich sehr verschieden von anderen Menschen bin. Es ist auch für mich schwierig, tiefe Verbindungen aufzubauen. Ich weiß, dass ich ein sozialer Mensch sein könnte. Allerdings muss ich zuerst lösen, was ich noch nicht gelöst habe.

A Small Discovery
I have been collecting some information about Yu Yuan( Yu Garden) recently. By chance, I discovered a painting of the Nine-Zigzag Bridge and the Mid-Lake Pavilion created by a British female painter in 1924 (102 years ago).
It is a tragic coincidence that right after this artwork was finished, a fire broke out, devastating the wooden bridge and damaging the tea house. This painting may have captured the final view of the original structures before they were lost to the flames.
What a tangible piece of history!

The exception proves the rule
In my life I offen hear the phrase "The exception proves the rule" from people, who present this phrase as an argument in different discussions.
By the phrase they mean - the existance of fact that is derived from a commom case - makes this rule better than it could be without an exceprion.
In my opinion, there is a small misconceprion which formed from two moments.
The first one that people feel the rule more sharply when among a lot of similar examples / cases (like a flat floor) your attention hit on by one unconvinient exception (like a knock-out plank).
And the second one is just as cool the phrase sounds and makes able to give a lucky punch to others in a discussion.
My conslusion is simple and obvious - any rule without exceptions is stronger than the same rule with them.

Issuarance Driver License in Japan
One of my American friends asked me to help him.
He needs to translate his American driver's license into Japanese.
His physical license doesn't qualify to prove that he had the qualification for 3 month in his country because once he lost it and the date was renewed.
He has a copy of previous license and he wonders if it should be translated as well.
I phoned the office twice but they were too busy, so the announce ended the calls.
When he visits the office, I would like to be an interpreter for him.

Иллюзия безопасности
Геолокация детей смартфоном становится ещё популярнее среди родителей здесь. Вчера я смотрел репортаж об этом. Благодаря трекерам GPS, родители могут присматривать за движениями детей в реальном времени. Они могут проверять, что они в классе, а не в городе с друзьями, например. Прежде всего они чувствуют себя спокойнее. Так как они всегда знают, где находится ребёнок, они думают, что эта система предотвращает неприятные встречи.
Но что делают преступники в первую очередь, когда похищают ребёнка? Наверно они выбрасывают телефон! Независимо от всех вопросах про уважение личной жизни, мне кажется, что разработчики таких решений продают иллюзию безопасности, не настоящую безопасность... Однако клиентам этого достаточно.

Taichi
Taichi has a history of over 300 years.
It's known for its slow, graceful movements and deep breathing techniques.
Have you ever seen people moving slowly and gracefully in the park?
It's an ancient Chinese martial art that combines exercise, meditation and philosophy.
Taichi is very easy to learn.
Tachi is not just an exercise.
It also teaches us patience and harmony.

The Global Rise of Japanese Learners
The number of non‑Japanese staff has reportedly tripled in the past three years in Japanese Animation industry. Many of them follow a similar path: they study Japanese either in their home country or in Japan, and then apply for jobs at Japanese animation studios.
After returning home, many continue to work online, and there are now more than 300 overseas studios involved in Japanese animation. This shows that former employees are helping maintain animation quality even from abroad. They are really indispensable workforce for Japan.
Today’s Nikkei reports that the number of Japanese learners has been increasing worldwide, because Japanese language skills often lead to better job opportunities across many industries, including animation studios. According to Duolingo, Japanese is now the fourth most‑studied language, ranking above other Asian languages such as Chinese and Korean.

Une conversation fictive
(Ça fait longtemps depuis j'ai écrit sur LangCorrect. Je suis désolée si les phrases sont trop longues!)
« Hé, Jacques ! Tu t'es reveillé ? » Louis a dit en ouvrant la porte d'appartement de son ami.
« Eh, ouais. Pourquoi ? T'as besoin de quelque chose ? » Jacques a répondu.
« Tu veux aller chez George avec moi ? On peut prendre le diner en chemin ! » Louis a continué.. « Je te promets qu'il sera amusant ! »
« Ben ça semble amusant mais j'ai pas de billets de bus, et chez George est loin.. » ..mais avant Jacques pourrait continuer..
« Mec, tu *sais* que je peux en acheter un pour toi. Tu dois pas demander. » Louis a l'air pas impressionné.
« Ouf.. okay. S'il m'y faut aller.. » Jacques a marché vers son sac. « Mais tu vas éxpliquer pourquoi on l'a attendu pas avant aller le resto.. »
« Si c'est un problème, on peut manger après on le recontre. » Louis a quitté l'appartement, mais pas avant dire.. « Maintenant, lève-toi ! On doit aller à la gare ! »
Alors Jacques a suivi Louis à la gare, et ils ont pris le train pour voir leur ami, George.
Ils ont mangé avant passer la nuit chez lui. Fin.

My First Blog in English
Hello!
I'm Baitu.
I'm Japanese.
Baitu is written as「白兎」in Chinese character.
「白兎」corresponds to "white rabbit" in English.
Baitu is not a Japanese pronunciation, but a Chinese one.
Besides English, I also study Chinese and Russian.
I often read foreign language books, and watch videos on YouTube.
I am confident in reading and listening, but I don't like communicating with other people in foreign languages.
Unfortunately, I don't have many chances to communicate with native speakers.
Nowadays, I join the English conversation class, which the city hall offers for citizens.
I'm too shy to speak English or even Japanese in public, so I'm not used to the class yet.
I love Disney.
Of course, I visit Tokyo Disney Resort a few times a year, and I also watch Disney movies.
I've also been to Hong Kong Disneyland once.
My dream is flying to the original Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
However, I can't bear long flights.
Even the six-hour flight to Hong Kong bothered me, I might get more irritated on a flight to the U.S.
Surprisingly, it has been reported that Japanese airline, ZIPAIR is now offering the direct flight to Orlando this summer.
So, I'm checking my schedule, but I probably won’t be able to go.
Bye.

Why do French people drink so much?
According to statistics, the average French person drinks 70 bottles of wine each year.
They start with a glass of sparkling wine before each meal to whet their appetite.
When the appetizers arrive they drink a crisp white wine.
When the steak comes, red wine is appropriate to enhance its flavour.
The meal is finished; do they stop drinking?
No yet, there is still one more glass of wine called digestif.
Actually, they never drink wine to get drunk, but to make each dish more delicious.

Black Tea
Recently, I have been drinking black tea. The tea brand is "凤" (Fèng), which means "Phoenix," and its variant is "经典58" (Jīngdiǎn 58, meaning "Classic 58"). It is produced in Fengqing County, a highland county in Yunnan Province.
China has several different black tea brands, among which the famous ones are "祁门红茶" (Qímén Hóngchá), "正山小种" (Zhèngshān Xiǎozhǒng), "英德红茶" (Yīngdé Hóngchá), and "滇红" (Diānhóng). "滇" (Diān) is the abbreviation for Yunnan Province, so "经典58" is also a type of "滇红" (Diānhóng).
I have tried "正山小种" (Zhèngshān Xiǎozhǒng). It is too expensive and isn’t that tasty, at least for me. "祁门红茶" (Qímén Hóngchá) is produced in my province. I tried it first of all. It has an affordable price and tastes okay. "英德红茶" (Yīngdé Hóngchá) is cheap but not very tasty.
So I have ended up drinking "经典58" regularly. It tastes pretty good and is affordable, priced at about 20 yuan per 50 grams.
Most people who like black tea choose "经典58" and drink it all year round.
I don’t drink strong black tea. I just put a few tea leaves in, so that the tea isn’t too bland, allowing me to drink it regularly to stay healthy.
Since I only drink light-flavored tea, 200 grams of tea may be enough for me for a whole year. This only costs 80 yuan. How economical!
