pics from Mexico City (MEX)

2008-11-11T08:48:00.001+09:00

Mexico city is the city of art.
i stayed at a park zone called Chapultepec.
there are tree every where like in the jungle.
and the jungle, there are lots of museum, theater and also zoo.
on the pavement road, there are many sculpture, where small plate are placed nearby to explain the artist and the purpose of the sculpture.

From the sky, we can see the city is really well design. the roads are in cross like in chess . the color of the building are too interesting. some block are light green, some blocks are pink and some are beige.

during my visit there was a "Day of the Death". so there are human skull everywhere in the city public area, also in private space of the house.
people here believe that death is glory. so on the day, they make their meal look like human skull and write their ancester name on and eat them at last to show their respect.

even it is good place, night time is not a safety place to visit.
i haven't met any problem during my visit but at night it is really calm except during the festival or any traditional ceremony.

37-year-old woman arrested for using lost credit card at Tokyo Disneyland

Thursday 16th October, 01:58 PM JST

CHIBA —Police on Wednesday arrested a 37-year-old housewife for buying 65 one-day passports for Tokyo Disneyland with a credit card she found in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture.

Kyoko Kuroda was arrested for allegedly using the lost credit card at Tokyo Disneyland’s ticket counter to buy the passports worth about 350,000 yen on Sept 15. According to police, Kuroda found the credit card inside Tokyo Disneyland while she was there with her 8-year-old son.

Kuroda bought 65 passes around 2:30 p.m. and tried to buy more around 4:55 p.m. but the credit card company reported the fraud use to Disneyland. Kuroda tried to flee into the theme park but was soon caught by Disneyland staff.

Kuroda denied the allegations at first but finally confessed, saying, “I wanted to exchange the passes for money to pay back a housing loan.”

According to police, the bear attacked Hatsui Toda, 75, around 6:40 a.m. when she was collecting nuts in the forest. About 20 minutes later, Kazumasa Ishida, 68, was also attacked by what is believed to have been the same bear on a road about 2 km from the forest.

Club Friend Help Friend

2008-08-18T14:12:00.005+09:00

Two years ago some of my friends that graduated from the Insitute of Technology of Cambodia in 2003 (known as Ingénier 2003) initiate a program to dig wells (for get drinking water) to some communes in some remote areas that can not access to clean water. They selected one commune in Udong district as a pilot project. Interestingly, after their first project, known as TechnoCharity, in that commune, another charity group creat a club called "Club Friend Help Friend" to teach English to the children there.

Although now i don't see any new "digging well project" but i see that my friends still contribute to that community by providing books (their English books that they have used in the past and no longer need), study materials, old clothes, and other logistics.

I don't know why my friends stop talking about the "digging well project" after they initiated one well by raising money from our own group and getting other financial support from oversea such as France. However, I hope that my friends' group activities and charity can help initiate other kinds of charities to help our next generation human resource.

We're conducting this project as volunteers and not aiming to gain (political) fame or other purposes. And we are doing under the slogan "Together we can make a change".

I watch Japanese TV programs and I saw several Japanese TV MC try to raise funds to help our children. Why don't we (for those who are capable of doing sth) try to help ourselves (next generation)?

I hope that this message can spread among the people that visit our blog and can spread this idea further.

Joke: the wedding test

2008-05-26T12:59:00.003+09:00

Don't forget to check the moral of that story. I just copy from my friend.

------------------------
THE WEDDING TEST

I was a very happy man.

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so
we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering
me...It was her beautiful younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts,
and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near
me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate.
Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day she called and asked me to come over to check the wedding
invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she
had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me
that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to
her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, 'I'm going
upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up
and get me.'

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I
stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the
front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.

To my surprise, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, 'We are very
happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better
man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'

The moral of this story is:

Always keep your condoms in your car !

i got a job

Forever love song: "Dreaming of you" by Salena

2008-05-13T16:13:00.003+09:00

Well, it's almost 2 months that i haven't posted any new song. This time, it's a love song. Hope you like it. First paragraph is "Dreaming of you" but last one is "Dreaming with you" .... cool ha!

Hey, other members, post new topic pls!

Here is the lyrics so that Nishi-kun can understand it well.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...

The GOOD Husband (joke)

2008-04-27T21:17:00.000+09:00

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk.

Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: 'Hello'

WOMAN: 'Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?'

MAN: 'Yes'

WOMAN: 'I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?'

MAN: 'Sure, ..go ahead if you like it that much.'

WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005 models. I saw one I really liked.'

MAN: 'How much?'

WOMAN: '$65,000'

MAN: 'OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.'

WOMAN: 'Great! Oh, and one more thing .... The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000.'

MAN: 'Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000.'

WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you!'

MAN: 'Bye, I love you, too.' The man hangs up.

The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he smiles and asks:

'Anyone know whose phone this is?

Knock, Knock, It's the FBI

2008-04-27T15:26:00.003+09:00

In Japan, i think FBI does not exist, but as this country is bounded by law, you maybe under-arrest by Japanese cops--all is about child porn and attracking pedophiles. For more detail, see the link below

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/145174/knock_knock_its_the_fbi.html

By the way, i'm not sure it is true or not as i get this info from PCWorld web. Judge it by yourself. It's just a precaution to you all.

PS: this link is not created by FBI to attrack pedophiles, so it is safe to click on it.... haha.... (this comment is for fun as you are not pedophile, i hope)

Eco-idea: Putting discarded umbrellas to good use

Rose for Saint Valentine's Day

2008-01-17T23:12:00.000+09:00

Valentine's Day is coming soon. Wondering what to give to your love one(s)?

In Japan, the custom is girl gives chocolate to boy. But universally, it's the boy who must give a souvenir. Ideally, rose is the most common, but what color should be given?

Red rose: Deepest love and respect

White rose: Innocence

Below is the answer (Exerpted from Wikipedia.org. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose). Hopefully this can give you some clue to decide and to tell another person what you're think of him/her.

According to the Robert Bangert"language of flowers", certain rose colors carry specific symbolic meanings.

Red: love, "I Love You"

Pink: grace, gentle feelings of love
Dark Pink: gratitude

Light Pink: admiration, sympathy

White: innocence, purity, secrecy, friendship, reverence and humility.

Yellow: often akin to joy and deep friendship or platonic love. In German speaking countries, however, they can mean jealousy and infidelity.

Yellow with red tips: Friendship, falling in love

Orange: passion

Burgundy: beauty

Blue: mystery
o Further information: blue rose

Green: calm

Black: used to signify death (black being the color of death) often of old habits. In a positive light it signifies rebirth after death. Also, slavish devotion (as a true black rose is impossible to produce).

Purple: protection (paternal/maternal love)

The rose also has various supernatural and literary attributes.

Gov't considering Japanese ability as visa requirement for long-term residents

Gov't considering Japanese ability as visa requirement for long-term residents

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at 12:11 EST

TOKYO — Japan is considering adding Japanese language requirement for foreign nationals seeking entry visas for long-term residency and when renewing their visas, Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura said Tuesday.

Komura cited reasons such as the need for foreigners to be able to speak Japanese to fit into the Japanese society. While he gave no further explanation, the envisioned measure is believed to be aimed at eradicating illegal residency and likely part of antiterrorism policies.
"For foreign people living in Japan to be able to speak Japanese is not only important for improving their own quality of life, but also necessary for the Japanese society as a whole," Komura told a news conference.

"It would be a very good thing if this helps build momentum for learning Japanese language in the respective home countries of foreign people living in Japan," he added.

The minister said the Foreign Ministry and the Justice Ministry will soon begin full-fledged consultations. Work visas are expected to be the main target of the new policy, a Justice Ministry official said.

Japan recently tightened its immigration control and began fingerprinting and photographing all foreign nationals entering Japan from Nov 20, exempting only visitors under age 16, special permanent residents and diplomats.

As of the end of 2006, there were 2.09 million foreigners registered for permanent and non-permanent residency in Japan, including those for work and study.

Among them, Koreans form the largest group at 28.7 percent of all foreigners, followed by a rapidly rising number of Chinese, and Brazilians — many with Japanese ancestry.

Universal Studio of Japan, USJ

2008-01-11T21:33:00.000+09:00

The universal Studio of Japan, lacated in Osaca, is a good place to visit. It is a kind of entertainment place for tourist, although lacal, national or international, like Disney land and Disney sea. A small different may be that the USJ seems to be for Adults while the Disney land and sea are rather for chindren. In the studio, there are a number of enjoyable activities we should try. The first impression is often the achitectural style, decoration, arrangement and management of the infrastruture attached with several facilities in site. Some buildings are disigned just like those in cartoon, some are in modern style while others might take ones back decades ago. In addtion to this, gardens, trees, streetlights and water mill are lift up, giving that great place more beauty and making it a romantic spot for, maybe, Lovers??? lolz...Moreover, we can take not only many ride attrations like Roller Caster (Not recommended...lol...), Spider man and Jurassic park but also we can enjoy some kind of show attrations like 3D or 4D movie and so on. In brief, It is amazing to visit USJ especially if u haven't been at kind of place yet. However, it is recommended to go with friends or maybe lovers (best choice) for u might have to wait for long time (about 1hour) just to take one attration.

New year 2008

2008-01-06T23:40:00.001+09:00

December 31th, the last day of 2007, was a really a happy but exhausting day, Year End's day. There were a number of activities such as community presentation, party, contest, dance, count down and bowling. As can be seen in the photo, it was already 5:48am after playing bowling, but we were still standing in the subway station waiting for train, not to go back home and sleep, but to have breakfast. Although it was that late, we seemed to be enegetic. For instance, a man in the photos still had a big smile with a giving thumb while taking the photo. He probably wanted to show his style or his being happy and still willing to go on or maybe he just gave the photo taker appreciation and encouragement!. The photo also indicates the stronger relationship among the members of our community for we did go, chat, sit, stand and take photo together. Moreover it proves the equality between man and woman or boy and girl...lolz...of Cambodian students in chubu and maybe in Japan as the whole. In the photo, if looking closer, we can see two ladies but actually there were few more behind the photographer. It shows that lady also can go out and play at night like man. In short, it is really good and beneficial to have that kind of celebration and we hope there would be more that kind of event...lolz...

What Diabetes Is, How It Is Treated, and What You Can Do to Prevent It

2007-12-19T16:29:00.000+09:00

Diabetes is the name for a medical condition in which too much glucose, or sugar, builds up in the blood. Diabetes develops when the body does not make enough of the hormone insulin or makes no insulin at all. It also can develop when the body is not able to use the insulin that is made.

There are two main kinds of diabetes: type one and type two. Type one diabetes generally affects children and young people. It results from a lack of insulin production. The exact cause is not known.

Signs of the disease may develop suddenly. People suffering from type one Diabetes may develop a strong desire for food or something to drink. Other signs are increased production of liquid wastes, loss of body weight, changes in eyesight and feeling extremely tired.

Most people with type two diabetes are overweight and need physical exercise. Their bodies cannot produce enough insulin to reduce glucose levels in their blood. Or their bodies do not react correctly to the insulin being produced.

Signs of type two diabetes are similar to those of type one. But experts say many people with type two diabetes have no signs. As a result, the disease may not be recognized until after the patient has already begun to develop medical problems.

Experts say genes seem to be important in the development of diabetes. They say that about ninety percent of those with type two diabetes have family members who also had the disease.

Japan promises $100 mln of concession loan for Cambodia to reduce poverty

PHNOM PENH, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Japanese government has pledged to provide 100 million U.S. dollars of concession loan each year for Cambodia to facilitate its poverty reduction efforts, said Prime Minister Hun Sen here on Thursday.The loan will be increased by one third on annual basis and the interest rate will keep as low as 0.01 percent, he told the construction ceremony of counter-flood facilities on the Tonle SapRiver bank in Phnom Penh.Cambodia will pay it back in 40 years, he said, without giving other technical details of the loan."I urge the Cambodian government officials and the Japanese experts here to quickly take the loan to help and develop the poverty reduction projects," he added.The loan deal was reached by both parties while Hun Sen paid his recent visit to Singapore to attend the ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asia Nations) meetings.International institutions have put the poverty rate of the kingdom at 35 percent.

Want to Stay Warm in Winter? Think COLD

2007-12-12T22:04:00.000+09:00

Winter is coming. Are you ready?

Winter to me is snow and having fun activity such as skiing, making snow man, christmas and so forth. But cold weather can cause people to suffer frostbite and hypothemia. These can cause minor damage to your health and sometimes deadly.

Thus, you must be ready (esp. for those who just face winter for the first time). Think of COLD.
- C: Cover
- O: Overexertion
- L: Layers
- D: Dry

As recommended in L, you should wear many layers of clothes rather than just one thick jacket (opposed to Mr. Kimret's idea about how to wear).

For full detail, visit http://voanews.com/specialenglish/2007-12-11-voa3.cfm

Have fun in winter season. Be safe.

PS: for the who has someone inside her body, i think she can go skiing this year. Poor you are. However, congratulation those those couple.

NHK develops tracking system for pirated movies

2007-12-06T13:46:00.000+09:00

Thursday, December 6, 2007 at 07:45 EST

TOKYO — NHK on Wednesday unveiled a new system to put hidden identifiers into films to trace counterfeit works distributed over the Internet. The system, developed with Mitsubishi Electric Corp, consists of highly detailed electronic signals which are put inside films and other visual works but invisible to the human eye.

If a person copies the film at a cinema or in front of a television screen, his or her camera will automatically tape the signal which will stay in the machine's memory. Automatic software can then search the Internet using the coded signal to find any works that have been illegally copied.
"The signal will stay and can be traced, even if only part of the image is put on line," NHK and Mitsubishi Electric said in a joint statement. "We hope that this system, once fine-tuned, will manage to better protect the rights of copyright holders," the companies said, adding they eyed to put it into use soon.

The code can also help authorities trace the exact cinema and screening at which the person illegally taped a film.

Student Association

2007-11-27T15:04:00.000+09:00

History:

More than 10 years ago, Cambodian students have again come to study in Japan. The number of students have increased year by year. Then, CSAJ (Cambodian Students Association in Japan) based in Tokyo was created to serve as the interface for the communication between Cambodian students in Japan.

However, with more increase of student numbers in many parts of Japan, leads to difficulty in control by CSAJ alone. As the result, about 5 years ago, students in remote areas have estiblished associations in Kyushu, Kansai and Nagoya to serve the purpose of garthering and communication.

Bear the idea of unification of Cambodian students in Japan, only one student association should exist in Japan. Regional student association in Japan should be classified under the highest hierachy- CSAJ. To meet the logic of the hierachy, the Tokyo based association was changed to CSAK( Cmbodian Student association in Kanto).

As the resutlt, under CSAJ, now there are Kanto Club, Kyushu Club, Kansai Club and CSAN.

Problem:
Under geographic hierachy, we in Toyohashi should be in Cambodian Student Association in Chubu, which doesnt exist. The existing association in this area is the CSAN(Cambodian Student Association in Nagoya). As the name says, it is originally created to serve students in Nagoya only.

As the fact, we in Toyohashi do not belong to any assocition althogh we are close to CSAN.

Point:

There is an idea that:
--> Studentin Toyohashi should belong to some association.
--> CSAN should open to integrate all students in Chubu area as member.

Action:
What should we do? There are 3 options:
1) Stay unbelonged as now
2) Integrated with CSAN
3) Create a new association
-----> Lets discuss and give your idea with condition and decision

Related event:
Students in Nagoya will also discuss about this problem in their annual assembly December 1, 2007.
Our decision and condtions will be taken into account. And we are invited to the meeting.
