1. The cat
I finally learned why the cat it named Nihango. Nihan is the Japanese version of Meow. And "go" means word or language. So I'd translate Nihango to something like The one who says Meow, Speaks in Meows, The Meower, etc. Quite an appropriate name for a cat, don't you think?
2. Cars
I really really really REALLY don't like Japanese cars, or Japanese bikes, or Japanese roads, or Japanese traffic. Not one day goes by without me being scared for my life because of one of the above.
3. This Weekend
Saturday I'll be going to Kyoto to make Japanese cake with a group of people including my speaking partner. I was planning on Sunday being my personal Tinker Day, but I have yet to research a mountain to climb, so we'll see. I may just embrace the Tinker Day spirit and wing it. I decided to climb the mountain at the last minute last year and I see no reason for this year to be any different.
4. ZZZZ
I'm sorry, I'm tired. Don't know why, I've been sleeping. Maybe it's the rain. Rain makes me sleepy. . . zzzz
Okay, sorry, but I'm going to give up on this now. I'm going to sleep a bit now, so I can stay awake in my class next hour.
Love the cat's name!! What is Japanese cake? Is it a generic cake like chocolate cake or is it some sort of a special cake? How close to the mountains are you? Why don't you take the whole group and do your own version of Japanese Tinker Day?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually more of a sweet chip or hard candy, a thin strip of yummy! There are mountains pretty close in several directions. The closest ones with good climbing trail are on the far side of Kyoto though, maybe a 40 minute train ride from my house.
