it's interesting what you had said about chatting rooms

dearest friend
hello
thanks so much for writting to me this risala, and talking in in about the chatting. it's interesting what you had said. yes sure the majority of poeple looks at chatting rooms as a tool of meeting poeple and dating. and for that reason we use always to talk with persons that they are not interested at exchanging cultures and knowledgments. they wants only to get an apointment, and to meet some one for enjoy or love or anything else...
sure this is a wrong idea about the chat rooms. and it's better to use it as a cultural window to all the world, instead of looking at it as a platform of dating.

but any way, sure there's several persons whom are serious, and don't ask at once about getting photos, or chatting with the cam for some reasons...
and about me i guess that i am lucky, because through the chatting rooms i became friend with several interesting poeple from all over the world. this was from 1998, and we are so good friends till now. sure by years our friendship was developped, and now we meet some times. and we use also to exchange our skills at arts, litteratures....

ok, i am sorry for this short risala, soonly i will write to you more
have happy day

About Webchat communication and Ginkgo

hello... how are you today?
This time, I don't introduce about japan, I want to say about chat and communication.

I have not chat for 2weeks, because nowone skype me. I dont know why. Now I found I set "busy", and automatically shut down message... If you give me message and I dont reply, I have to say sorry.
2weeks ago, I set "busy" to my skype, because some people skype me, but everyone ask me "do you use web camera and chat?" "can you send me photo?" "where do you live in tokyo? -- if you have a time, please meet me"... and so on... Every communication is like that. I dont like such a communication.

If I have a chance, of course I can meet them. I have met many people who chat in internet. But it doesn't mean every peple who chat/skype in internet can meet immediately. first I want to enjoy chat/skype, after we have "a chance", we have new choice "to meet".

recently many people use many internet chat system and seek to "meet" many people all over the world. Some people think that chat/skype is way to meet people at once and easily. I like to use chat, but chat is not convinience meeting tool for me, chat is communication tool. I hope communicating through chat/skype all over the world, and I want to understand many things...

Japan also have calligraphy. When I use to learn Japanese calligraphy. It name is "Shodo".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_calligraphy
Japanese calligraphy "Shodo" is popular lesson among children. My parents makes me learn calligraphy to improve writing character. A person who learn Japanese calligraphy is good writer. I think my writing character is not so good, but some people admire me.


Last week I went to my friend house to harvest some taroes and sweet potatoes. After we enjoy having barbecue party in the garden.
He is a full-time farmer. I have never seen full-time farmer in this area. His house was suberb of Tokyo, and There was big Honda automobile factory near his farm. Recently his agriculture business is better, because Japan control to import China food.
Japanese have depend on import foods in China. But recently Chinese vegetable have had problem, for example, agricultural chemical, melamin resin and chemicals inside foods.
It is traditional Japanese house... how do you think it?? I think he is rich!

Hokkaido island

Hello! How are you?? I talked to you about my trouble in my office. Now I certainly solve the problem. Because I fell so bad, I had forgot my travel in Hokkaido. I want to remind good memory and introduce about it.

Hokkaido is north of Japan. Japan have 4 big islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Sikoku, Kyushuu. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto are is Honshu, Honshu is biggest island in Japan.

Hokkaido is big island, but population and economy is not big. Hokkaido remain great and attractive nature.

Hokkaido have indigenous people, name is "Ainu". Japan have 2 kind of ethnic group. one is Japanese, other is Ainu. Ainu is small population, so some stateman belive that Japan is single ethnic group country.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people

After Honshu Japanese started to emigrate Hokkaido About 150years ago, large Japanese live there and invaded Ainu and Ainu culture. I think Ainu culture have already lost in Japan. Many Ainu people married to Japanese, and mixed to Japanese. Only a few people can speak Ainu language like a native speaker. Some people try to introduce Ainu tradition...

I went to Conveyor belt sushi. We don't need order menu, because sushi food come automatically. Do you know this system?

I'm crazy about Iseki place

Hello... long time to see you...
How is your vacation?
I showed you a photo that I met some Tunisian people last month. They have already gone. Time is so fast.

I like "Iseki" so much... I don't know how discribe "Iseki". Iseki is ancient historical place, now we can see only stone. When I go to Turkey, I hope seeing Iseki. last month I went to Turkey, this time I didn't have a little chance to see Iseki, but next time I will go to Iseki.
This picture taken from Iznik, Turkey...




I go school every week 3 times, and I had had important exam this week, I will know whether pass or not.
By the way, I found that I have to take a unbrella, when I go to school. We have a rain every school. Do you know about "Ame-Onna"?.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameonna

"Ame" means rain, "onna" means woman. I believe that we have 1 or 2 "Ame-Onna"(rain woman) or "Ame-Otoko"(rain man) in my classroom.

About Train in Tokyo

Hello... how are you? I went to Minami-Urawa city to join meeting.
When I go outside, I always use train or subway. It is 8minutes walk to subway station. Tokyo have 2 subway company and have many subway line.
http://www.tokyometro.jp/rosen/rosenzu/pdf/rosen_eng.pdf

Can you find my station??


I took subway to next station, and transfered JR line. JR is biggest train company in Japan. I usually use JR east company. JR also have many train line.
http://www.jreast.co.jp/map/pdf/map_tokyo.pdf


and Tokyo have many private railway... I can't introduce them, because every private railway have some lines. All of metro and railway makes tokyo convinient place, so Tokyo have big population.

When I feel bad, I don't know why but I want to eat oily food. So I ate "Ton-katsu" in Ton-katsu reataurant. It is popular food in Japan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonkatsu

Tonkatsu is fryied pork cutlet. Of cource you can't eat. But some restaurant have chiken cutlet. if there restaurant don't use lard. you may eat it.

Ton means "pork" and "katsu" means "win". so if I need something to pray, for example I have to exam, I prefer to eat "Ton-katsu"...
before the important exam, what kind of food do you like to eat??


mata-ne!!

that's great.

dearest friend

konnichiwa!

thanks so much for the sweet risalat, i hadvisited the site about blood, it's so fantastic... it remember me the astrology habitude that we have here, here poeple, and specially girls use to read each day their astrology at newspapers, at net... and this astrology writtings show some times the main characters of the person, as what i had see now at the site, it's fantastic that by blood type we can know some things about personality, to be franc i had read what shown under the A type, and i guess that it's not wrong....... despite that in deep of me i don't trust at this.... because no one can be sure to know person personality correctly..... but it's amusing.

great, you had saw a TV program about tourism in tunisia, this is excelent. the island that you had saw is called DJERBA, we have an othe beautiful island also it called KERKENA, thoses are the only islands in which poeple live herer , the other islands are natural parks, protected, and we rarely can visit it.

sidi bou said is a fantastic place, it's in the capital at the north....

sure i understand that you are looking not for rich touristic places, and this is a right way of thinking, because if we want to know a country more, we shall not spend time in 5 stars hotels..... it will be so worth when we visit the popular places, the old places... ok, when you will have the opportunity to come here, i will be so happy to be your guide, and sure you will discover several fantastic places that can't be shown at TV programs in touristic propaganda....

about old arabic places, my country is so famous of typical architecture, specially the Andalousian style, you can see that in the old MADINA (city), in each state there's an old madina, i advice you for example to visit, tunis, hammamat, sousse, bizerte, kairouan, monastir, safx...

ok, the photos added here are from 2 states, Kairouan, and Sousse. soony i will send to you more

have happy day
