Kintama: January 2009
http://kintama-kintama.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Happy Groundhogs Day (I'm a bit early) from over here in Japan. I hope the fury of Winter weather softens into a nice mild Spring. The title of today's venture is Kaitenzushi which refers to the best low-quality sushi you can find in Japan. Kaiten means revolving and zushi is sushi with the first letter changed because of the n preceding it. Yes, Japanese is a crazy language much like English; and the more you learn, the less you find you actually know. Monday, January 19, 2009.

http://kintama-kintama.blogspot.com/2009/05/chicken-or-egg.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. In my first entry since hell month ended a week and a half ago, I was pondering which topic I wanted to hit in this next post. I have a few ideas, but decided it would be nice to have some pictures to go along with them, so I'm going to my fall back idea, etymology. There are equivalent Chinese and Japanese phrases (. 1 stone, 2 birds;. I guess we're supposed to get the idea from that), but where did the phrase originate? The other day, my teacher used the word "blood fest". It woul...

Looking at this picture, you may think that the sport of Sumo was dying because no one wants to become this big to fight in 30-second matches over the course a few months of a year. Well, that would be wrong. Two Russian Sumo wrestlers were recently expelled for marijuana ( Read Story. In a country where you can be stuck in a dark box for 5 years for smelling like marijuana, that is quite expectable. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://kintama-kintama.blogspot.com/2009/06/blame-it-on-mountains.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. Blame it on the Mountains. When you have a mountainous terrain like Japan, granted the mountains will play a role in the weather from day-to-day, but no single region can really claim to be the only one affected. You might offend the entire population of Gunma. So, I spent some time looking over your blog trying to figure out who they mystifying person was who followed us all the way along out trip. and you seem damn cool.

Kintama: March 2009
http://kintama-kintama.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. With the advent of Spring come the blossoms as Japan enjoys its rebirth. Spring to me is symbolic of the beginning of life, and each successive season passes until you fall into a wintry death. This is why I conject that the Japanese word for all seasons is Spring Summer Fall Winter. Which means both the many and the few. My first encounter was the word morningevening, but that is a whole different road I've already wandered down to far. Why drink under the cherry blossoms? Unfort...
