It's been two months already since I updated my blog the last time? I don't believe this... Today this is a quick update post. I got a new visa successfully in the beginning of Feb, but am still struggling to find a job. I even can't get a chance of interviews. I thought maybe my […]

I know it's nothing new, but I saw the film "Billy Eliot" on the other day. I remember, when I was in Sheffield, I've seen its poster showing a boy wearing boxing kit among girls wearing ballet costume.It's a story about a boy, Elliot living in New Castle with his Granma, father and brother, happened […]

As I see lots of articles about Asasyoryu (Mongolian sumo wrestler) recently, I'm gonna write about sumo today. When I was a kid, I used to love to see sumo on TV. At that time, there was a great champion called Chiyo-no-fuji, but a young wrestler called Taka-no-hana was becoming stronger. It was just the […]

This is about a TV show again, a TV show called "Hai! Karate" on CBBC. Four pairs of a parent and a child visit Japan to learn Karate in order to get closer relationship. It's quite interesting. Looking at "futon" (Japanese type bed) and shouting "Do we sleep on the floor!?", not knowing how to […]

I don't watch drama. I don't think I can watch it every week and feel a bit uncomfortable waiting for the next week. So I used to watchnews programme or comedy show on TV in Japan. Since I came here, I had been looking for my favourite UK TV show but hadn't been successful. I've […]

Lots of different data were used to visualize, but I liked the one with Twitter, Social Collider. Visual design was good too. I also liked Body Paint which really simulates "painting" using […]

I did it...I got a cold on the new year's eve. It's been a bit tough since a few days ago but I had to work, and was planning to clean my room on 31th...but I couldn't. I got a medicine, was sleeping for afternoon, and just ate "toshikoshi-soba" (Japanese noodle for new year's eve), […]

Thanks to everyone, I had a wonderful Xmas this year too.For the eve, my friend kindly invited me to the dinner with her family, and I could enjoy very "proper" Xmas atmosphere. (Sometimes how we cerebrate Xmas is a bit wrong in Japan.)My friend is always good at cooking… and now I know why, because […]

A Japanese animation called "Lupin the third" is doing a massive scale promotion in Japan. (Lupin the thrid, the main character is a heroic phantom theft, like the original "Lupin") And they are using social media a lot! At the beginning, a official account of "Lupin" was created on mixi, and they let users to […]

I often see articles about Google phone recently, but I think I witnessed it today. When I was on the tube, a man sit down next to me. He looked to be in a hurry, and was fumbling about in his bag. And then he took out a box which looked like to contain a […]
