As a person without a ” real” nose, I sometimes wonder whether a person with a non-japanese nose can directly look at the bump between his/her own eyes..or the eyebrows.

I wonder why calling somebody octopus is an insult in Japan. I’d think calling somebody sea cucumber would be worse..

I like eating the tips of octopus legs.

Today, I learned that a rubber Guiron doll (about 20cm tall) is worth $2,000. I should pay more respect to that giant seemingly ineffective monster.

There is a Japanese lady whose age is 118 years old. She wakes up only once every other day. I wonder if it makes her feel the slumber world is the reality. I guess I’ll know the answer when/if I get to that age..

I often have this nightmare where I lose all my teeth at once. It’s a very scary feeling. Sometimes, it happens while I brush my teeth in the dream. As I brush my teeth, my teeth fall out just like when I lost my baby teeth, except for all of them come out within 5 seconds. I can even feel the holes with my tongue in the dream. Then I realize that these are my adult teeth and I have to wear false teeth for the rest of my life. It makes me feel desperate..

I saw gray pigs that are considered to produce meat equivalent to Matsuzaka beef. Though their fat quality is considered to be the best of its kinds, they didn’t look too attractive… They looked very much like the ladies on Yumcax’s bulging beauty cards.

I cooked these huge huge shrimps a couple days ago. They were so big that they made me feel guilty for breaking their heads off and ripping their shells.. quite tasty though.

Peopel here hit giant bells at temples 108 times on New Year’s Eve in order to get rid of 108 evil spirits that exist in every human. I didn’t hit the bell this year and heard only one ring, so I’ve got 107 evil spirits in me to begin the new year..

Among all the vegetables, I think yams are the most “verbal” veggie. When I peel their skin, they quickly turn pink and green as if they were screaming from the pain. It makes me feel guilty..

I like soaking my feet in hot bath when they are cold. Today, I was wondering why they feel ice cold right after I soak them in hot water.. I’d think that the feet would feel super warm since the temperature difference between my feet and water are bigger than normal. Weird…

I saw a news reportor with huge ear lobes today. They were so big that he looked as if he was wearing some pink ear rings. People here believe that a person with big ear lobes earn lots of money.. it must be quite strange to get attention from ladies just because of the ear lobes though. They aren’t exactly the sexiest part of a body.

I got a cold. I need a pizza scraper for my throat.. something is stuck there and I can’t cough it out.

I went to see a movie and spent three hours sitting on a seat that is just like a seat in an airplane. I’m spending ten more hours on a real airplane seat tomorrow.. not very happy.

Last week, I ate tons of blueberries. I had lots of blueberries skins between my teeth and Yumcax was laughing at me. So, I asked him if he had any “floth”. He laughed, so I said, “fine. do you have any fRoth?” He didn’t tease me any more, so I was like “HA! I win.”

But the fact was that I went one step away from the actual word. I wonder if Yumcax was grinning like a clown in his mind when I said froth..

If I ever become super famous, I don’t want the Japanese government to put my face on bills. I don’t want people to describe me as somebody who’s related to money. Plus, you can make funny faces with anybody’s faces on bills. Here’s how you do it:
1. You draw a line that connects the center of one eye and the end of lips on the same side as that eye. You do it for both eyes and fold along the lines.
2. Look at the person from either one of the longer sides of the bill.

See?

I had a durian milk shake last night. It was pretty tasty except the aftertaste wasn’t so good.. especially when I burped.
