Piling up.

   What is “Piling up”? It’s snow. In this winter, I mean from Dec. 2010 to now, we have had snow than usual. My house is in Kyushu which is one of the four big islands in Japan, and its latitude is about 33.5°N. This is not so different from Islamabad’s latitude, Baghdad’s, Tripoli’s, and Los Angeles’s. We have snow every year in my town. But my town isn’t located in a heavy snow area. “Piling up” doesn’t happen so often. So, when it happens, I’m fun like a child. 🙂

   It’s still snowing though 3:30PM now. I took pictures around 8:30AM. I’ll show you them. 😉

How different my neighbor languages are!!

   As I was interested in Gkatar’s comment on “Happy New Year!”, I checked out mine and my neighbor languages about it by online-dictionaries.

  • 彼はジョンだ。彼は東京にいる。(Japanese)
  • 他是约翰。他在东京。(Chinese)
  • 그는 지역이다. 그는 도쿄에있다.(Korean)
  • เขาคือจอห์น   เขาอยู่ในโตเกียว(Thai)
  • Он Джон. Он находится в Токио.(Russian)

   How different my neighbor languages are!!

   On the other hand,

  • He is John. He is in Tokyo. (English)
  • Él es John. Él está en Tokio. (Spanish)
  • Lui è John. Lui è in Tokyo. (Italian)
  • Il est John. Il est à Tokyo. (French)
  • Er ist John. Er ist in Tokio. (German)
  • Hann er John. Hann er í Tokyo. (Icelandic)
  • Han er John. Han er i Tokyo. (Norwegian)
  • Han är John. Han är i Tokyo. (Swedish)
  • Hän on John. Hän on Tokiossa. (Finnish)


   How similar they are!! They look more the dialects of A language than various sorts of languages.
   When I began to learn English, it was very difficult for me. Still now.

   By the way, I’ve registered for the Facebook. 🙂

Rakushō no Goku #14

   On 2012.Jul.31, I at last reaches the ending point.

   AS 落照の獄 was originally divided into eight chapters and had 80 pages volume on the magazine, I tried to translate each two pages at a time. And now, I reconstruct its format.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It is the beginning of a new year.

   This is the year of the Rabbit, according to the Oriental Zodiac. In Japan, we hail the year of the Rabbit as a year of progress. But I hope this year will produce the peace to people who live in all over the world.

Gods bless you, guys!
