Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. I think it’s time for this: a list of the vocabulary that appears in my posts. It’s getting time consuming for me to type the same word four different ways (English translation, romaji, hiragana/katakana, and occassionally kanji). So, while NEW words will have at least the English translation and romaji, previously used words will not. Here is the list, in order of use from oldest to newest. Kyoo きょう, 今日 (today). Gomenasai ごめ...

Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. May 9, 2011. Yeah, yeah, I know…. 久しぶり… Sorry everyone. I got lazy. And busy. The main source of busy-ness was the prefectural musical that took up almost all of my weekends from January to end of April. Same as last year, foreigners who live in my prefecture produce and perform the musical in the local Japanese dialect. This year the story line combined Dickens’. That’s right… me! My entry as the Ghost of - Past. Lovely....

Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. February 24, 2011. Japanese Phrase of the Day. 8221; Except in Japan, that last part rarely happens… so it just sits there until everyone leaves the table and the servers scoop it into the trash. Anyways, another JET told me that there is an actual Japanese phrase for this phenomenon:. Perhaps I’m losing my English, but is there a phrase for this awkward affair in English? I can’t think of any…. And moving onto other language...

https://roadmapsrevelationsandraindrops.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/meet-rainy-season
Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. June 21, 2011. Not much time to write lately, mostly because of upcoming stuff (like a kendo exam in 5 days, and then the JLPT in 12), but I thought I’d mention to the lovely people back home that yes, you get rain. And yes, you get lots of it. But you don’t get rain AND heat at the same time. I do. My Weather Forecast. Total predicted rainfall: 50mm. Home's Weather Forecast. Total predicted rainfall: 20mm. Tags: Life in Japan.

Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. March 10, 2011. It’s almost the end of the Japanese school year, and for a bit of a break from the usual textbook activities, M-sensei at my Junior High School gathered about 50 travel brochures for different places and told the 2年生 to write a short essay on where they want to go, why and what they will do. Here is my favourite, exactly as written:. Me: “But she can’t speak Japanese.”. Student: “I can speak English! You are c...

Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. May 12, 2011. I’m mentioning this now, because I have come across a blog written by a nurse who was sent to the Tohoku region after the earthquake and tsunami. You may have seen this blog mentioned in the news. But it is worth re-posting. The original blog can be found here. But it is written in Japanese. An anonymous blogger has translated the entire blog into English. Allowing even more people to read it. On May 12, 2011.

Snippet: At the Market | Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops
https://roadmapsrevelationsandraindrops.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/snippet-at-the-market
Roadmaps, Revelations and Raindrops. A personal blog about my personal journey. May 22, 2011. Snippet: At the Market. An interesting moment at the market this past weekend. Thoughts? I was browsing the fresh produce section when I spotted some zucchini- green AND golden! Zucchinis are uncommon in Japan] As I was looking through them I had the following conversation (all in Japanese) with a woman who was also examining them:. 8220;Oh, these aren’t cucumbers.”. Of the female zucchini flower.”. Obviously so...
