Meine Stadt
Ich lebe in Tunesien. Es ist eine kleine Stadt mit wenigen Einwohnern. In der Stadtmitte gibt es viele Geschäfte, Restaurants und Cafes. Altstadt ist besonders schön, weil es dort viele historische Gebäude gibt. Mir gefällt, mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln verbunden ist. Was mir nicht gefällt, ist der Lärm. Manchmal ist es zu laut in der Stadt.

Yesterday and Tomorrow
My dad bought me 2 comic books, from the "case closed" series, when we went to the book shop yesterday.
This series is one of my favourite mysteries comic books. And it is really famouse in Japan.
According to my friend who is from China, it is also famouse in Chaina and everyone loves it.
That could be why there were random volumes of this series in the shop. So, I got random three volumes. But I am happy that I could get them.
I am going on the trip from tomorrow. Time flies. I just went to Finland last month.
However, I am looking forward to go, because the country that I am going to go, is Netherlands. And I and my dad love apple pie and I want to know about Anne Frank more.
So, I may can't write my dialy from tomorrow.
I've been stopped at security befor because I forgot to take the compass from my bag, so, I'll be careful this time too.
I am going to read comic books that my dad bought me yesterday on the plain.

Book Review: Okakura Tenshin (1862–1913)
Nara and Kyoto were once the capitals of Japan and are places rich in history. They are home to many shrines and temples, where valuable cultural treasures such as Buddhist statues were preserved. Even today, these important cultural properties are carefully protected.
However, in the early Meiji period, a belief spread that “the West is superior to everything.” As a result, there was a movement to destroy Buddhist statues and other traditional artifacts. Ernest Fenollosa, an American scholar, and his student Okakura Tenshin （岡倉天心1862-1913）worked hard to protect Japanese artworks. Fenollosa himself was deeply moved by the beauty of Japanese art and devoted himself to preserving its cultural heritage.
In order to share the beauty of Japanese culture with the world, Okakura Tenshin wrote The Book of Tea, through which he introduced Japanese aesthetics to an international audience. He dedicated his life to protecting Japan’s cultural treasures.
By the way, have you heard of Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎 1760–1849)? You may not know him, but European painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet were fascinated by his woodblock prints, which greatly influenced their art. As a side note, Hokusai was so absorbed in his work and disliked cleaning so much that he reportedly moved dozens of times whenever his room became too messy. (Laughs)
When I learned that such a great artist was not a perfect person, I felt a sense of closeness to him. I believe that the idea that “the West is always the best” is mistaken.

Pourquoi les gauchers sont-ils maléfiques ?
J’admets que c’est un titre racoleur, mais aujourd’hui j’aimerais parler de l’histoire de la préférence manuelle. Je vais aborder le sujet sous deux angles : les sciences et l’Histoire. D’abord, les sciences. La préférence manuelle est due à la latéralisation du cerveau. Chaque moitié du cerveau a des tâches différentes. Il n’y a pas un moitié créatif ou un moitié logique du cerveau. Cependant, le cerveau droit contrôle les compétences de la langue. L’aire de Broca contrôle la production de la langue parlée et l’aire de Wernicke contrôle la compréhension de la langue. En outre, chaque hémisphère du cerveau contrôle l’autre côté du corps : l'hémisphère droit contrôle le bras gauche et la jambe gauche, et vice versa. Mais, en fait, cela s’applique seulement aux droitiers. La latéralisation dépend de la préférence manuelle. Les droitiers ont le cerveau gauche dominant. Mais les gauchers sont compliqués : ils peuvent avoir les aires de Broca et de Wernicke de la gauche ou la droite, et un cerveau gauche dominant ou droite dominante pour la commande motrice. Ensuite, l’Histoire. Le mot « sinistre » est lié aux gauchers. Il vient du mot latin pour gauche. Environ 90 % des gens sont droitiers, alors les rares gauchers ont été vus comme des méchants ou des malchanceux. En Europe, la gaucherie a été liée à la sorcellerie et au diable. En outre, dans d'autres cultures la main gauche est liée à des pratiques d'hygiène ou l’impolitesse. Alors, dans le monde entier les enfants étaient autrefois forcés d’utiliser la mais droite. S'ils ont utilisé la main gauche, ils ont été punis. Mais, au fil du temps, le gaucherie est devenu accepté. C'était grâce à des changements dans les sciences, l'éducation et la culture. Dans les années 1930, seulement 2 % des gens étaient gauchers. Mais de nos jours, plus de 10 % des gens sont gauchers. C'était grâce à l’augmentation de l’acceptance, et non grâce à une augmentation des gauchers. De nos jours, personne ne se soucie de la main qu'une personne utilise.

自分の日常は悪かったら、語学の授業で質問されたとき、どうすればいい？
今日友達言葉 (casual form) を使ってみる。
日本語の授業で、毎回先生は日常について質問する。でも、私の人生によく色々なひどい事が起こるので、どう答えたらいいと分からない。例えば、家族と仲が本当に悪い。大体の家族と全然話さなくて会わない。だから、先生は日本に戻って久しぶりに家族と遊びに来たとき、それから私に「何遍祖父と祖母と遊びに来る？」と言ったら、どんな返事を言っていいと分からなかった。よく悪いことを話さずに正直に言う。「lie by omission」だ。「White lie」の種類だ。でもキモい。
今家族との関係が壊れてしまう。もうすぐ友達の家に引っ越したくて、その後で全然家族を会いたくない。明日の日本語の授業に先生が家族や日常について聞くと、どう言えばいい？あなたは答えなくてもいい。これは私の考えだけだ。
もしかして、遅い夜の散歩をする。ポッドキャストを聴くか日本語のフラッシュカードを勉強する。最近一日中部屋の中にとどまっているのでちょっと気持ち悪くなった。やる気がなくなった。

Waiting for the Train
I'm waiting for the train at Lianyungang station.
I arrived an hour early, because after three days' hike, I've been very tired. I need a little break now.
I captured some beautiful views in the past three days. I'll put them together over the next few days and share them with you.

He pasado unas vacaciones realmente especiales durante las vacaciones de Pascua
Fui al Cairngorms, en las Scottish Highlands. Me quedé allí solo una noche, porque quería hacer senderismo en las montañas. Antes de ir, hice mucha investigación sobre la ruta en internet. Sabía que podría ser un poco peligroso, dependiendo del clima, y quería estar preparado. Entonces, elegí una ruta corta y segura.
El día comenzó con mucho sol. Estaba confundida, porque vi gente con esquís en el pueblo. Después, me di cuenta que todavía había mucha nieve en la cima de la montaña. Estaba muy impresionada por las vistas.
La caminata duró cuatro horas en total. Comí un sandwich al lado de un lago, fue muy tranquilo. Cuando terminé, estaba cansado pero contento. Me siento orgulloso porque he planeado todo yo mismo. Ya les he recomendado la ruta a todos mis amigos.

La Pascua
Hoy fue la Pascua. Usualmente, este día incluye los huevos en alguna manera, pero para nosotros, ha cambiado en un día de fiesta como la Navidad sin un árbol. Amigos y familia vienen a nuestra casa, charlamos, comemos tantas botanas que no tengamos espacio para la cena, y después de un día maravilloso llena de comida, pasteles, y quejándonos sobre la política, nos despedimos.
Los días de fiesta son extraños cuando se envejece. De niño, siempre estaba tan emocionado para las fiestas. Ahora, siempre estoy olvidando de ellos, y me sorprenden cuando vienen.
Palabras nuevas
La botana

QingMing Festival
It's April 6th today, QingMing Festival, so I didn't go to work. QingMing festival lasts from April 4th to 6th. I asked for one day off April 3rd, so I have a four day holiday.
The first day I did some housework, walked my dog , picked up my daughter from school and whatnot;
The second day, my family and I went to the Five Great Avenues which is a very famous sight in TianJin. There were many beautiful flowers, but there were more people there, so it was very very crowded there. We just stayed there less than an hour and went to a electric car shopping;
The third day was Easter, my wife and I went to XiKai church which is another famous sight in the morning. We had planned to attend Mass but didn't expected there were also many many people. We couldn't get into the church and went home with disappointment.
Today is the fourth day, I took my family and my dog to the suburbs this morning. We all liked the fresh air and wide grass there and played happily for over 3hours.
I don't want to go to famous sights during holidays anymore, instead I'd like to enjoy the nature.

日本語のごとざわ
最近、私は日本語のことざわに興味がありますので、今年の始めに、ことざわのカレンダーを買いました。
２・３日ごとに（残念ながら、毎日ではありません）、カレンダーのことざわを読んで、ことざわと説明を英語に訳して、友達に送ります。友達はことざわには興味があまりなさそうですけれど、いい翻訳の練習だと思います。
時々、ことざわの説明に「英語版」というものが付きます。しかし、その英語のことざわはたいてい少し変です。例えば、「暑さ寒さも彼岸まで」の英語版は「Neither heat nor cold abides always in the sky」（暑さ寒さもいつまでも空にあるわけではない）と書いてありましたが、そのことざわを調査しようとしたら、１６００年代や１８００年代のことざわの辞典以外、どこでも使われていませんでした。本当に珍しいと思います。一体どこで見つけましたかな？
今までの好きなことざわは「船頭多くして、船、山に登る」。英語で近い意味がある「Too many cooks spoil the broth」（料理人が多すぎるとスープができそこなう）がありますが、日本語の方はもっと面白いと思います。
好きなことざわはありますか？
