Rosetta Stone

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient stela which was found in the city called Rosetta, Egypt in 1799.

At British Museum
There are written the same sentence in three ancient languages. Hence, it uses as a metaphor for decipher, translate, complicated question and significant key.

Now, It is also famous name for learning foreign language programs.

I've got a Chinese

They launched to Japan a few years ago and expanded its business quickly.
I had been browsing their website for a couple months and finally I've got them.
I think it well combines with the way of Japanese people study which usually focus on Reading and Writing not Speak or Listening.

Let's see how it works.

Thank you for your comment, Mark.
I'll tell you more about it when I complete it.
My opinion so far, if you really wish to master a foreign language, RS is yet deficient. It's the best and much reasonable to have a good-quality grammar book.
(It works for me.)
However RS gives you a motivation to continue study which is a principle to learn a foreign language.
Endurance makes you stronger!

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji.

R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order.

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
