Intercultural talk

Christmas is getting around the corner! We have only five weeks to go! Are you ready for the festivity? What's your plan for this year? I haven't a specific plan yet, but this year I want to come up with something different with Chrismas dinner by giving it a try to international banquet, a good mix of dishes from various countries. Gee, I can't wait it!

It's getting colder and colder these days and I'm expecting snow fall in Madrid. That makes the city more romantic and you can enjoy making a snow man or throwing snow balls at people and so forth. I'm good at throwing balls! What a fun to have snow!!!

Spring has come and I'm looking forward to the arrival of
early summer. The sun has already grown to be strong
enough to warm me up but the wind sometimes gets sullen
and I often need a thick jacket. Oh, spring festival is going
on everywhere, right? Do you have any festival or custom
in your country like eating something special?

Last evening I was walking around my ward. The streets
were full of people wearing the uniform of each team of
soccer and the town seemed to be invaded by so many
aficionados from Barcelona and Zaragoza. It was amazing!
I thought it's impossible to open up my cafe around here.
People were everywhere and local people seemed to stay
at home except a few people like me who dared to take
a walk. I should have taken some pictures to let you see.
And I don't know which team won the cup...

Was I baking hard in my dream? Or that was a prediction?
Nope. It was the side effect of watching the series of
Yakitate Japan! It's amazing! How much I love to eat
all the Japan which Kazuma baked!

TGIF! We are having dinner party tonight and I'll be back
home tomorrow morning! So now I'm posting, you know.
By the way, do I remember how to get to the Totoro's
place?

Do you sometimes realized that you often had the same dream?
Last night I had a dream and I rememberd that I had the same
one many times. It's amazing that someone can dream the same
one every night and mine is not that frequent but it's really clear
and it's like a movie or something. I wish I could dream the better
way, at least, better than this one!

What's your trick to combat against Blue Monday?
Sipping more coffee than usual? Yesterday I saw
a Spanish guy practising Taichi or Chinese traditional
exercise and I thought that might be an ideal trick
to escape from Blue Monday with refreshed body
and mind. Walking is my trick but Chinese ones
seem to be so atractive that I'm thinking something
new to get more refreshed.

The couple on the next table started to kiss in one of Starbucks
and I remembered that I have never seen someone kissing
in any café in Japan. Every country has a different social code
and I thought what if such couple went to Tokyo and would go
on with this... I like this café because smoke doesn't get in
my eyes and my brain works almost perfectly with sipping
a cup of coffee. Yesterday the café was unually overcrowded
because students are still having holidays. It was rainy day
which ment a reading day since I was very small. Not because
of being a bookworm or something. I hated to study anything
except scientifc subjects. I was reading books just because
I didn't like to get depressed by rainy day expecting that
the rain stopped suddenly and I could go out to play with
my friends. That's why I was always tanned and I seldom
stayed at home if it didn't rain hard. The café is expensive
but I think it's worth paying for spending a couple of hours
reading, writing, and thinking something I can't do at home.

Finally early summer has come! I love it very much because
it's hot and I can drink anthing iced while all the grasses are
growing fast like in a tropical country. In Japan if you let them
grow, they will stand higher than you with many kinds of insects
everywhere. I used to practise jumping higher every day than
the day before trying to keep up with the speed of the grass
growth. It was an important part of my infantil life and I became
the best jumper in my school naturally. Give me old days...
