Japanese call it "Shime" which means........... We call it "Shime" which means........... Hi, how is it going? Nice to meet you guys again. Today, I am going to talk about "Shime" By the way, does someone know the word? Ok, nobody knows, let me explain it. "Shime" means kind of order when you go to restaurant. And especially we talk about situation when people drink alcohol. So, generally we use this word like this situation that we already have much of alcohol and also we are almost full. But there is little space for eating something, so we want to eat something before leaving restaurant or going to back home. And then if you eat something it is going to be "Shime", it is final order and final meal for day. In my country, it is commonplace to eat "Noodle(Ramen)" as "Shime". This reason why is that some people move to "Ramen shop" from other restaurant for "Shime" if there is no "Ramen" in restaurant. I do not know exactly but most of the people say they want to be eating "Ramen" after drinking much of alcohol and food. How about in your food culture what you guys eat as "Shime"? I am waiting for you guys answer :) I am Futa.

Can we take snacks to coffee shops? Hi, how is it going guys? I am going to talk about "Can we take snacks to coffee shops?" So, the background of this topic is that when I went to the coffee shop in last week. Then I was doing my work on my laptop at the long table for 8 people. In front of me, there was the guy , suddenly he took out chips from his bag which was a big size packet. He started to eat them, and opened it on the table. Like party you know. I was feeling that it is an against the rule. But I also was thinking about how about piece of candies or chewing gums or drops, drinks. I normally do not take anythings in coffee shops, of course in restaurants as well but who can say it. I mean there are no signs about assessments exactly, we just follow our humanity. I suppose that it depends on countries, customs, life style. So, how about you? do you often eat something in shops or you never? I am waiting for you guys replies. Thanks, I am Futa.

Do we have other word instead of selfish ? Hey guys, how is it going? I wanna ask you guys about the word. So, normally selfish is someone who is lacking consideration about other people, right? But can we use this word in situation which is I want to say it include good meaning and cute meaning? The reason that is I have experience to use it in the last time but I made kind of mistake.lol I made someone misunderstood. In Japanese , we have the word which is "Wagamama(我儘)". The word has two meanings, one is selfish but other one is we use it as include cute. In this situation, "Your girlfriend is Wagamama, so she has many requests to you, wants you to do many things but you would like to do it for her. So, you say my girlfriend is Wagamama but it includes cute meaning. So, if you are Chinese, maybe you know about 任性. I think 任性 and Wagamama(我儘) are same meaning. Anyway, does someone know "Wagamama" in English? Or do you have these of words in your language? If you know let me know, thanks. Futa

Why do not say "Sorry"?! Hey, guys, how's going? I am going to talk about "Why Japanese people do not say sorry when they bumped into someone's shoulder" I spent time in Canada last year. :) And it is already been 6 months since I came back to Japan from Canada. :0 There was many new experiences in Canada and I think I was getting to use to be in Canada's life. When I arrived in Japan, I felt something unusual while I was walking on the street It happened nobody said sorry when they bumped into someone's shoulder. They just kept going on their directions. I had not felt anything about that before I lived in Canada. Maybe, because I had not had experience to live in foreign country, which means I only know my country's custom. But in Canada, it happens more often to people say sorry or any words in that situations. I was really surprised. And, I have been to 9 countries in 4 years, I suppose that my country is less than others. But what is reasons for that. Maybe Japan is small country and higher population. That means that Japan is a densely populated country. We do not have enough space for ourselves. The next, it would be we are unsociable. So, we do not have open-minds or could be shy it is difficult to talk to strangers even a word. We do not often talk to each others in town. Anyway, I like my country but I sometimes think I wish we could be more sociable to each others. So, how about your custom? People usually say something when they dumped or nothing? Have you ever faced this situation in Japan when you visited? Thank you for reading my diary. I am Futa, See you next time :) Oh, if you have time please correct my diary

"Tell me who can study at home?" When we talk about works, we have two types of people who can do anything at home or need to move some places such as star bucks, library , school for doing any tasks. Unfortunately, I am a person who is 2nd type, actually I would like to be 1st type, I think everyone would like to be them but it is for a few people. I would like to say 1st type has some benefit because you do not need to buy a cup of coffee for staying any shops, which means it is good for your financial. And more, it will be less stress than stay at any places. This reason why is nobody disturb you as eating something next you with chewing sound, also you do not need to take time for looking chair if there is full of people. From my experience, the maximum of study is 3 hours at home, after that I will visit Youtube or chatting with friend. I already tried some ways by preparing a room for study, keep a room as kept-well, turn off my cell phone but that does not work. I guess it is necessary to go out side to do any tasks for the almost people. Finally, I say I almost give up to do anything at home, I know I have to put up with someone's obstacle for staying any places but I suppose I can have some occasions to visit new places, and do not be like unti-social maybe. How about you? you have to buy anything drinks for doing tasks or you can do anything in your room which is a lot of distraction?

"Why the their average weight is increasing recently?" Hi, nice to meet you guys. So, I wrote an essay for taking IELTS writing test. This essay is kind of solution and problem essay, it was difficult to make it in 40minutes. Today's topic is "In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?" Nowadays, a lot of facilities in town have been more convenient than before. A growing number of people are living in urban area and they can get any services for moving place to place and having a full of variety food, spending time with friends. However, there are problems, people have lost to do exercises, while their weight of average are increasing. In this essay, I will explain these problems and propose some solutions. One of the most pressing issues in plenty of public transportations are making them less doing exercises. That is to say people do not need to move by themselves in town. That is mainly because of we have some services in town such as subway lines, taxi, bus, and then if we put on money for that everyone can use them.To tackle this issue, the government should raise price of transportations for a short distance. And then people need to choose walking to visit any places if that places are close to their home or any start point. Another problem is people are often having fast food. In other words, having fast food is kind of common for them. This is largely due to people are taking more high calorie than handmade food by eating them. A solution is for the government to do control fast food shops by creating some measures for calorie. This would, they have to recommend to any shops for producing lower calorie products. In conclusion, there are many problems such as people are often using public transportation in town and fast food is making their weight to increase more and more. Unless, we provide any meals by ourselves, at the same time we choose move to place by ourselves, the situation will get worse. In my opinion, the responsibility lies with the government and we have to do some of things in our daily life by ourselves for staying our healthy.

"Increasing the price of petrol is the best way for our future?" Hi, recently I always write some essay for IELTS writing, yes I'm tired. lol So, today's topic is "Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective? Let me know if you have time for checking my essay :) Nowadays, there is a common thing that people have cars for their life in society. In addition, a way for using cars depends on people for going to job, having traveling, moving products place to place so on. However, what is the best idea to solve pollution problems with decreasing number of traffic in our life? Some people say that increasing the cost of petrol is the best solution for that. I disagree with this idea because even if the price of petrol is increasing, technology can be get through it as a long term fuel consumption, then we still have growing number of traffic in our life. In this essay, I will mention about this any solutions with some examples. Firstly, we need to prompt people choose public transportation rather than automobiles. In other words, government should creative them as plenty of services for citizens. If we have a complete subway lines in our social life, people are choosing it for going to work, shopping, visiting any places, which means number of cars can be decreasing and then car polluting might be better than before. Another reason why I disagree with this is that we can restrict people for these problems by raising tax of automobiles. This means that government should control number of people are making automobile exhaust by pushing more high cost to them. A solution is for the government have responsibility for making some new laws to people need to spend more money for having automobiles. In conclusion, if we want to prevent these problems for growing traffic and pollution problems, it is necessary to provide public transportation as a good supply, while people avoid to have some automobiles if government increase tax for them. Personally, we can not diminish these problems unless making a new ways instead of increasing the price of petrol and government should put pressure on people to show high cost.

Some of our life style are changed by technology, is it good effect on us or not? Hi, guys how are you? I wrote an essay for IELTS writing test if you have time check it. "Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make?. Has this become a positive or negative development? In recent years, technology of our life has dramatically improved, while a lifestyle of people has been changing by developing technology. In addition, situation of our relations in society has became convenient more and more for contact each other. However, is this developing a positive for us? how this developing effect on our social life and what types of technologies are relating to us? In this essay, I will discuss about this topic along with my point of different views by showing some examples. Firstly, technology has creative a new way of our shopping. In other word, it is common thing that people have some online services for getting what ever products they want. This reason why is we can get a lot of things by using online services without visiting any places. This means we can save our own time because we do not need to spare time for going to buy products if you have electric gadget. Secondly, technology has turned to our relations in the world on more closely than before. It would say that we can share a lot of information to foreign countries. At the same time people could get more opportunity for having knowledge about them . For example, if you want to know about a place in foreign country you never visit there before when you go to traveling, online network gives you that country is safety or not for visitor. In this case, you can prevent to face bad situation for your traveling. On the other hand, people have less opportunity for going to outside. It has turned our life in social on a meager life of human. The reason that is people could have done a lot of things on online for contact each other,meeting about their work, buying some products, correcting information. That has changed our life more convenient, while people have lost for having a opportunity of conversation. In conclusion, we could have saved our own time in society by improving technology but it might be changed our lifestyle to lack of conversation for people. In my opinion, technology has a positive effect on our life even if it has a handful of negative causes for us because we have more flexible time, and then we can spend it to other things.
