Will take Hindi class finally! From a couple of weeks later, I will take a Hindi beginner class. Yay! Once a week after work. 20 times totally. So I re-re-re-re-started to learn devanagari by myself and I've finished most of basic alphabets. Now I can read simple words. I'll have to understand several irregulars before class. It's quite exciting that you become able to "read" letters one by one, which you can't even recognize as words before! Can't wait for the 1st day! :-)

Weekend is coming with double typhoon, earthquake and tsunami (but nothing damaged here so far!) Sounds totally bad. Two typhoon is now passing right near eastern Japan. Rain and winds are getting strong a few hours ago. Then long earth quake. It wasn't that big around my area (Kanto - around Tokyo), but quite long. It's like sea sickness. Forecast said it was M7.3 earthquake, corrected to M6.8 after a while, and again corrected to M7.1. Sounds huge, but the seismic center was a bit far from the land, and deeper. That's why the earthquake this time was wider but not that bigger hitting. And next, forecast issued tsunami alert. Right now when I'm writing this, alert lifted. Small tsunami was observed at several places, but seems like nothing damaged. Now double typhoon is still right there and blowing out. Actually we had another one last week. It was more violence one. Mudslide at several area, bunch of peoples are dead or missing at an island near Tokyo. Hope no damage this time.

Bye Bye weekend (and about twitter) Now it's already Sunday deep midnight here in Japan. Weekend is over. Blur! This weekend wasn't that bad. Went to movie on Saturday as I wrote previous note. Today I did small exercise, small work and then relax with Congolese soukous music (it's my current favorite music!). Oh, I added my twitter ID on my profile. But I guess if you follow me, my Japanese rubbish tweets might flood your timeline, cause I tweet quite a lot. If you are interested in 日本語 and prefer to catch up what I'm tweeting, I suggest to put me in a list, instead of following me! ;-)

Hello world Well, language I can write is English - excludes my native tongue Japanese. So I write in English here, for now. However my English is not great yet, enough for a minimum of communication/reading/writing for fun, I guess. Currently I'm interested in learning other languages. That's why I signed up here. Hope that I'd be able to start writing in other languages here someday soon. Even English, I'd better to make a small moment to write daily some more. Cause I have less time to talk buddies from overseas recently, and my poor English goes poorer! :-p What else should I write here...? Diary-ish...? Well, I went to Kawaguchi-shi, Saitama pref for watching Telugu movie "Ramayya Vasthavayya". It's one and only screening in Japan. With no dubbing, even no subtitles, but several keen South Indian movie fan in Japan includes me enjoyed it. Apart from the story, my most fav actor/dancer (in Telugu film) Jr. NTR performed great as usual. Usually many Telugu people living in Japan also come to see the Telugu film screenings, but this time, they have plenty of other events. Navratri, Dhiwali and athletic festival. So less Telugu peeps there.
