I took off the day today because I needed to go to the Tax office for an income tax report and after that the dentist. What a busy day. At the dentist, I had to have neurotherapeutics but I didn't feel any pain. The method of treatment is really getting better. I am glad to know it.
Alice sent this post: 'How to find out what side of the brain you are using?' Thank you Alice! I see her spinning clockwise. At any rate I can't see she is spinning counter-clockwise.
The toy maker BANDAI released a cockroach robot 'HEX BUG'. The Bug reacts to sounds, so you can enjoy controlling bugs. I guess people who hate those bugs won't like this toy. Here is the movie. Ahh orz.....
Randoseru is a leather backpack for elementary school children. When I was a kid, boys used black colored ones and girls used red colored ones, but recently children choose various colors like sky blue or pink. In Japan, the end of March is the graduation season, this article said a service that makes a small randoseru from an old one after graduation is getting popular. That is a good idea, many many good memories will be packed in a randoseru.
I was born in Tokyo. But there are many places I have never been before in my life. Actually I went to Tokyo Tower just several years ago because my foreign friend asked me to go there with him. Today's nifty portal Z picked the tourist center in Shinjuku. Then I realized I have never been to tourist centers actually. They said the leaflets for foreign tourists are so interesting. They said the Japanese foods don't look great at all (actually they look so bad for us) and there are many shops and restaurants that are not popular for us at all. Yes, but it will be the same in other countries. Last year I went to Taiwan, but the shops that guide books or tourist sites recommended were not good at all.
Hi Michiko san
Arigato gozaimasu for your comments. It is very hard to learn medical words for me in Japan. We don't need to use it on our daily conversation...Arigato

Mari, I was born in Tokyo too - at Tachikawa Air Base which is now closed. I chuckled at your word "neurotherapeutics". I think you mean "root canal treatment" or more technically, "endodontic treatment." In Japanese it is "kon kan chiryo." I'm a dentist in Virginia and my cousin is a dentist in Kyushu!
