Finally I've started my new job. I may slow down my blog for a while, please understand :-)
I laughed at this banned TV ad of VW polo. Ha ha ha ha so black. I understand it had to be banned.
My washing machine broke!! I have to buy a new one. In Japan, washing machines cost about $300 - $1000 (with dryer). It is usual we dry our clothes outside in a garden or porch and I did. But since the rainy season will start soon (maybe next week), I will buy one with a dryer. The hardest part is the broken one. Because of the "Electric Appliance Recycling Law", I have to ask a retriever to pick it up and the cost of collecting and recycling a washing machine will be $35 to $55. あーめんどう
I was looking for a nice speaker. I need one with small size and simple appearance, that I can use for an i-pod. Then I found this one, I will buy a white one. Looks nice, right?
What? I didn't know that pedo bear is hot in the world. Look at Youtube, they have a lot of movies about the bear . We call that bear "KUMAA" and originally it came from ascii art on 2ch and originally he was not an icon of Lolita complex or child molesters or porno. I have no idea why KUMAA is used for those type of topics in foreign countries
This is funny news ; "Homeless woman arrested for living in man's closet undetected for a year". My friend asked me "How big the closet is". Do you imagine a walk-in Closet or such big ones? This is a typical size of Japanese closet. I read she lived in the upper small part in a Japanese article.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.

That VW Polo ad was never an official VW ad; someone did it as a joke.

Hmmm, when you buy a washing machine(or anything big like a refrigerator) in the UK, the same guys that deliver the new one take away the old one(if you so wish). Saves a lot of hassle ^^
Oh and you can blame 4chan about pedobear XD
