日本の生活

ベーグルを作りましてん。
これがめっちゃうまいこと作れましてん。
嘘やおまへんで。
めっちゃ簡単やから、皆さんも是非作ってください。
強力粉、ドライイースト、砂糖、塩、水を混ぜるだけ！
これらは、バジルとドライトマト混ぜてんけどな。
ほんで、こねるのも気持ちいいねん。
ある師匠からのお言葉で、パンの生地をこねる時は赤ちゃんやと思ってこねなあかんねんって。
‘あんた、かわいいなぁー、かわいいなぁーー‘ってゆうたらいいねんて。


日本の生活も、慣れた慣れた！！
日本語ちょっとどもるし、おもろいことゆわれへんけど、英語もかなりどもるようになったわー
って、ゆってもまだ税金払ってない人間が、慣れるも慣れへんもないわな。
食べて寝たらいいだけやからな。
でも、やっと本気勤め先が決まりました。
この不況の時に、ありがたいことです。
栃木にお越しの際は、ぜひとも一声おかけください。


仕事が始まる前に、広島に行ってきました。
出発したのはクリスマスの２５日。
青春１８切符で。
ほんで、パンチ＆パーマってゆう理容店見つけた。
むしろそれを見つけに行った。



パンチパーマは日本の文化なり。
パンチパーマについてWikipediaを参照して御覧頂きたい。

1970年代後半、長髪の流行で理容店離れが進み、客が減少した理容業界と理容機器メーカーが共同で開発した髪型である。 女性が主にかける緩やかなウェーブと対照的にしっかりカールがかかった男性的なパーマであり、「パンチの効いた」イメージが呼称の由来である。

汗をかいても髪型が崩れにくく、洗髪が便利であることなどの理由から、主にガテン系の仕事(土木作業員やトラックの運転手など)をする人などがこの髪型にしている。かつてはプロ野球やボクシング、ゴルフなどのスポーツ選手にも人気があったが、独特のイメージが定着した現在では見かけることが少なくなっている。

1980年代にはカリカチュア化されたヤクザの髪型の一つとして描かれることが多くあり、４０代以上には「いかつい」「怖い」という印象が浸透してしまっている（ラッシャー木村タクシー乗車拒否事件など、印象によって被害を受けたケースが散見する）。パンチパーマにしている人がすべてそうした職に就いているわけではなく、大半のパンチパーマの男性は真面目に働く善良な市民であるが、他者を威圧することを目的にこの髪型を選ぶ者が少なからずいるのも事実である（漫画では「ろくでなしBLUES」などに描かれた）。バブル期を中心にヤクザが好んだ髪型であることも事実だが、実際にしていたのは大半が関西のヤクザであり、関東のヤクザはパンチパーマを好まない傾向にあった。

この髪型は美容院で取り扱ってる場合は稀で、主に理容室に行ってやってもらう。アフロヘアとは縮毛・成形という点において類似するが、長さによって異なる。


ですと。
知らんことだらけやった！
関西人にしかはやってへんかったなんて！
常識知らずを振りかざしてたらすんません。
今日のブログ、パンチパーマのことばっかりや。
ほんまは、原爆の恐ろしさと核実験について、書いていこうと思ったのに。


2008年もあと２日。
2009年パンチ効かして頑張ります。
皆様、来年も宜しくお願いします。
新年のあいさつなので、やっぱり富士山のっけます。

The Fuji Luck

富士山の力信じてる人。

はい。私。


富士山ってなんかすごいよな。
富士山見えたら、10円ガムのあたりがでたような、ラッキーな気するな。
パン屋さんでパン買ったら、まだパンがあったかい時の喜びみたいなんが生まれてくるよな。
Japan has the Fuji, and the Fuji`s got something.
When you see the face of the Mt. Fuji, you feel lucky like finding the last piece of your favorite chocolate cake at bakery or like finding that your bed was still warm after coming back from the bathroom in the middle of the night in winter, dont you?
雲がかかってたら、子供が運動会で走ってるときに思う、‘もうちょっとやでー!がんばれ！！` みたいな、富士山に応援してしまうよな。
If the Fuji was hiding behind the floating clouds, you would want to say `you can do it!!` just like saying to a baby who is about to walk.
`Yes, Mr. Fuji, you can do it, you`ve got the power!`
富士山ってやっぱなんか力あるんちゃうか。
Many people believe that Mt Fuji has special power, and so do I.
でも、あまりにも、やれフジ林檎、やれフジフィルム、やれフジテレビとかゆわれてるから、なんとなく富士山ってすごいんやと子供の頃から思ってしまうんやろな。
でも、すごいんやと思う。
but i think Mt. Fuji is something.
something powerful, grateful, peaceful, mysterious, and cool.




After saying all this stuff, I have to admit that I climed the Fuji for the first time in my life.
そんなことゆって、人生で生まれて初めて富士山に登った。
ほんで、噂には聞いてたけど、ほんま人多いな。びっくりしたわ。
そんときにさ、ボリビアのジャングルに一緒にいった子にたまたま会えてん。
これ、まさにフジパワーでしょう。
There I met my friend whom I went to the jungle in Bolivia with.
see?
That`s his power.

富士山これからもよろしくお願いします。

Gracias a la vida

Gracias a la vidaaaa que me dado tanto---
人生おもろいなーーーとつくづく感じた旅の日々。
なんやかんやゆうて、９ヶ月が一瞬やったような気がするわ。

ya habia acabado la vida del viaje.
el cambio ha venido, el cambio grandisisisisimo,
que extraño a oir ¨chinita!¨ en el calle...

しかしながら大阪もなかなかいいやんと思う。
when i see security men who are leading people to cross the street euthusiastically,
when i see little kids playing without their parents,
when i hear osaka dialect,
when people give me tissue on the street,
i remember a good part of japan.
someone even gave a towel and an umbrella the other day when it was raining,
cuando me pregunto "como esta Japon?" en suda america, siempre deje "esta bien"
pero, Yes! osaka esta bien.
大阪ええわ。pretty goodですわ。

ごはんもおいしいしな。
豆乳だけが豆腐みたいな味でいまいちやなーーーアメリカのに慣れたせいかなーと思ってたら、今調べたら調整豆乳が飲むやつらしいな。
そこに書いててんけど、豆乳って、紀元前１６４年に作られてんて。
いやー、びっくりするやろ。かなり。
What a great chinese man. they made soymilk in 164 BC.
i wish i was the one who've made the fantastic drink, Mr. soymilk.
死ぬまでに何か一個ぐらい発明したいよな。

秋 aki

前回のブログでは驚くほどボブルマンのコメント殺到しましたね。

そんなこんなでこっちは秋です。
秋.
fall
otoño




i have just realized it that fall has been here, but i guess it has been fall.
last week, i was in Cafayatem Argentine, looking at trees with yellow leaves.
秋なんてこの24年間毎年見てきてるのに、先週黄色いはをつけた木を見てたら、小学生の頃に箕面にいったこととか、万博行ったこととかを思い出してんな。
全然懐かしくないはずやのに、めっちゃ懐かしいわーーと思ってん。
ほんで、この15年間ちゃんと秋を味わってへんかってんなー気付いた訳ですが、皆様季節を味わってるでしょうか?
then i remembered the time i enjoyed fall, which was when i was a kid.
i mean a kid kid, a little kid
yeah, i am still a kid...
i felt bad for those trees in the fall that i havent paied attention for 15 years.
people! look out the window now!

焼き芋できる場所がどこにでもあったら秋をもっと感じれるようになるのにな。
¨焼き芋どこでもやっていいで革命¨すべきやな。

The Bobble Men special

¿Quien no conoce ¨Los Bobble Men¨?
If you dont, you should be ashamed of not knowing what people are running after.
siran hito no tame ni, cyotto setumei surukedo,
The Bobble Men was created by the worldy known genious man, Mr. Joe.
I was fascinated by this great idea of making a bobblemen world.
Then we published the first commic, ¨The Bobble Men¨.
Basically, the bobblemen love the bubble tea, as you can imagine.
They live in the ocean but can live on the land too.
bubble tea tte yuunoha chinzyunaicya, ano kuro tapioka no haitteru nomimon na.
a mi tambien, me encanta el bubble tea.
si no conoces que es el bubble tea, tienes que ir a barrio de chino!!!



Today is the bobble men special.
I going to write about my trip to amazon area with the bobblemen.




8 nichikan hune ni notte, Bolivia no kitano houni ittenna.
mainchi konna huuni sugositeten.
estaba muy comodo así en el barco.






I woke up at 5:00am everyday (because I went to bet at 7:30pm every night)amd saw the sunrise.
Todo los dias, el mañaser tuvo la cara diferente.
kawakara miru asahi ha, honmani asaga hazimaru tte kanzi de, kireiyanen.








I visited a community of Tsimane indigenous people.
They do have problems such as not having drinking water, not having hospitals, and not having health insurance, but their life was really beautiful.
They wake up when the sun rises, work in the rice field, go fishing, and make chicha in the day.
In the evening, older kids and men play football until the sun set.
Then they go to bed at 7 or 8pm.
They work to eat.
They dont live to work.
I think people work tooooo much.
But I have to work if i want to travel.
someday i hope there is going to be days that people only work 5 hours a day.


este foto, no creo que necesito explicar.
en el rio.
eso es la manera para pescar si no quieres ningun pescado.
¨konnan de tureruwake naiyan¨ toka iinagara sakana tuttetakedo, turenkattawa.
we went back with no fish, saying ¨there cant be fish where people wash their clothes up there¨.
The next day, the family we stayed with cought 30 fish.
sasugayanna.

Hola---

Hoy dia, voy a escribir algo...
sshaaaa!!!!!!!
hona kako.





I am in Cochabamba, Bolivia, now on 26th of March.
It´s been 5 and half months since I started traveling.
ooooi, it´s already been more than a month in Bolivia.
wahhoooou.

I have met many people until now.
people who i met and talked only for 10 minmute
people who happened to stay in the same room and hang out for a couple days
people who i traveled together for more than a week
habia super buena gente que yo ha conocido.


kangaeteruto subete no guuzen ga watashi no ima no seikatu wo naritataseteru.
These coincidences affect my life here a lot.
Meeting someone new is always a coincidence- even if i am in somewhere else.
But now, I dont have a routine in my life.
My routine is to wake up sometime in the morning, eat when I am hungry, and sleep when I am sleepy.
In this super free life, these coincidences seem to be happening by a small small small chance.
I feel like that these are not coincidences but are fortune.
hito to deaunoha guuzen yanenkedo, sonohi ho sugosikata wo dounidemo kaereru seikatu no nakade okoru guuzen tte, guuzen sugite unmei nantochaunkana tte omottarisuru.


The took a boat to an island, Taquile, in Peru.
Taquile, i think, is one of my favorite places in Peru.
I happened to take a boat to Taquile with a french family and who knew where they were going to stay.
So I went to a family house with them.
There were 2 kids, 9 year-old boy and 8 year-old girl, who were super shy and super cute.
The kids showed me around in the island: to the plaza, the school, and the beach etc...
The island has very beautiful life.
They sure don´t have a lot of things that people in the main land have.
They don´t even have the basic stuff enough for them to live such as electricity, fruits, and good fields for vegetation.
There, when kids get 7 years old, they start to learn knitting.
The boys learn to knit hats and belts, and the girls learn to spin cotton into thread and make sheets.
Everyone is knitting or spinning when they are walking.

I wish that I could put up my pictures.
But my SD card that i used is not working well...

I loved these kids and they liked me.
The boy was crying when I left.
I almost cried.
monma ni kawaiikora yatten.

on the way back from Taquile, I met two boys from Basque.
Yo creo que fue una fortuna que encontré con los chocos.
I traveled with them for 1 months in Bolivia.
It was super fun hanging out with them.
and I am really sad after they went to a different direction.
pero somos viajeros.




Every action that I take affect my life.
Its almost scarely.
Everything happens by chance.
Everything that I am going to see happens because I am using internet and writing this now.
nanka kowai yaro?
If i wasnt using internet, i would see different people and different scenes.

I meet someone since I wake up late.
I meet someone since I am lost.
I meet someone since I feel like drinking coffee at cafe.


This guy, sitting next to me now, happen to have a sister who works for a company sells used cars to Japan in Japan.
He has been asking me millons of questions how to sign up for a car auction and asking me to translate to spanish.
He might be thinking that meeting with a Japanese person at this computer place was fortune.

I dont know.
coincidence, fortune, fate, guuzen, meguriawase, unmei, casualidad, fortuna.....

I dont know how fortune tellers can say something super unknown...
and fortune cookies
People´s life is not as simple as a fortune cookie can tell.

Anyhow, meeting new people is a lovely thing.

wooow.
i wrote it!!!!
yay yay!

las fotos estan acá.

日本語や。さすがクスコやわ。
今Peruのクスコにおんねんけど、めっちゃ好きやわ。ここ。
この前Fiestaがあって、道端で水風船とかめっちゃなげてくんねんな。
一回バスから降りた時にこけて、その瞬間に子供五人から水風風船どころか、バケツごと水かけられん。
子供相手にめっちゃいらだったわ。叫んだ。
でもそのあと、缶のすぷれ・買って、かけまくった。
めちゃめちゃおもろかったわ。

Feliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz Año!!!!!!

2008! 2008!
fuuu fuuu-----
yes! Yes! yes!!!
Si! si!
2008 nen ya---
Akemashite omedetou gozaimsu.
Happy New Year!
Feliz Año!!

I feel sooo great that I am living in 2008.

Finnally! I came to a different country yesterday! PERU!
I am in Piura, the north coast of Peru.
Hace mucho calor. hot hot here.
I was in Ecuador for 3 months. I cant believe that it's been 3 months...

Over the new year's day, I was in Machala, the south of Ecuador, with an Ecuadorian Family.
It was such a great new year's eve and day.
Seriouslly until that day, i had thought that Japan was the best place to spend on New Year's day.
I am sure that most of Japanese people would agree with the idea.
You really can experience the 'new year feeling' in Japan.
I even like the tradition of massive cleaning before the new year.
Bbbbbut, a new year's day in Ecuador is aaaaawesome AS WELL.

Before the new year's day, people make paper masher figures called Año Viejo (old year) that are often regular peeople, politicians, or cartoon characters.
This is what we made.
an old man


cool, right?

On the new year's eve, people burn them around 11:50pm.
Every housefold has one or more and burn them on the street.
I have never seen a such scene.
Everyone is on the street, even three years old kids.
Everyone is burning the Año Viejo in front of their house.



The strets are on fire, really, and fireworks were popping everywhere, eeeeverywhere
The fireworks in Ecuador is soooooooo loud for some reason.
Then 12 soconds before the midnight, we ate 12 pieces? berries? of grapes on each second.
At 12:00, everyone say "Feliz Año" to everyone.
Everyone hugs one another.
People visit their neightbours to greet.
I hugged a lot of people who I don't know.
I love it.
Everyone celebrates for everyone.
Then we went to una fiesta at 2:00am because parties don{t start until that time.
We went to a street fiesta and danced until 7 in the morning.
The family in front of the house I stayed at were still dancing at 10:00am.
Some are like in 60s or 70s.
Latin people must be 1000 times energetic than Japanese people.

Its an appealing new year's day, isn't it?

I never knew that you only can see 1 file if you don't have a facebook account.
I posted some pictures, go to this site below.
You are going to love Ecuador!
