French words for English workbooks
If your preschool child is anything like mine, he has amassed quite a collection of coloring books and workbooks and maze books--in English. But which parent spends more time sitting with him, reading the directions, supplying the scissors and paste and marker caps, encouraging him to stay in the lines and off the carpet? Moi. The one who only speaks to him in French....

Far Away Blog: Raising a Bilingual Child in Japan:
Raising a Bilingual Child in Japan
Parenting is something that is never easy. Being a first time parent is even more difficult since you basically don’t know anything. You can of course read books on the topic, scan blogs and talk to friends and family with children, but at the end of the day, the best way to learn is by doing. Trial and error seems to be how most new parents make their way through the complicated world of raising a child.
As parents, we are concerned with all aspects of our child’s development (or at least we should be). How are their gross motor skills? How are their fine motor skills developing? Do their vision and hearing seem to be good? Are they developing problem-solving skills? How is their language developing?........
Crying at a Buddhist Funeral
The room is a blurry haze; the bright orange of monastic robes saturate her vision and her feet seem to hover as she moves to an open chair. Her mind is distant and she can’t feel a thing but for a sensation of cold emptiness that presses against her chest, growing and growing, threatening to freeze her. She raises her eyes – they are heavy and wet with tears – but the faces of those around her are tranquil; at ease, as if someone has not just died....

The Year’s First Visit to Shinto Shrines 初もうで
Blog Theme
On this blog, I would like to discuss different issues of the world in the light of the teaching of Pure Land master Shinran (1173-1263). このブログでは、世間折々の問題を浄土真宗の宗祖・親鸞聖人の教えに基づいて考えてみたいと思います。 (a stone image of a small boy and a girl on the street in Arashiyama, Kyoto)
The Year’s First Visit to Shinto Shrines
In Japan, many people visit Shinto Shrines during the first three days of the New Year's holiday in order to pray for a good and happy life throughout the year - for happiness and lack of misfortune in the household, traffic safety, success in business, success in learning, good health, good fortune, longevity, encounter with an ideal husband or wife, safe and easy delivery of a baby, and so on. Those wishes represent our selfish desires, and if gods were to listen to the millions of wishes thrown at them and fulfill them, they would go totally crazy.

Kawaii (pronounced like the U.S. state Hawaii except with a K) means “lovable,” “adorable,” or “cute,” according to Wikipedia and we’d go so far to add the word “very” in front of those definitions. Kawaii culture in Japan has been increasing since the late 1970s and shows no sign of slowing down, in fact it’s getting cuter every day.You wanna read more, go to → "A Little About — Kawaii"
Kawaii culture really began to develop in Japan during the early seventies. Strangely enough, it partially stemmed from a movement in handwriting where teenage girls began to use mechanical pencils and decorate their writing with symbols like hearts, stars and sometimes even Latin letters.
Natto, along with uni, and konnyaku, make up the top three Japanese foods that scare the bejesus out of people. None of these foods actually tastes bad. I think they are scary due to their strange textures. I have read countless websites and books that say these foods are an “acquired taste”. Acquired taste is a cheap way of saying people don’t like them. And if you do like them, you need to explain yourself.
Sometimes called conveyor belt sushi, sushi train is another must do eating experience. The trend is catching on, so it is likely you can find a sushi train restaurant in most large cities all over the world. Being from Australia, I know there are many popular sushi train restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne (and I’ve spotted a few in Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast and other places).
Sushi is a very healthy and traditional Japanese food, and eating at a sushi train restaurant in Japan is a great experience. This article will show you what to expect when you visit a sushi train restaurant in Japan.To be continued as below as his blog;
"JUBAKO" means Japanese wooden multi-tiered food box covered with lacquer, kind of lacquerware. Japanese lacquerware is sometimes inlaid or carved. Lacquerware includes boxes, dish, chop-stick, spoon, tableware, etc. painted with lacquer in cultures mostly in the East Asian countries.
