Our school has several students from China. I do not have a good opinion of them for several reasons. Although I have to admit that most of them are OK. First, their strange recognition of “friend”. When I first entered the school, someone befriended me very quickly. A Chinese girl helped me a lot although […]

Tomorrow, there will be an important examination being held for high school students in Japan. It is called, “Center Test” which is an abbreviated form of “National Center Test for University Admissions”. The score will be a really important part of applying to an university. Since Japan is an educational credential based society, one have […]

My seminar needed some photos about a restaurant in the town. I decided to finish this difficult mission. Even though today was rainy and cold, I grabbed my camera and went to that restaurant. After getting my seat, I showed the waitress my ID and got the permission to take some shots. I shot several […]

A few days ago, when I pulled something out of my pocket, my cellphone slipped to the ground. What’s more, it was full of rocks on the ground! It was too unreal for me to figure what happened. I picked up it, finding the front panel was damaged seriously. The glass was cracked and I […]

On Monday, I registered my Japanese name at the city hall as a “Common name”, although I am still a foreigner in Japan. Originally I am Chinese, and I still have a Chinese citizenship.

I am working in a part-time job for a Japanese company in Shanghai. Yesterday afternoon, when I was on the verge of falling asleep, something unexpected happened.

I’m a serious guy, at least, I think I am. It doesn’t mean that I always finish things perfectly, but that’s my attitude toward most things. However, it donesn’t seem to work out as well in my social interactions. For example. many people around me like to talk about rumors or unconfirmed news. Every time […]

Recently, I am confused by a social phenomenon. Chinese high school students are enthusiastic about a college entrance examination called “Gaokao”.However, in the end, the average wage of college graduates seems not to be much different from that of workers who didn’t go to gollege. Well, maybe you will say that even if someone with […]

I have had a bad habit since my school times. I always avoid people I know when I meet them casually outside, such as on the street or somewhere else. It is not because I don’t like them. In fact, I want to be friendly with most of them. Rationally, the reason I will do […]

Besides holidays, I’m used to eating the same thing in the same store every single day. I don’t know if this kind of custom is healthy (both mentally and physically ). I’m quite enjoying it. Mainly, I have two reasons for it. First, I was a fat guy in the old times. During my period […]
