SODACHI!

もう、十二月の日本語能力試験2級を受けることにして、申請書も求めておきて、不確実な感じがある。中国のアマゾンから試験に関連する本をもう注文してから、二週間以内ドイツに着けると思う。大きなチャレンジだね。

じゃこれから一生懸命日本語を勉強しなきゃならないくて、未来の半年も時々日本語でブログを書くつもりだ。

初めての勉強は何のテーマがいいかな。。。。じゃ、今日はAVの話で始めよう！

キャストは加藤鷹と夏目ナナで、Ｈ前とＨ中の話を教えるテレビ番組だ。質問は両方にある：

１．Ｈするために男性が話すべきことは何？
２．Ｈするの時、男性はどんな優しいことを言ったのほうがいい？

AVのシーンは、現実と全然違うという感じだ。ナナちゃんの結論は：鷹さんのようにするな！

花了一晚上看NHK在2007年拍的関口知宏の中国鉄道大紀行，非常感动，觉得没有和自己的国家这么近过。

这大概是一部以艺人関口知宏在中国的铁道旅游为题材的纪录片，但却是用美食侦探节目的手法呈现出来，少了一般观光性节目的说教内容，更多的是在旅途上和普通中国人的邂逅和互动，异常的温馨感。好像中国人自己拍的风光记录片都脱离不了主旋律，西方人拍的又过于表面化，无法深入“人”这个主题。NHK的这一部就恰到好处，把重点放在“旅行”，不像有太多的事先策划和巨大的现场团队，但拍摄质量还是出奇的好。NHK近年来一直致力在展示“真正的中国”，大部分纪录片主题都放在改革开放和中日的历史/文化羁绊，就算批评也都恰到好处，一切都用暧昧的处理方式，基于了解，又透着客观的审视。

觉得関口是一个幸福的人，可以用那么多时间旅行，又有钱赚，不过一天坐五次硬座是不是多了点……整个片子分春編和秋編，相当于两季，总共行程是三万六千公里。相比之下，関口的BLOG里还有更多的个人思考。

可能原本觉得落后愚昧的地区，换换心态便可以看到传统和纯真，这是我以前没有意识到的。所以也在之前的十年里基本忽略了坐火车旅行，也很少在大城市意外停留过。

另外想关注一下的就是在秋編第一季西安出现的GUEST前田知惠，一位在中国出道的女性演员。

When I was walking through the campus building Anna's advertisement for her room pumped into my eyes. As she mentioned my name in the ad I was like "what, even I could be advertised too?"


Then we did two interview rounds casting 5 German girls, exactly in the way how HR managers worked things out. You laugh with roommates when the interview's done, talking about the girls' body shapes, bed skills and always trying to analyze everything psychologically though you know you're only talking crap.

And after one hour's making fun of them you and your roommates finally come to a point of serious discussion, where the decision always comes out in 5 minutes or so.

That's why I still like WG-casting and am looking forward to the next one.

So life is back to normal again as it should be. No parties this week. And I'm just writing and writing challenging my physical and mental limits.

And as usual I do some online shopping stuff when I'm stressed. As some of you might have read on my MSN status my account is red, so I turned to Taobao to have the time of my life.

Well, I'm pretty sure that you're labelling me as a big big loser because I'm still doing the things I used to do many years ago and you, you're probably sitting in your bright high-rise office thinking about your fancy dinner and luxury shopping tour. And I say, this is life.

Let's just get back to the topic.

I swear I've never bought a fake pair of Converse in my whole life and I've actually always been doing the charity thing to bring my white European friends some cheap authentic Chuck Taylors because its price in Germany is skyscrapingly high.


There it was! I clicked on the shiny flashy Chuck Taylor next to the big Taobao banner where I entered its feature on Converse sneakers. And when I saw this pair of newly released CdG Play X Chuck Taylor I was like "damn I want them so bad". Then I found some dealers, settled the price and was willing to pay twice the money for shipping 'cos these guys only like to ship overseas with tracking code. So I had my first pair of Chuck Taylors when I was 15, when there was kind of a Chuck Taylor wave and everybody in my class used to own a pair, some maybe even two. And when I was more like a grown-up I switch to Vans' Slip-On for such canvas shoes and thought maybe that was my cup of tea. Last summer I used to own a pair of fake Visvim X Mastermind Japan made after Chuck Taylor but I kind of over-wore them so I finally wore one of them OUT when I was out in the street. That was embarassing.

And you know how I hate this naughty naughty red heart with two wolf's eyes which Kawakubo Rei calls "play". This series of CdG is even worse than its collaboration with H&M (huh, at least it's got some cutting some real cutting), and Kawakubo San was like "I can print this damn heart on every kind of basic shirt to make some money out of it". That's how fashion is called.

But, what I want to say is, this damn little heart really looks good on a Chuck Taylor and is a million times better than the Pink Floyd X Chuck Taylor collaboration where they have the "dark side of the moon" printed on the lame canvas. By and large, this also proved that some fashion item can survive through over a hundred years.

Still I'm not talking about the little heart alone and I really hate it. Even if I buy them it's no comprise from my side because on Taobao they are selling these fine-made fake ones for 15 euro instead 150 euro per pair in CdG's Omosendo store.

And I'm hoping to learn something from this business on Taobao, carry it out on eBay, and bring some big loads of money back home.

Okay I'm just being tired of writing and want to let something out. I feel much better now.

Once I start with my master's thesis, I can't stop anymore. It's only writing one hour after an hour. And when I switch to my blog page, I find myself speechless.

Cause I don't want to talk about norms and identity construction here. Mama said I was living with too much pressure.

And if there has to be some updates:

1. I'm getting a new hair-cut tomorrow.
2. I've ordered some books from amazon.cn for JLPT2 this winter. Stunningly cheap.
3. I missed out on the Japan Tag in Dusseldorf.

4. I've been listening to I WiSH all day long and I love them

It seems that I should get all these twittered so that there are some tweets of me for you to follow on Twitter. I remember Jon Stewart said this last week: "Why should CNN be followed on Twitter? We can follow CNN on CNN!"
