Random anedocte about japanese culture:

To tonight I pack my things and prepare to go jogging. As I walk outside of the laboratory, I start whistling some music that was in my head, and head for the elevator. Midway, I remember that I had forgotten my entrance card, and head back to the laboratory, still whistling.

Y., in the lab, then informs me that I shouldn’t whistle at night: it seems that there is a japanese superstition where whistling at night brings out thieves!

Certainly an interesting new piece of information!

Wanna share any piece of interesting superstition you know?

Fainting Goats. Now this is cute.

Early in the morning, I have lots of things to post about, but not yet in the mood. So, two links:

Riding Dirty

White and Nerdy

I <3 Weird Al

So when whe got to okayama station, leandro, whose house I was going to stay in, asked us to wait for him in the east exit. Okay, but which one is it? I decided to ask a girl in a nearby shop:

Claus (in japanese): Is this the east exit?

Girl: …

Claus: The east exit, is it here?

Girl: … Y-YES (like, in english)

So me and my friends decided to wait there. Of course, it turned out that we were waiting in the WEST exit. It might be possible that I spoke something wrong, but I thing the most probable is that the girl got scared by a gaijin asking her something at all.

Google has made a game. It pairs you with someone else on the net, and show you both images. Then you have 90 seconds to label the images, and if you and your partner give the same name to the image, you get points.

You have some fun, and google gets some idiot to add keywords to their images - everyone win! (except for your work to be done, of course)

Google Image Labeler

Try it, if you have some minutes to spare. My record so far is 1200 points.
