Anybody knows the meaning of this image? The guy in the picture is either recovering from sickness (which would be good) or is seriously anorexic.
Asian countries are well-known for the lack of overweight population (and also their below-normal weight), and this is actually the case as you’ll be amazed that it’s hard to see more than a few overweight folks in Japan, especially compared to some places of the world. I don’t blame it all on the diet, since we don’t eat so much fast food around here but people are still a bit chubby, but also to the type of lifestyle (hey, Japanese folks do drink beer too!). My personal experience with Japanese, Chinese, and Taiwanese folks is that they’re always running back and forth, and I was truly amazed that Office Ladies in high heels will run faster than me if their train is leaving. Not saying that you shouldn’t take a rest, since I personally love to do so every day, but I guess this is one benefit of such a stressful lifestyle. One thing for another ^^

Medium Kick, Shoryuken, Shinku Hadouken are all moves that I’ve been doing without a problem since Street Fighter Alpha came out. But for some reason I always have a hard time performing Ryu’s Piano Sonata, even though I play the piano. Ryu’s answer to Akuma’s Raging Demon maybe? ^^

Or should I say, a poor man’s curry rice ^^;
Curry is one of Japan’s most popular dishes (particularly curry rice), and is also well known amongst East Asian cuisines. Curry originated in India and South Asia and expanded to all Asia, and arrived to Japan in the Meiji era.
Anyway, imagine how many spoons of rice you have to eat with each chop of vegetable on the curry above! Via Neta.

I was until I found out that they served a sort of pork. (Thanks Osk)

Since Japan is the top digital camera producer with brands like Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, it’s important to know how they along with the rest of us Asian friends take pictures ^^; for those interested in not only the technical aspects of cameras but also the different stances when it comes to taking pictures.

Yesterday the Embassy of Japan gave a small speech about the Scholarship to Japan which has been the latest topic around here ^^
Half of the participants there are applying for the undergraduate scholarship, with only three seats available for all Central America I think. Nobody from Costa Rica has ever won this scholarship, since there are many topics not covered by our general education. Take a look at the past exams (chemistry, physics, math, etc.) Math is okay except for calculus (our school did have calculus though), but to tell the truth I would flunk on the other ones. It’s kind of saddening to hear the staff from the embassy say that you shouldn’t have high hopes (or any at all), but it’s the right thing to do. I mean, when you *do* have a chance it’s okay, but seriously no school here graduates students from high school with a level close to that one. I guess here’s when you see the difference between high school around here and in Japan ^^ math is pretty okay though, which is surprising.
Here’s a sample question from the Biology test (remember that this is undergraduate, you should know this by high school), I chose an “easy” one:
The final product of glycolysis in respiration, which is incorporated into the TCA cycle
A. glucose B. PGA C. Pyruvic acid D. PEP E. RuBP F. xanthophyll
Tasty~
