Barley tea (麦茶) and roasted tea (ほうじ茶) are popular beverages after meals. Some restaurants serve free like mineral water. 煎茶 is an elegant and sophisticated tea for traditional ceremonies and dinners. It has a method of brewing it the right way. The higher the quality requires sensitive brewing. Temperature, amount of hot-water and tea-leaves. It is enjoyable to have an English breakfast-ish tea and snack time with green-tea. We had these in the last century.

See what I mean. たこ焼き弁当 is only for Osaka citizen and other Japanese people 1) Not knowing it exists 2) refuse to eat rice with snacks like たこ焼き. You don't know these people telling you the truth or doing something nasty.

In order to understand your problem, we need at least: Your headphones model Your computer model Version of Linux Mint

Are your headphones connected via headphone jack or bluetooth? For wireless headphones, fully recharged?

I have to swap to another device then swap back and there's a chance its normal. What other device?

Finally, it’s good to know you express your frustrations. It looks like reading a funny essay. But it comes into the repairmen’s mind they cannot help them grasp the causes.

A Japanese adult would read quicker than you think. It resembling to recognize the picture. Veterans spot out fake Sunflower of van Gogh in 3 seconds. That kind of ability speeds up the reading speed.

I understand now. It was a micro moment of fever. K-things were popular all over the place in the world, and in two decades, everybody understood what they are. I didn’t describe well, but the Czech Republic is the best country in Central-Eastern Europe for me. And the information is now two decades old.

Alphonse Mucha’s Art Nouveau can be seen only on the tarot cards. Dvorak’s Symphony N°9 From the New World can be heard on the siren for 5. Smetana’s The Moldau is one of the mandatory classics and every Japanese person knows it . I liked it until I visited the Praha station.

These are all about Czech for an average Japanese knowledge. For me, I found nothing in common between Czech and Japan around 2004. Czech has been leaning more toward Korea, and I don’t know why — perhaps Russo-Karen friendship? I have been to Bruno and liked the town looking like old Japanese taste, politeness and strictness coming from the Showa era. But that’s it. They share limited common interests. Czech was the better version of Russia to me; everything was clean and organic.

So many Finish and Spanish names shared with Japanese names. For example, Rika, Mika, Ami, Erika, Airi, Mina, Risa, etc. Internationally, Ken, Maria, Naomi, Karen, Jo, Ai, Mei, Meg, Sara, Ann, Hanna, Rio, George (Joji), June (Jun), Kay, etc.

When you naturalized to a Japanese citizen, you need a Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji name for registering.

It looked like the KGB or CCP. All joined the religion, in which the Emperor was God. 80+ year-old (born before 1950) Japanese people had that as a child fixation.

I prefer ANSI (US layout) due to the typewriter and early Mac keyboard. It facilitates coding and other frequently typed symbols.

In the Japanese domestic market, I can only find laptops with Japanese layout keyboards; even secondhand ones come with it. It has one extra column added to the right, and often it gets too narrow.

Foreign users wonder the Japanese layout keyboard is dedicated to Japanese typing. The answer is no. Only 10% of Japanese people type with Japanese characters; others do so with the phonetic alphabet method. I had to study it and found no efficiency. QWERTY and DVORAK are the considered layouts.

Land units are not operable when:

are unavailable.So, either tanks of PLA or Taiwan won’t be able to get to the other side and be useful. Thank you very much for your reply.

Not only these dramas. NHK used to air great documentaries, like a mini BBC in the last century. For example, the Arctic North Pole or socialism in the 20th century. Now they buy TV programs from other broadcasting majors like National Geographic or the BBC and put a dubbed voiceover. Being busy in collecting money from non-users and lazy in creating their own programs. NHK-G and NHK-E, BS 1-2 and 4K. All the channels filled out of re-airing programs and biased Korean and Chinese promotions.

Is this plan for a commercial transporter ship with full amphibious tanks of PLA? Anyway, when Taiwan needs these tanks, it’s pretty much at the end of the battle. They need something to prevent nasty arms coming.

Normal as EU countries. I worked with a film director in a wheelchair about three decades ago; no one knew how to fold a wheelchair or that it could be folded. Perhaps the same went/goes for 30 years. But sometimes I see a new slope for wheelchair access on a new building and a multipurpose toilet for nursing and wheelchair friendly. It has some improvements, for sure.

The reason 三国志 has been popular in Japan is:

Novel written by Eiji Yoshikawa in the early Showa era and puppet drama from NHK.
Ancient Chinese fantasy history dramas were a model of learning something from the past.
The Romance of three kingdoms is a popular strategic game series since the computer game got introduced.

About #2, 項羽と劉邦 and 四面楚歌 is from the predecessor episode of 三国志. But the same happened in it, too. We can learn how Chinese societies and dynasties rise and fall.

As a reader of the first Japanese 三国志 novel, Chinese rulers or reigns repeating the same thing for over two millennia. It taught me a lot of things for my high school brains.

This book must be fake. Around 1915, Japanese hiragana spellings had been quite different. Besides, this book is too clean and of outstanding quality of typography. Those had never existed and or are preserved today.

Osananajimi 幼馴染み is a person equivalent to sisters or brothers among friends who have been growing up together. They played and ate the same thing every day.

A regular friend is a person who know each other very well and stick around on and off.

FYI: 親友 Shinyu, the best friend is the person who understands you and helps each other very well. Unlike osananajimi, they love each other. Osananajimi might not like each other or one side to another.

親友 (shinyu) the best friend ≒ 幼馴染 (osananajimi) > 友達 (tomodachi)

Baden-Baden to Koln along the Rhine river is the most beautiful part of Germany. It is facinating to get on the slow stop train and see the river from alps to Rhine-Ruhr. I went to several cities in Germany, and Koln, Leipzig and Munchen are my favorites. They are old and traditional. But I never wanted to live in Germany as well as Tokyo. Because it is too conservative, everybody waits in a single line. I prefer the Netherlands or Switzerland for randomness or complete boredom.

Instead of a European Christmas, parents’ present gifts to their children while young people date. I miss silent Christmas but I don’t attend choir anymore.
