A Japanese grilled beef restaurant

Do you have any  favorite restaurant?I have been to a restaurant called Benihana a few times and I like it .It is Japanese grilled beef restaurant and we sit kind of private table with a steel plate.A cook comes to us and grills beef in front of us and he shows me some skills not to make us get bored while we are having dinner.

When I first went there,I had a lot of fun because the meal was great and was impressed his every skill.Moreover,it was not so pricy,I guess it was like thirty dollars each,so I sometimes have wanted to go there.

When I went there the second time,I  have been shown many skills like before but the cook was different guy.After one or two months later,I went there again with friends of mine. Unfortunately, he showed us exact the same skills as the last two times.The meal was so good ,but finally I got sick of seeing their skills,every time the same skills and seems proud of themselves. Since then,I haven't been there,but I want to go there in the future with my friends who I went there with.

Trauma

A friend of mine has been working at a plant.He had this experience two years ago. That day,he was working for a long time and he wanted to drink after work with one of his co-workers named Tomo.They decided to go to a bar and after 2 or 3 hours, they got really drunk.Then,Tomo started talking about his opinion about his job-"I am really sick of this job . To be honest ,I want to quit it and go back to my home town.My boss always abuses me and I can't say anything back to him.My life is not fun at all." As my friend heard of what Tomo was thinking, he cheered him up as much as he could because Tomo was his best friend and he didn't want him to quit this job.They talked a lot about it and they went back home which was a workers dormitory late at night.

The next day,his boss said to him-"Hey,Tomo hasn't got here today.Can you go his room and wake him up?" and my friend went to his room and knocked his door,but Tomo wasn't answering even though he was calling him more than a hundred times. No one was answering and his door wasn't locked so he decided to get in the room.

As soon as he got in the room, he saw Tomo was standing with leaning against the wall in his living room so he said " Hey,why didn't you answer me! " but Tomo said nothing. Then my friend noticed. Tomo commited a suicide by hanging himself.

Since that day, it is trauma to him. He can't get inside of someone's room until he/she opens their door. Please be careful when you get inside your friend's room.

Welcome to India.

Have you thought you are stupid? I have. I think everyone has that kind of experience at least one. When I went to India with a friend of mine two years ago, I had an awful experience there.

After we got to New Deli which is famous city in India, we tried to have lunch but we had already eaten meals in the plane, so we decided to have just snacks. Then we got on a cab to another place. There were so crowed and the traffic was terrible. No one follow the lights and they horn all the time. Everything was new to us.

Then we got to new place , I asked a guy which restaurant was famous in this city. We couldn't even speak their language so he just pointed one point on our map. We thanked him and started walking to the place he had told us. I had never imagined this was the beginning of my stomach ache hell.

We got the restaurant and I got a cup of lassi. As soon as I drank it, I got stomach ache because they had been using water from India that was not good for Japanese stomach. We were supposed to stay in India for 10 days but there was no choice for me but had to fight my stomach ache for more than thirty minutes everyday since that day. I was spending a lot of time with many toilets even though we had gone to India to go sightseeing.

By the time we went back to Japan,my stomach had already been fine. I was so careful not to drink water from India,Of course the bottles of water were fine. Finally we got to the plane to Japan.I was so glad because I didn't have to think about water anymore. However,there was nothing funny about what was going to happen to me next.

One hour after we left India, one of flight attendants served me a cup of water. I drank it without any doubt,but this was water from India.I got stomach ache again soon and I realized that I am so stupid.I don't have to say the details about where I was in the plane.

Culture and a experience of meeting gay

When I first came to the US, I was surprised about  many things.Ofcourse I am Japanese so there are cultural differences between my country and American. I think the most different thing is the( kind of attitude?I don't know how I say that ) of workers at stores.(It depends on the person, of course)When I go to stores Japan, they work fast and accurate so I seldom get steressed out about it, but when I went to a burger shop a week after I got to America, there was so big line there but there was only one casher was  availabe even though there were 3 cashers.I waited for about 15 minites and I got a meal finaly and I went back home and opened it, but it didn't have fries!I  freaked out andI tried to call them but I didn't know how to complain it so I gave up on it.That is my first experience.

Secound experience is,(this is not related to attitide and culture though.He was just a freaking crazy guy,oh gay) I was walking on the street and I saw gay,he was looking at me and came up on me,so I said "Hi" to him, but he said nothing.Suddunly he hold my body tightly and kissed me a lot I felt more than 100 times.I couldn't move at all because he was so tall and musculer. I felt like being in the hell during that time.I was so mush shocked and deppressed because it was my first kiss in America.

Japanese diet is changing

Now a days diet in Japan is changing surprisingly.American food was spread out all over Japan and there are so many food from other countries.These change brings us better and more convenience life but on the other hand, the change influence to our body in a bad way.

Lifestyle disease is the biggest problem these days.One of the reason why lifestyle disease is increasing is because the food is getting Americanized. In 1980s, there were many well-fed food that is based on Japanese weather and natural features. However, there is a problem that people are lack of enough nutrition - for example having too much fats- because the food was Americanized.And fast-food has a lot of fats but it doesn't have vitamins and mineral.There are also less homemade-food in a family because parents are busy or they don't have enough time to make meal therefore having snacks and cooked-food are increasing more and more.These lifestyle brings us disease but on the other hand , it gives us having a fun that we can enjoy eating out and having other country's food with our friends or family.So this lifestyle changes us to good way and bad way.

In conclusion, we have to get information what food we have, have well-fed food.For example, we should eat less unhealthy food and we should nor eat out so much. Having our own idea to maintain our body healthy is gives us enjoy our life more.

Healty Living

Today I am talking about health.First, I really like drinking and smoking but I know they are bad for my body.I often try to quite doing them but I always fail.Then let's think about it in different way.I want to drink and smoke(not weed) which means my body wants and needs them.Do you think it is bad for my body?I do not think so because I thought the things that my body wants are good for health.In conclusion,I will not quit drinking and smoking.I am such a dirty bug.

Thinking things in different way might change your life.
