Hi. :smile: Looks like this week is busier than the last one.
In case I won't be able to update, here are some interesting link I found today via Video Google. I hope you will find these interesting...:wink:


Links for にほんごのべんきょう(for studying Japanese language)

①Yamato Damacy （大和魂）

Here you can find weekly video programmes, hosted by Rahman and Jeshii, who are both fluent Japanese speakers. It is also interesting to know what seems topical/interesting for foreigners ... If you like what you see, you can also use the following link to play the series to date back to back...

②Student video (parody of once famous TV programme called Iron Chef)

Compared to Yamato Damacy, students here are a lot less fluent - i.e. beginners' level and scripts can be edited not because they don't make sense but to be perfect. They made this parody of (once famous)Japanese TV programme called 料理の鉄人 (The Iron Chef).
I liked the video as it reminds me of the fact that leaning should be FUN and spontaneous to be effective.

Links for しゅみ (for art/architecture/design)

①Wallpaper magazine

I love good design - This is a magazine I found in the newsagent the other day. February issues features 'Best of 2006'.
The best new building is The viaduct designed by Fosters and Partners.

I wish I could drive there, but realistically I won't and cannot. I can only drive locally.:faint: SAD. I don't think you can walk across, but it looks beautiful...


Forgot diet for a day - VIVE la FranceIt's been a tough week...

You are a saint! If you see my blog entry for today you will see that I am having a lot of frustrations in じぶんでべんきょうしています。

Once famous? I adooooore these shows! I think they even recently made an American version, and Morimoto Masahara san is still there. But I miss Sakai san :frown: Still awesome shows :up:

I am going to look at these videos right now!!

Thank you, thank you!

Hello. Gost-san. I'm glad you liked it.　I like the music they play just before はんけつ（judgement), though not knowing the title.
