QnoQnoi

Benernya judulnya adalah acara lab buat meninjau mantan sitenya Aichi Expo 2005 kemaren.. tapinya berhubung Aichi sudah sangat dekat dengan Kyoto -well.. gak deket2 amat sihhh.. 2 jam ngereta lokal lahh.. tapi mayaaannn.. bandingin ama dari Tokyo donggg..-.. akhirnya brubah deh judulnya jadi "Acara lab plus kunjungan ke iche" .. .

Anyway.. berbekal ikan asin hasil masakan Rachma -dorm-mate- plus telor asin hasil perburuan di Ueno kemarennya -iiihhh.. Qnoi banget siii pake telor asin.. haha..-... brangkat dari rumah jam setengah 8 donggg.. dengan lari2 ngejar kereta express jam 7.34 yang gak kekejar juga -hiks.. telat semenit-.. akhirnya nyampe di depan Suzukakedai Eki jam 8.35 -janjiannya jam 8.30-.. berharap orang2 gak protes karna telat 5 menit. Ehhh.. kecewa.. ternyata yang lain datengnya lebih telat.. gimana siiii?? katanya orang Jepang gak pernah telat?! Trus jalan 15 menit ke stasiun bus -katanya!!! ternyata ke depan gerbang utama, berhubung busnya ternyata carteran- .. ehhh.. disana udah ada sensei yang berbaik hati nalangin expenses trip ini dan yakkk.. jam 9.10 berangkat tanpa sensei. Lho? Kok tanpa sensei? Soalnya ternyata sensei datengnya baru besokannya.. Nyusul doi ke Aichi..

Sampai di Aichi, langsung keliling2 sitenya. Trus ke Aichi Daigaku buat diskusi en nyimpen barang -di kamar yang gedenya 3 kali lebih besar daripada di dorm.. hehe.. asik banget!!-. Berhubung gak ngerti sepatah kata pun.. akhirnya waktu pada diskusi, bengong aja dehh.. sambil terkantuk2. Abis diskusi, trus makan malem -dengan cheesy pizza yang enaaaaaakkk banget!- .. baru deh jalan2 keliling uni-nya. Besokannya acaranya sama, kecuali kita sempet jalan2 ke hutan gitu -lupa namanya-.. trus sempet singgah2 buat dikasi tau nama2 pohon -berhubung sensei hobi banget ama yang namanya pohon- .. trus sempet foto2 dehh... Abis itu.. diskusi, makan2.. sensei balik ke Tokyo, dan kami masi tinggal semalem menikmati kamar nan luas tea..

I got a quiz from a link that a friend sent me.. it said "what's your color?".. normally I won't pay attention to.. but this title captured my attention...

After several questions, here's the result:

Akino, your true color is Brown!

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

I'd say that it's so ME!

yeap.. why? coz it's all in here! check the review on http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200604290089.html .. so if you plan to live in Tokyo for a few months, you can also consider to live somewhere near Shimokita (I dont know the rent prices, though). It's not as busy as Shinjuku of course, not as fashionable as Shibuya of course, not so popular as Roppongi of course, but just at the right amount of everything..

And also.. it has one of my favorite shops, which is "Beaux Arts". They sell everything, from clothes to shoes, from kitchen utensils to carpets, from clocks to notes, everything.. in a tasty style. (Check out the tagline: "We sell a tasty life") .. .. Well, not so much stuffs and choices but quite okay. And also for Uniqlo-ers, there is one big Uniqlo store on the second floor of Gourmet City -in which you can also find cheap vegetables and meats for your daily food, especially at night when they have 50% discount-. Yeap, Uniqlo is there too, and has quite a lot of sale t-shirts and pants. So basicly, you can find everything in Shimokita..

I unintentionally found a review on the latest book of Alexander McCall Smith's today, at Asahi Shimbun homepage. And I suddenly remember that I love the series of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Bostwana very much from the very first time I read them (thanks to Mbak Tari ). I agree so much on what it says at the review, as quoted here: "these are cheerful books that leave you feeling good about humanity no matter how much men and women wrangle or how much everyone sweats the small stuff.". I think these books shows many moralities that is believed by African people, yet it is written in a simple style and reader-friendly (=you dont have to use so much space on your brain to understand what it says ) that by the end of reading them, I'm so sure that you will want to go to Africa. Well, in spite of the fact that it looks like everyone want to go to Africa, hehe..

As what it says on the title, it's about the first ladies detective agency in Bostwana, set up by a woman called Mma Ramotswe, and has a staff called Mma Makutsi who has 97-percent score at the Botswana Secretarial College. Mma Ramotswe thought that it must be a pity for Mma Makutsi who has such a high score, a very fine and smart lady, to spend her time working for the agency which is not so future-promising. But on the other side, a good business must have a secretary -or so she thought-, so if Mma Makutsi decided to work for the agency -which she did-, then Mma Ramotwe has to hire her.
