The Very Attractive House

昨日とてもきれいな家を見に行きました。ガビリエラフレズと言う人が家のかたを作りました。エスタマグリズが庭のかたを作りました。エスタマグリズの会社はRANDの庭も作りました。ガビリエラフレズはインターネットページがないと思います。へんですね。

家はいくらですか。百十五万ドルです。買いません。

Do you ever read www.masamania.com?

It is "Japanese culture report by MasaManiA with fucking photo & poor English you never seen at boring CNN, Time or major sophisticated jurnalism."

It's awesome, if you are into the Japanese-y stuff, which I think you are.

I had not visited masamania.com before. It is interesting.

I would say that I am into Japanese-y stuff in moderation. I love sushi and udon, but not weirder Japanese foods. I like anime and Studio Ghibli (must go see Howl's Moving Castle), but I don't have a big collection of it on DVD or anything. I sort of like ukiyo-e, but I don't have any prints hanging on the walls.

If I come across as Japan-crazed, it's only because I started studying the language again this year after forgetting about it for the last decade.
