Tomoko's Blog

Originally I made this blog to communicate with with my friends I made with in London . I arrived in London at 14th April 2005 and this is my start studying here. I like computer staff and would like to develop knowledge in that field . I am getting some knowledge from my friends who are so much in that field. So I would like to try what I get and put them on this blog which is useful and understandable for non computer expert person besides my personal diary.

Le Creuset Bean Pot 


Le Creuset Bean Pot 

In my life, I have fallen in love with some products.
Probably not that many but some.
This is one of them.
It is a kind of soup bowl made from stone and produced by a cmapny called Le Creuset .
this is a palm size and so cute.
You can see the picture.
How cute is that !!

Actually it is really hard to get this one if you are out of Europe.
I do not know why but many shops do not sell this designe out of Europe.
My ex-boyfriend got two bowls as a prent for me one day.
When we were together, we used together. They are great soup bowl and keep soup warm really long.
After we broke up, he did not give me that soup bowl saying he loves that bowls.

Who pay??

If you go out with someone, do you think who pay?
Here in Japan, men do not really pay. Of course, some men pay but not all and commonly believed men do not need to pay for a girl.
I am a girl.
I think people basically should pay for what they eat and drink. and if the man want to pay for me, I would appriciate but I do not expect him to pay.
Dinner at restaurant is quite expensive therefore expecting a man to pay the whole is to much burden, I think.

When I talk about this with British male friend, he said my idea is such a starange idea and my standerd is too low.
He even said I should have higher standerd.
I felt a bit sad about this.
I think I can respect the custome. I mean if Japanese guy do going dutch, it is fine since it is thier custome.
But if western guy doing dutch, defenetly, I am not treated well.
In my life, I have been dated out with western guy in Tokyo and mostly we did going dutch.
Why it is like that??
I was not important for them? I was not pretty enough??

From now on, do you think I should guy to pay for my meal?
Well.....
I would not do that. Since I feel bad if a guy do not pay so I think I should just expect me to pay for myself.
That all.

a boy in MacDonald

I went to Macdonald with my sister and her daughter the last Sunday.
Every two weeks, they provide a new seson menue and I wanted to try this seson manue "Cheese fondue".


"Cheese fondue" was ok but not that impressive. I thought I can enjoy chees more but the cheese was more think liquid than
I imagines. And when we fish the early lunch, I have notice a little boy alone eating a cheese burger with a cup of tap water.
Probably he is under ten year old.
Here in Japan, we can buy a cheese burger around less than $1. Is it same in other countries?
The set meal can be a bit pricey but if we purchase just a burger, it is really cheap.
I do not know about the boy at all and we did not talk to him since we were really just leaving.
Maybe even if we had noticed before, we should not talked to him since we might spoil his relaxing time.
However I just imagine, it must be so lonely feeling to eat a burger alone in the Sunday branch time.
