Original Janpanese Curry

Today I went to Matsuya. For those who don't know, it is a very famous Donburi or rice-in-a-bowl franchise in Japan, I think it is still after Yoshinoya, people's favorite one.

Actually they have many kinds of Japanese Donburi but I always order Korean style Donburi since it is a lot tastier than the domestic dishes. The price is around 380 - 580 yen (or 3 - 5$) if you add some more nasty topping like raw egg or fermented soy bean, it is 1$ each. Pretty fair price isn't it. In UK, you can only have half frozen sandwiches with the price of 2.5 pounds or 5$, so darn pricey.

Honestly, I saw an announcement paste on wall. It said that "Dear customer, we have well prepared our original Japanese curry by putting potato in before carrot, please don't miss to taste our original menu". Pretty funny man !, changing order of ingredients make new "original" curry!! Okay I will made my original menu, french fries, by putting fries in a dish following by salt.

Priority Seat

Do you know what the hell is "Priority Seat". On the train in Japan, in every car, they usually have a "Priority Seat" for oldies or pregnant woman to sit. With red-colored, it is very easy to be seen.

Why the hell do they have to had these seats? As far as I concern (in very bad temper), I usually see a lot of youngsters ( I'd like to call them youngling, unuseful pathetic young Japanese) Okay, younglings, they sit and don't really care about who is standing up in front of them. I sometimes give seats for silvers (that is what they called old people here, I think it is that oldies' hair become silver shinning) and that a shame, why don't they Japanese people loves each other!! That may be the reason why "Priority Seat" was made.

Think about it, "Do you need any priority seat if your people are kind enough??" I don't think so.

What do I got here?

Hey fellows,
I promised to post something once a week at least from now on.

What do I got here? Dynabook G6 (released 2003) with pre-installed Windows XP Home edition + Office XP. Do you know how much it was? 300,000 yen baby (around 3,000 $). My lab was gonna throw it away!! Compare to my mini+slow Vaio-C labtop 933MHz RAM 384 MB. It is still better, free of charge. Well, with the new spec Pentium 4 M 2.2MHz RAM 1 GB. I hope I can play Command & Conquer 3 : Tiberium War with no glimpse.
