Brilliant.
Are Sink-Toilet Combinations Common in Japan?

 

[ARTESH]

I found this very interesting!

I hope Shinpachi can provide some more info / details.

 

[Timppa]

Only country in my bucket list I have never visited is Japan. Because I am a Gaijin (外人,), I should have a Japanese guide to explore everything.
Because of the Covid, maybe I never will.

 

[Shinpachi]

A thought about Gaijin.

Probably, the word would be easier to remember and pronounce than Gaikokujin for the westerners.

 

[Timppa]

My Japan holiday would include:
-Ryokan/onsen hotel (traditional house with a bath)
-Ramen/soup from a vending machine
- Kaiten-sushi restaurant
- Giant Buddha at Nara (for wife)
- Go-kart street race
- And the most advanced toilet in the world.

Not like this guy:

I'd really like to see the Mikasa. As well as most of what Timppa listed. Sorry, I just can't get over my distrust of vending machine food. No doubt their vending machines are better.

IOC President Thomas Bach.
Unwelcomed "Gaijin" at the moment.

[Shinpachi]

Thanks SaparotRob.
Frankly, even a cat in the street can heal people's broken hearts during Covid but greedy Olympic guys.

What a shame for him!!!

 

[SaparotRob]

He must feel SO embarrassed! I'll bet he wishes that mask was bigger.

It made my cats leave the room.

 

[The Basket]

How do Japanese type kanji?

Is there any movement towards an alphabet so Japanese can be typed?

 

[Shinpachi]

Type pronunciation in Roman letters or Hiragana/Katakana letters and PC will change it into Kanji-mixed text.

 

[ARTESH]

Well, I totally Don't understand anything of this song:





But lovely, Charming and Calming!

 

[Shinpachi]

It's Japanese version of "Was Ich Dir Sagen Will" by Udo Jürgens.
Very good song and her Japanese is also perfect
