I decided to make a categorie about some funny video’s. The video’s can either be commecials, tv show’s, clips amongst others. I realize that not everybody has the same sense of humor so I will try to post a little bit of everything here. Ok and the first video is :
When I was a little kid my parents let me stay up for a few programs. Macgyver was one of those programs. The show was not like the show’s from nowadays. Nothing science fiction, aliens, mutants or the sort. Just a normal guy without superpowers with a normal life. Well normal life isn’t really correct. Macgyver was the guy who you called if there was a job to be done without anybody else knowing about it. Macgyver played by Richard Dean Anderson was a guy who could make a bomb with a chewing-gum, some matches and whatever he found on the way. That was one of the reasons I liked the show alot. The things he made up sometimes where fantastic and best he hated guns. Rare thing on TV these days. A good show to watch if you’re trying to find something else then gunfights, aliens, mutant and other TV show’s. See the intro from the first season below.
A new manga I recently read is Death Note. And I must say that it has been a while since a manga has such a effect on me. I started reading and after the first chapter I was hooked. Fantastic storytelling, great artwork, attaching characters, … Death Note has it all. It’s a story about a guy (a genius once again) who finds a Death Note. The note is actually the book of a Shinigami which is Japanese for Death God. When you write down a name in this book the person dies. Very original storytelling.
Since begin October the anime of Death Note has started as well. Produced by MadHouse it looks as it will be a very interesting show to watch with great artwork and hopefully very true to the manga.
A synopsis from Anidb :
Light Yagami (Or Raito) is an ace student with great aspects who`s bored out of his mind. One day he finds the Death Note a notebook held by a shinigami (Death God). with the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create a perfect world. A world without crime or criminals. However when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer.
The manga is sometimes a little complicated because of the very well found mindgames the 2 main character are playing with each-other but it’s really a fantastic manga to read. I recommend it.
Too bad, a month goes by so fast when you’re having fun. It’s already over. It has been a great month. I’ve met some fantastic people, had some really nice experiences and honestly I can’t wait to come back to Japan. The people at Sendagaya were amazing, skilled and overall really great people. The other students were really nice and fun to be with.
After the last class we all went to the classroom where the graduation ceremony was held. From every class there was a student who held a little speech about how he/she experienced their time in Japan. After the person finished his speech the director called to students the give them the graduation report. When every student received his/her report we went down to the first floor to enjoy some drinks and snacks.
Emails and phone-numbers were exchanged, pictures were taking. Everybody said goodbye to each-other. Teachers and students wished each-other the best.
It was a great month and I will always remember the time spend with everybody.
Thank you everyone
Here are some people that I got to know and who I’ll always remember:
Vikii and me, Kan Ki and me, Sam Shay and me, Azusa friend and me, Shiori and Aiko, Yuki and Yasuka
Last Tuesday in Japan so again we had to make it a fun day. Bert and I asked Yuki if she wanted to come with us to the baseball match and after that go out in Roppongi. She accepted and said she would ask another friend to join us. At around 5 we met at the Tokyo Dome to watch the match. But as it was Obon everybody had 3 day’s of holiday so all the seats were sold out. Only standing places where still available. Also because the Tokyo Giants were playing. The Tokyo Giants are the most popular team in Japan. Unfortunately the match was very boring. In the first inning the Giants scored 4 times, this meant that the game was practically decided.
After that we went to Roppongi where we met with Yuki’s friend Yasuka. Both really nice girls. Sam, another of the Belgium students in Japan, would join us later. So we went to an Izakaya with the 4 of us. An Izakaya is a typical Japanese restaurant. The place is divided in several small rooms where you can enjoy you’re meal with a lot of privacy. You order you food for the whole group. So everybody can eat a little bit of everything, very nice and cozy. Great fun.
After diner we finally met up with Sam. After a lot of running around ( trains stop running at midnight so he had to run from the last station to Roppongi ) we wanted to go somewhere with music, alcohol, people, more alcohol,…. Unfortunately neither Yuki or Yasuka knew Roppongi very well so we ended up in a Mexican style restaurant/bar where we stayed until around 5 o’clock.
