alcohol

日本人はビールや酒といったアルコールが好きな人が多いです。これは初対面ではなかなか打ち解けない日本人にとってアルコールが強力な武器になってくれるからだと思います。ただ日本人は全体的にアルコールの分解酵素を持っている人が非常に少ないのですぐに酔っ払って羽目をはずす人も多くいます。お酒とは上手に付き合って行きたいものですね。

If I was a car...

On the one hand, I would like to be a luxurious red sport car with leather seats. I would like to drive around the streets and notice everybody is looking at me. But I couldn't jump in it wearing my pajama pants because, if you have a red sport car,  you have to play the role or the people can think that you don't deserve it. You couldn't be yourself. On the other hand, I would like to be an old car with blue paint and a few dents that explain some stories about how and when it happened.

Lightnings

My wife doesn't like lightnings. When she was young her mother was afraid of them, and when there was an electric storm he ordered my wife and her brothers to hide in the cellar. If the storm happened at night she awoke and took them to the cellar. Nowadays neither my wife nor her brothers like lightnings.  My mother didn't like lightnings either, but when my brother and I were young, she worried about we didn't discovered her fear. That's why neither me nor my brother are afraid of lightnings.
