Darlo's World

To help out students and friends who are learning English, I’ve started a much simpler blog on Ameblo (Ameba). Chances are I’ll be updating it more often with short entries, so feel free to check it out!

Darlo does not like the cold!

Yesterday a friend of mine who pop’s onto this (and on accaision the Japanese blog) made a fair comment. Why is it that the the Japanese blog is updated more often. So as a means of repeating what I said to him incase anyone reading this was wondering that too, I thought I’d answer in an exclusive English only blog.

If we take my latest entry to the other blog, 老若男女 (rounyaku nannyo, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys & Girls), I spend the entry talking about how I went into a shop, saw a quirky book on sale and bought it. I then procede to comment on how all I seem to do at the moment is study.

The thing is unlike when I was in Japan where everyday was a mini adventure, right now I do spend about 80% of my waking day doing things that aren’t worth reading (let alone writing) about. Today for example, I woke up, ate some (own brand) Weetabix, studied, ate a lasagne, studied … which leads me up to now. Perhaps things will pick up again in a months time when my Japanese “do-or-die” exam has ended.

One of the main reasons I’ll still continue to write arbitrary faff on the Japanese blog is mainly for me to continue practicing. I have a regular couple of commenters there to spot me when I balls up, so it’s really helpful for me.

We’ve still not got internet at home yet, but that’s soon going to end now that we have a BT line coming in and O2 Broadband at under a tenner a month.
