h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought I'd drop by your space to say hello! I'm also a middle-aged woman, but I'm from the U.S. I live in New York, on Long Island. I'm not too sure how speaking to a "Noo Yawka" will help your English, though!

It looks like we both like the same sort of music! I'm afraid I'm as bad as my father was when he always listened to his music from the 1950's! I seem to be stuck in my old 1980's music!

I'm at work right now, and need to get a few things done. I hope to talk to you again soon!

Hello There Princess of Balwyniti(is this right nickname?)
Lovely to get your post
Yep, 1970s has become 'oldies'

I've never been to US except 'Hawaii' almost 2x years ago when I was a high school students for a winter holidays

Well, I'm very happy if we can keep in touch

Chat soon

Taamyu

That's one of my nicknames! People seem to collect a lot of different nicknames after being here for a while!

Hawaii's a very long trip from here! I have a friend who's family is from Hawaii, and I've seen some of his wonderful photos. It looks beautiful!

Japan has been one of my "dream" trips. You know how you dream about travelling to different places? Japan seems to be a beautiful place to me. I used to have 2 large posters of Japan in an office I had. I also had some posters of Paris. When things got too hectic at work, I'd sit back, look at the posters, and imagine I was there.

I live in Osaka, the second biggest city in Japan.
I LOVE Osaka
If you have computer, go to
http://www.octb.jp/english/
You can see some kind of aspects of Osaka (this is made by Osaka prefecture gov. (of course english version))
I have some pics of Oskasa, but I can't paste them here

Yes I also go to 'France' as my friends (French) live there, so US as well. My friend lives in IL.
Of course England!!!
Oooooo Lots of places I want to go.

I've bookmarked that Osaka website you gave me. I'll look at it tomorrow when I have more time. Thank you!

My pleasure

I'll try to find another lovely site when I find

I think that it's freezing in New York, isn't it?

Keep warm yourself

Taamyu

Not *quite* freezing here. It's 36°F/2°C. It's supposed to get frigid again in a few days, though. It was very, very cold over the weekend, with a wind chill of -10°F/-21°C ... and it's supposed to get colder!

What's the weather like there?

It's cold today and the wind is whirling
Normally, I suppose, it's about 1-10°C degeree in winter in Oskaa.
But it snow sometimes in mountainside of Osaka if it's toooo cold.
I guess it's colder in New York than Osaka
But cold here

It isn't usually this cold. We've had an arctic blast lately!

We had a little bit of surprise snow last night, but just a dusting. Nothing like the blizzard last month!

Although we haven't much , we have heavy in another part of Japan, so that we can , my favourite sport.
but I afraind I cann't go ing

Why can't you go ?

I don't , because I'm afraid of heights, and I don't think I could get myself to ride on the ski-lift!

I havn't got any money
Also I've got ill(mentally, but now I'm recovering), so that I can't go

But I can say I'm good at
And I'm bad at swinning

I'm thinking having no money is worse than being ill ... after all, you can get better.

I'm good at swimming! It helps that I live on an island!

How are you today? I'm a little bit busier at work than I was yesterday, but I still wanted to stop by to say hi!

Thank you for your kind thoughts and greeting

Can you imagine? When I float on my back I'm sinking and sinking

Sooooo do you live in London or New York???????

You sink? You must be very thin! I float! Especially in saltwater!

I live in New York, on Long Island. I wrote about it here, if you're interested: A507241

That reminds me! I'm sure you could write Guide Entries about Japan. You've got a great grasp of English, have you thought about doing this?

It's time for me to go home now. I hope to talk to you tomorrow!

Hiya

Yes, I sink even on the salt water

New York is such a BIG CITY

Oooo it was snowy last Saturday in Osaka, my hometown, . It's very rare to have snow here (2-3cm snow) (it's 02.00 of the 19th in Japan/09.00 on the 18th in New York, I guess??) It's raining now I hope it'll fine when I wake up this morning

Hope you'll have a Lovely Sunday

Taamyu

I did!

Hiya, yourself!

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I've been very busy lately, and this is my first chance to post here in a while. I only have about 15 more minutes until I have to get back to work!

Hello,
for delayed reply as I've not been in good mood for weeks
I'm fine now , though I'm sad that lots of my friends who use digi-box can't come here anymore
How are you?
Hope you remember me still now and keep in touch
Take Care
Taamyu

Of course I remember the gal from Osaka! I tried to think of something that rhymes with Osaka, but I don't have a lot of time!

I've been very busy myself lately, and only seem to have the time to post here during my dinner break at work! Which is over in 4 minutes!
