    Google Translate Fail

    by
    Ryoko Sakka Chaya Jiro ( 旅行作家・茶屋次郎 ) is a famous mystery series occasionally aired on TV Tokyo.

    I copied 旅行作家・茶屋次郎 and pasted it in Google Translate. The English translation was "Chaya travel writer Jiro"

    I found this amusing because although all the words in the translation are correct, I was actually expecting to see "Travel Writer Chaya Jiro".

    Wait a minute! I thought that Google Translate does word-for-word translation! Now, I think this translation is really funny because Ryoko ( 旅行 ) means "travel", Sakka ( 作家 ) means "writer" and Chaya Jiro ( 茶屋次郎 ) is Chaya Jiro, the writer's name.

    So, the reason I find this translation very funny is that Google Translate did a very random translation instead of a word-for-word one that I was actually expecting it to do!

    Your Very Own Spubble!

    Here's second work of ds106 assignment.
    It was not very difficult but I enjoyed a lot! Thank you Jim Groom.

    The Darth Vader guy is me. And she is my wonderfully beautiful girlfriend.

    This is how TUJ students escape from their reality.

    ~How I made it~
    Put spubble. That's all!

    I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0.

    I miss my hometown!

    by



    I would like to introduce my home town, Ichiki-kushikino city!
    The place I grew up is so country side where many nature occupies most of the area. hehe
    We have beach, rivers, mountains, many rice fields, etc.
    So all foods are so fresh!

    Interesting events too! Like Tanabata festival! We parade down the town with giant handcrafted animals and people with drums all day.
    I am a member of Ichiki youth group.
    Our group hold a beach volleyball competition at the end of summer vacation every year!
    So many paticipants from all over Kagoshima come for this competition, so it is a pretty big event.
    In this competition, we also have some other events like beach flag competition.
    It is really fun event!

    On spring, a park called Kannongaike Pond gets full with people to see Cherry blossoms.
    The view are amazing with 1000 tree of cherry blossoms.
    We have a Sakura festival during the time, and so many people hold their "cherry blossoms viewing party.

    The process to edit this image was so simpe.
    I used powerpoint to combine all the picture. I feel it is a lot easier than other functions.

    I am currently living in Tokyo where it is so crawded with so many tall buildings and houses.
    I often wish I could go back to my home town to relax in beautiful nature.
