and I share the same passion for disney only if you live in Spain you have crappy ... I was a few years ago in disney land paris and freaked out ... now I want to go back again but this time to spend days in the park ...

JAJAJAJA! Not because I remembered that conversation we had at the Fuchu izakaya where Ayumi said that if he plays the lottery, buy it DisneyLand! JAJAJAJA! Doing the pounding!

Indeed, a couple of fun facts about Disney in Japan:

- Disney's characters are very successful in Japan, one of the places where they sell more of them Merchandishing worldwide. My host-family has a house full Japanese this merchandishing, just look at some of the pictures there are here:
http://flapyinjapan.blogspot.com/2007/02/jugando-la-wii-con-mi-host-family.html

- Nintendo (now dedicated to consoles and video games), became famous in 1933 and hit the big "buzz" in the cards industry (business she spent time) thanks to acquire the patent to make cards with the characters Disney. If you want more details speak a little of it at the end of this post:
http://flapyinjapan.blogspot.com/2006/11/descubriendo-el-japon-profundo.html

Who has seen and who sees the Japanese! Of course, the brainwashed Americans put them after the war has had full effect.
With this comment I end my participation in this blog. It was certainly instructive. It has helped me to discover that I imagined Japan long ago is dead. Japan today has all the defects that disgust me so much of the West, with the aggravating circumstance that the above be imitated are more pathetic.
Thank you all for your kindness.
Best regards and you well.
Angel.

Angel, not what disappoints you, but in my case is rather, as I read more blogs about Japan (East and kirai), I have more desire to go and spend a season or at least go visit him.

I guess the disney land of Japan is smaller than that of Paris, in this you have to go at least three days, and still gives the impression that you lack a lot to see and do.

Gusatria I know if the ticket price is affordable, but if people would like to go as often as you say ... it's also telling to spend the day enterito to see the two rides, going to all the attractions, photo shoots. . and make eating there and all ...
not if the surface will be more or less large compared to that of Paris. I have only gone to Paris and I could not see everything and going to school and between photos and much laughter we left many without realizing it ... anyway
From the pictures I've seen you if you've enjoyed!
bss *

I could not help looking at all the photos on flickr and you have something if I have to admit I admire enough of Japan. If you look to see the parade the first three or four rows are all seated, which from experience or america (who gave me life) and Europe (which I have adopted) is difficult / impossible to happen!
enviable culture!
and more so tomorrow I would go to Japan!

Does the habit of going out in the pictures showing two fingers in V is part of some secret code sign east or due to injury of the metacarpal region? It is pure curiosity, not more.

XOACAS
I think this post Kirai will help you a lot in your questions:
http://www.kirainet.com/el-signo-de-la-v/

A greeting.

ANGEL ...
The Japan that you imagined is alive and well, but if you're euivocas in Tokyo. Many people who collect prints of blogs takes an impression of Japan in part because most bloggers write from Tokyo. Tokyo and Japan to my either excites me more than anything for a few days, but I feel very fortunate to live in Nara. If you notice, and only the photos you see on blogs in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan changed a lot.

I think there is a Japan that you would love in rural areas south of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu ...

I invite you to discover Japan beyond Tokyo, a step which, unfortunately, many people do not give ... and actually miss what I consider the true essence of Japan.

Greetings to all.

Alain, You said that might please some other occasion, but I have curiosity, Ayumi and her family in which language do you speak? and it is difficult to learn to speak Japanese if you live there? (Write and know that if it is). Thanks

Greetings from Barcelona.

For Angel
I am also thinking about running away from the blogosphere, but my reasons are different from yours.
But again, I write to tell you that if you go, do not do with the thoughts you have right now.
Remember what I told you when you remarked for the first time? Read it again, please.
Angel, why a man, for example, falls for a woman and not the woman who lives next door, however beautiful it is? Why this woman marries despite the flaws you have, and when all you talk about these defects, defends with all his might? Why?
Because it has to be that woman, and because this man also has its flaws.
Japan is not only the kimono, and Mount Fuji, respect and discipline. Spain is not just flamenco, bullfighting and paella.
As Flapy says, Japan is not only Tokyo, and Spain, not only Madrid and Barcelona. You do not know how nice it was to be in Huelva and in a town of Albacete.
And what you say the West, not just the U.S., Western Europe also, is Spain. And not all Western things are bad, there's plenty more good than the eastern.
We are in the XXI century, despite all those pathetic things disgust you, and you have "seen" in Japan, one can live with these things, and choose and / or accept according to your feelings or your life. I'm living in Tokyo, because I'm working here, and things I see are necessary for my work. But I'm not one of those people of the items that you think. So I always say I'm not a Japanese "normal".
And finally, I mean that Alain-kun, is one of the few honest people (but do not know) that has the delicacy to correct or update the articles when they said a Japanese like me, because in other blogs, articles of authors as "word of God" even if esquivocadas (sometimes).
Well, this is perhaps the last "chat" we have, but if you go, remember that at least there is a Japanese through your comments, could enjoy the sense of this gentle sense of humor and wisdom.
I wish you all the best in life.

Regards

Hi minna!

It looks fun place,
when you will visit Tokyo Japoland but I'm interested to know more to the south, Kyoto, Kobe, Okinawa,

Greetings!

From my limited experience in Japan, I agree with Nora and desde_japon.

A country has many stereotypes and many images in the minds of people as "heads" in the world. So we must try to find out for yourself, and see, visit, discover, not only the best known face, promoted or a tourist site, but also what is not so easy to see. Or even what we would like to see.

I think the "problem" (not so) from the blogosphere is that it gives a very personal vision of what is before us who write. I at least write about what I find funny, or collide or details that are funny to me. And do not write about other things that impact me too much. So I think I can give the image of Japan in my blog is not and never will the image I have (which is very positive, but also difficult to explain), but only an incomplete and biased collection of details and pequenhas experiences. Surely if someone reads them will make you another photo form. So the important thing to know for yourself.
Yes, Disney loves the girls here. But Japan still has a lot of identity. Yes, copy, like all advanced countries (not for globalization), but retains many things in the eyes of a Westerner (at least for me) even seem fascinating.

Ohdiosa: I have also been about 3 days in Disney land Paris

From Japan: Yes, and the house Ceniciente you want to do: S

Angel: As you end participation in the Blog? You're bored of Japan?

Marihood: The price is 4500Yenes (about 30 €), it is for Disney land prices for Disney Sea Disney land is smaller than that of Paris, but with the two parks together I think you will like that.

Xoacas: The costubre here in Japan so the pictures come out doing the V-PEACE.

Oriol: Well we try to talk it all in Japanese, but if a word is not because I mix it with English.
Man, the difficulty depends on what you study, the desire you have and who you hang out.

My boyfriend also wants us to go to Tokyo Disney Land. He tells me again and again. I am very excited ... lol. I thought the price would be more expensive, really. When I went to Disney World in Orlando (11 years ago) the price was similar.
I do not understand the attitude of Angel. With your words seem to q

queías find Japçon of the samurai and geisha. Currently there is a traditional Japçon how can it says from Japan) but in the same way that our country has changed, so have others.

Thanks to you who have taken the trouble to answer my clumsy words. I would like to explain: the image I'm drawing from Japan today, reading this great blog, is a country that has sold his soul to the savage materialism and have forgotten, for the sake of consumerism, its spiritual essence, it was for me one of the finest that have occurred on this planet. I imagine the same happens in all countries, or will occur over time, that all traditions are losing and end up in a uniform world hear the same music, dress alike, eat and drink the same and think the same way grid.
I am also influenced by nature a conservative (I do not speak in the political sense), always have been, even as a child. Progress has brought us some little buttons which when pressed turns on a light or a tap that leaves open water, sometimes hot. And for me some more. Time I lived in rural areas where there was no running water or electricity
electrical and I assure you that missed them. Fetching water with a public fountain or escender candles when the sun was going more than enough. People think that no material progress, no cars, no fads, no throw-away objects without a large house equipped with technology ... would be unable to live. They are very wrong. Simply do not know any other life. The less things you have a freer. The less you have less suffering is attachment. The hermit who only have one bowl for food, if your situation is truly voluntary and chosen, is the freest of men. Well, there is still a freer: he who knows he will die and therefore it does and does not need any of this material world he sees that everything is an illusion and desire useless, so much effort is useless.
So the life of Japan that tells Alain seems so empty and useless. Both work, much study, both run ... for what? Why buy designer clothes, go places to get drunk and VIP have the maximum possible luxury, luxuries that are not needed at all? It seems absurd. I know that here is the same, but in Japan I see even more extreme, perhaps because it is imposed as they culturally, still more accentuated. It's like it is converted to a religion that is not theirs by birth. It is much more extreme in their practice than those born in that religion and have always had.
Perhaps out of Tokyo and other major cities is preserved part of the Japanese spiritual life. I do not know. I can only speak from what I've known here.
If I hate to leave the blog is to lose contact with any of you who certainly, without knowing you personally, I have grown fond of, but you have to simplify life more and get rid of anything that can cause suffering. The waiver is happiness.
A very affectionate greeting.
Angel.

I also go to disney land paris a few years ago and I liked the truth. As for sets and rest is very very good, but atraccciones it down a bit. Port Aventura for example although it does you arrives to the sole of the shoe in its theaters, parades, etc., I feel much better attractions. In addition to the star Damm bottles tend to discount promotions € 1 off each bottle label to a maximum of 20 € with the entry you out for 2 hard ^ ^

Angel: I hope you do well if you decide to leave the blog.
Maybe you're right in that rural life is beautiful, but I think you can not go against progress and that everything that is happening is because of this comfort and lengthen our lives more and more.

I've been in paris, orlando, los angeles, hong kong and tokyo (the 5 places where Disney park), I think the real world is more fun

With the permission of the author, again

For Angel,
I just read your comment of the day 26 on "These words are not what they seem" Forgive me please not to have noticed. I say leave me your email, but do not see it anywhere. If you want as you say "talk" with me, I'm delighted. But the thing is ... seeing your last comment, maybe you no longer want to do this. You know, I am Japanese, Japan is no longer in your mind or your heart.
Regards

For Alain-kun: You know why not email was published on Angel? Thank you.
Ah! and indeed, why not follow Juanjo comment? It's because I'm here?

To nora: Sorry, but I'm lost. I do not know what comment you mean day 26. I have not sent any message with that title, nor have I left my "email". There must be some confusion.
Indeed, this is curious. Yes he planned to send a message telling you that I would not lose touch with you if you seem right, passed between us the email addresses you ever wanted to tell us something, whether it is born between a mutual sympathy. So now I'm so busy reading your last comment. In short, they must be things of the technique, which makes him say things that no one has said. If when I am suspicious of these modern contraptions for nothing ...
Ah, Nora! Japan remains in my mind and especially in my heart. That I have been disappointed with the modern, urban Japan who describes Alain does not mean that no longer interests me a good haiku, a Japanese tea cup or a good handwriting, to give an example.
If my disappointment is greater because Japan is in my mind and my heart. And I do not roll it up more. I do not know whether it will published, but the email address which I can write as well as any other member of the blog you want, is ahv1962@yahoo.es .
An affectionate greeting.
Angel.
Alain Note: Yes, Alain, I know that technical progress and live longer. Some, of course, not the thousands that are killed each year on the roads for wanting to get anywhere faster. But we must not cling so much to life. As I said Manuel Machado:

"I do not care about life, which is already lost,
and after all, what is that, life? ... "

A hug.

Angel, sorry
I reread the commenter's name and see that Angel is the same but without an accent. The accent is yours, right?
Forgive me. I write one of these days,
Regards

Alain-kun: and who the other Angel who wants to write?

Yes, nora, mine is with an accent.
Whew, what a relief! Beginning to think I had a split personality.
At your disposal.
Regards,
Angel.

EYE! I think the progress and nature are not faced, in fact science ever advances further to the union with Mother Nature: recycling processes, biomass, environmental technology. Yes, there are still far to go ... but I think it will get gradually coexistence with nature than "an obstacle to progress."

Out of curiosity, I began a few anitos, trekking through the French Pyrenees, this discipline is people's own nature lover and supporter of its preservation and respeto.Pues well, we find several "lost in those mountains of God" in different areas of Spain and France and curiously ... we were all scientists and technologists. I believe that science and progress are as natural as nature itself.

On the other hand, Japan, for me is one of the countries that has managed to pervade nature, tradition and progress (it only takes a walk one day in Kyoto to realize), rather more than many European countries. Perhaps, Alain, because it is a lover of new technologies has not reflected this (yet) in his blog, after all talking about what he likes ... but believe me when I say that in Japan there is enough " communion "between nature and progress even within Tokyo.

ANGEL! YOU'RE NOT SEE YOU STAY FOR CONVINCING?

From Japan ...
plasma, plasma, plasma! (Applause)

Wow ... what might happen in a couple of hours, right?

Alain: Part I apologize for sending your post touches on disney where not expected. My apologies to Ayumi if we fill your disney romance, and human ideals trasendentalismo strangers. Thank you on behalf of those who have much to say and eager to share.

flapy: yours is one of the most accurate comments I read in a while. He says what I wrote in my blog: SOS a great guy!!

Angle (with accent): I understand, I understand and share your vision, but not only Japan, the world. I often feel that I have no place here, even in my own house that happens I often try to enjoy life as it is rewarding to take the necessary and needed, but I have to run every day at work, eating things I do not care consume the only miss I can not isolate myself from my own family, etc. So know that you're not the only, many of us it's the same, maybe in a few centuries we are more and more we can change things drastically. But for now every day I struggle to change myself, putting everything I believe in the most unlikely places, even in the blogosphere. If you "go" will be a shame, but let you know that small portion of your consciousness at some of us.

Greetings and thank you very much for everything.

nora: and I wondered where andarias, and I agree with you, you're not a regular Japanese, lol, and there're a common person (like me sergio@sakuratenshiproject.com.ar if you want to share an email one day).

Greetings to all.

as the song says: Something in the soul dies when a blogger is going .... "
was not quite so good, but like
Moving on almost everyone who commented on here in the world of technology, if we march Angel whom we no longer have a second opinion so different from many we have: __ (

Alain, you just need to place a vote for or against that Angel stays

Oysters, what a surprise I have found since my last comment! The truth is that a loner like me these things excite you.
Now I can not extend much because I have the computer where my son sleeps little and goes to bed. Just tell me what stake to leave the blog. Because, the truth, I thought my ideas and comments with strangers just teasing all you write, but if you do not mind longer bear my "calving" mental ... but you're still in time to deliver you from me.
Tomorrow, more time, and if you persist in your error that I stay, I will discuss all the interesting thoughts you do.
A hug and thank you very much.
Sergio PS: always, your comments, I have felt very close to me. You captured perfectly how I feel most of the time.

Very cool Disney Sea, or so it seems from your Flickr photos (very funny photos with glasses, you doing very good match), ....
2 years ago I was at Tokyo Disney Land and it seemed a bit small (though I had a great time) and this summer I dared not go to Disney Sea, what do you think?? you recommend??? (Within which to recommend a Disney theme park, do not talk about touring Japan)
Saluditos from El Puerto de Santa Maria!!!

Nora: In that Angel did not know, some readers like you to open.
Juanjo I do not think it for that reason did not feel really offended. Juanjo have at home such a modem 56kb / s charged per minute you connect, so do not walk almost normally connected to the Internet.

Shinigami: Well at Disney Sea there are more attractions to ride, I like more.

Angel: STAY Yesss!
Your comments do not annoy at all, help us to see another version of reality.

Hello, friends. Thank you very much again for your kindness.
Flapy: Have you talked to property and subscribe to your comment. Maybe I abhor more than science, what I hate is this desire to have more and more, this cult of materialism and so stark, as I have known, I miss a simpler life where you were superfluous so much as now appears to be absolutely necessary.

Sergio: As I said yesterday, you always go into the nail and you catch in a few lines what fits and starts I've wanted to express. I agree with what you say that often one does not find its place. Even within the family itself is a strange one. Sometimes loneliness becomes more oppressive when we are in the midst of many people.

Andraeil: you will continue to have, as I want, my opinions, I must seem so eccentric. But you have said, most who write here you are about axes in the technological world and so, at times, our world views differ somewhat.

Alain: thank you very much for your invitation to stay. Although sometimes differ from the statements you make in your comments, you can not doubt is that you are a beautiful person and this is well above ideological digressions.

And you, Nora, as always thanks. If ever you drop back to Spain, send me a message and I will do everything possible so that we can see in person, if only for a moment.

Warm regards to all.

JJO! ENVY WHAT! I want to go!

Those with health problems either, finance, the ministry, emotional, family, etc ... can write and I pray to Ddios for their problems .... The Lord has always heard my prayer, so I would like to pray for yours .... . write to me oasg1234@yahoo.es leaving me your problem, and I oare by God and He will help you if you really believe that If ..
