Hi, everyone!
Plum, I thank you for introducing a beautiful poem you received when you were 19 years old. (You take good care of your things!) Rhyming poem may sound fantastic, I suppose.
From TIME last week: Index
Global gender gap
‘The Swiss-based World Economic Forum released an annual list that ranks countries on the basis of gender equality. The report measures the discrepancies between men and women in four categories: 1) educational attainment, 2) economic participation and opportunity, 3) political empowerment, and 4) health and survival. The U.S. slipped from 22nd place in 2006 to 31st place this year, partly because of its low political-participation rate for women.’
It goes without saying that Japan is 91st place, and No.1 is Sweden. I couldn’t catch this news on Asahi shinbun in Japanese. I want to read such index on front page some day.
So, see you tomorrow, good bye.

Hi, everyone.
Plum's poem gains anyone's heart.
I'll print out it.
Do you know the difference between suffragist and suffragette?
Today, I have known it. I feel as if I made a profit.
Cherry, as I read your message about gender gap, I write this message. Do you think about men's nipple. Why does a man have. I have a hypothesis, when it was difficult to tell from humans to apes, the male of the species was eradicated or extinct, there were only female. Sexual organ of men was made from female sexual organ. Present men were once female. Men were made from women.
Hello, everyone!!!
How are you doing?
It is Saturday, December 8, 2007, today, and it has been fairly cold, hasn’t it?
I went grocery shopping this afternoon, and, oh, it was cold outside. Although there was no northwesterly wind, which is typical of Japanese winter, it was unbearable to keep walking on the street.
After I got ill, I normally watch DVD in bed before going to sleep. It is a great indulgence to me to watch DVD in bed. I had never thought of that before I came down with my hernia.
But I have decided to try to read instead of watching DVD before going to sleep, and today I started to read Children, School and Society in Nineteenth-Century England. Actually I commenced reading it when I was in Sydney this past summer, but I got extremely busy after my daughter got the baby, and after reading the first several pages, I was forced to discontinue reading it. Still reading makes me very tired and sometimes sick, but I thought that I had to get used to it, otherwise I would not read anything for the rest of my life.
Anyway school education for children in the Victorian period is terribly complicated and hard to understand for me, but someday I will be able to know something if I keep reading. That’s what reading is all about.
Well, it is getting colder, I’m afraid. For tonight, my daughter and my husband said that they would make sukiyaki, and so I am delighted. I love sukiyaki, although I normally do not eat meat.
I will talk to you again tomorrow. Have fun on this Saturday night and sleep well. Be happy always.
