So today, I read a pretty mundane article<\/a> about the author’s attempt to gradually lose weight instead of making drastic weight changes.<\/p>\n

Not super interesting but still good reading practice. Here’s a bit convoluted and kinda of confusing analogy between the author obsession with eating and a classmate that you like but try to ignore. Even my explanation sounds awkward.<\/p>\n

In addition, it looks like the American stereotype that we all carry guns in a modern wild west is still well and alive in Japan. <\/p>\n

\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u4eba\u304c\u30c9\u30f3\u30d1\u30c1\u6226\u4e89\u3057\u305f\u304c\u308b\u306e\u306f\u3001\u3082\u3057\u304b\u3057\u305f\u3089\u3001\u305d\u308c\u3053\u305d\u30d4\u30b6\u3068\u30cf\u30f3\u30d0\u30fc\u30ac\u30fc\u306e\u305b\u3044\u3058\u3083\u306a\u3044\u306e\u304b\uff1f<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was almost comical to see the surprise on some of my Japanese friends when I told them I don’t own nor have ever fired a gun. That was many years ago but it doesn’t look like the stereotype has really changed in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n
