    Japanese rice cooker for Europe

    Hi all, I want to take a rice cooker back to Europe. I know that they have foreign models for 230V. Can anybody recommend where to buy in Tokyo or online?

    Your relationship with Japan

    Currently I live here in Nagoya. I will stay for one year (came in April 2003) but probably will try to stay another (I have a postdoc research grant from Japan). It's the first time for me being in Japan.

    The difference between i- and na- adjectives

    What about imported adjectives like the following: reddo guri-n iero- ero tekunikaru According to Jim Breen's dictionary they are all na adjectives. Does this automatically apply to words borrowed from English (other languages)?

    Shopping Question

    digicam I bought a Exilim EX-Z3 (Casio) 3.2 Mpixel+64 MB for about 48.000 Yen today in Ohsu, Nagoya. So compare yourself (I paid mine with credit card, account in Euro).

    Minorities in Japan

    I also would like to throw in a question. A book that I recently read mentions that gaijin who speak "too" perfectly Japanese are being treated less courteously because they are considered as intruders into the Japanese society/culture. Could anybody give some comments?

    Rustic Town, WaiWai

    Thank you very much for your information. Probably Nagoya City is rustic enough for the moment :D Anyway do people from Tokyo make jokes about Gunma in general as propably virtually any country has region considered to be especially backward? (I won't name the ones of my own country... ;))

    Honshu 7.0

    It's really odd but I didn't feel it at all. I was in Tokyo at that time but obviously distracted by talking. Only later I have been informed about the earthquake. Scary, isn't it?

    Rustic Town, WaiWai

    The question is... I think arnadstephen is quite aware of the fact that waiwai is not the name of a place. His question is simply: Is Gunma a rustic area? And my question: Would it be an interesting place to go to and if yes, why?

    Katakana origin

    I found a program for MacOS on japan-guide.com which tries to visualize hiragana, e.g. 'se' is explained as 'se~nor' (dunno if spelling is correct) with hat and mustache. Actually I didn't find it very useful and just try to memorize the shapes.

    Omiyage

    Thanks, I will take a look. But is it omiyage (I searched for that one but didn't get a hit) or is it omiyagi?

    Omiyage

    Hello, I will leave for Tokyo tomorrow for three days. AFAIK, Japanese have the tradition of bringing omiyage, i.e. small presents from the place visited. Unfortunately, I am unsure what to bring. Any suggestions? Hannes.

    Hi everyone,

    I was too lazy to introduce myself yesterday after that long ride to Meitou-ku, Nagoya but now here we go... Well, now you know that I'm in Japan at the moment and my interest in this country should be obvious :) My name is Hannes and I will stay here for one year working at Nagoya...
