My ex teacher gave me an interesting article.
It's about "Sousyoku Danshi".According to the article, a pop culture columnist defines it as herbivore: a Japanese man who saves money, shuns sex, has a penchant for nice clothes, and prefers a quieter, less competitive life style.
Besides these, they tend to be close to their mothers[I think it's not necessarily so], prefer platonic relationships with female friends, have fewer career ambitions.
It's true, it is happening in Japan now.
I think it must be a part of new culture and we don't need to hesitate to accept it , although I don't want to be.
The only thing I'm worried about, however, is a lack of competition in the future.
I think some reasons are obvious.
One of interesting reasons is a advancement in the social status of women.
As time goes by, male chauvinism seems to be disappearing.
If young Japanese men are called "herbivore", young Japanese women who bring home the bacon might be called "carnivorous girls or women" hahahaha
The time may come when carnivorous girls or women will feed on herbivore boys or men.

Big Mac S size
Before I caught a movie, I ate Big Mac Combo for the first time in several months.
It was amazing. It was every inch a small size, but in the huge box for Big Mac.
Moreover, they served me not only such as a funny hamburger but also lukewarm Coke and the burnt French fries.
Unfortunately, I rarely eat such as junk food, so I didn't care and enjoyed them. I just had no choice, cuz it was around 11:00 and there was no restaurants around me.
However, the movie I caught after that was so funny and might be the best comedy movie that I have ever watched. You must!!!!
By the way, I finally changed my flight schedule to September 1st.
I wanted to go back to Japan earlier, but there was no seat any more.

Naomi Wolf
Today, I read an autobiography. In the back of the book, there was a small paragraph entitled, "About the Author." I laughed. MLIA

My Life is Average
Today, when I saw a police officer, I mentally checked if I was doing anything illegal.
Of course I wasn't. I smiled at him and he smiled back. MLIA [My life is average]

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" by shakespare.
Do you understand what it means?
What matters is what something is, not what it is called.
I stick to my principle.
