Kuwa-No-Mi, The Mulberries



When I visited one of my friends who works for the farm, she gave me some kuwa-no-mi, the mulberries picked from the mulberry tree there.
You can see the mulberry jam at the grocery store or supermarket, but not so many mulberries fruits themselves.
 
In Japan, they say "the taste of mulberry is the taste of the first love."
Often, sweet & sour taste is described as the taste of the first love in Japan.

I think it's because the first love usually does not go well as they expected because of their lack of experiences.  So, they tend to make some mistakes.  By remembering those mistakes, they feel little sad, sometime it even makes them cry.  When you cry, you feel some stimulation on your throat.  And that stimulation is the similar stimulation when you have something sour.  So, that's why people say "the taste of mulberry is the taste of the first love (sweet & sour,)" I think.
 
My first love was when I was in the kindergarten, and she was one of the teachers there;
It's some decades ago.
...O, well. I just have the mulberries.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login.            I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.    What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.        Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.      

The Coffee Vending Machine

   When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little.  It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there.  I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes.   

Hospital Day (6)

I was about to get back to my work, then the English teacher company called me again said "hey, Ito.  You have time?  We got the English teacher who need to go to the hospital."  I was like      I thought they were joking.   But neither they were joking nor I was in the movie.  So, this time, I was taking the male English teacher to the hospital.  He got black toe nail and other finger nails were turning into black color too, but he did not remember he hit anything with his toe or his shoes had been too tight.   The doctor was examining his toes, however, he could not find what had caused his toe nails turned into black color.    So, the doctor took the nail file and started filing English teacher's toe nail.   Guess what?  The color just came off!!    He did not have to take any medicine, but he had to pay for the examining  That cost him about 2,500 yen.   ...
