HAHAHA,this is very informative!

The funniest fact to me is "Your hair grew 317cm".

3m!!!!.... Unbelievable!

Well,now I think I really should have kept my hair grown out without any haircut since I was born.My name would definitely be entered into the Guiness book(Oh wait!I've just found that the world record was 4.17m!Gee!).

This reminds me of an interesting story that a hairdressor whom I had my hair cut last time told me. The story is like this; Human's hair grows about 0.4mm a day,and a nomal adult person has 100,000 hairs on avarage.So if you simply calculate from these facts, it means that your hair grows up 40m a day as a total.

40m a day!

Is it only me that is surprised by this fact?

If you have Facebook, just try it http://apps.facebook.com/lived-time/

Anyway, I love Facebook. These days I spend lots of my time on Facebook.It's the only way for me to keep in contact with my international friends at university who left Japan and went back to their countries this summer. I heard that most of people from English-speaking countries use Facebook, but is it true?

I wish there were something like this Facebook in Japan as well.

In Japan, Facebook is still not popular at all. As the most popular SNS site in Japan, there is one called mixi and I also have an account of it, but there is no function like "status" on Facebook. We can only post journals and share photos and videos.I'm not so good at writing in Japanese (lol) so I rarely do it. We can play only a few games.Boooring.So I haven't logged in for a long time.

OK, I've gotta go now.Back to study! Pardon me for today's random topic. Thanks for reading=)

Japanese English = Jinglish

Since I started hanging out with my friends from English-speaking countries, I have been paying more attention to English surrounding our daily lives. For example, when I choose a T-shirt with some English phrases on it, I always ask my Australian friend to check whether it makes sense or not, before purchasing them.Before I met them I had never cared about it(Once I had a T-shirt with a print saying "You are dead, You are dead, You are dead,.....," ). When we're walking around cities and streets, they often stop walking to take pictures of funny English on the signs of shops and posters. Sometimes even I can get what is wrong and funny, but sometimes I can't understand why they are laughing at the English so much. They make me notice that we are surrounded by lots of "Japanese-English"(They call it "Jinglish").So, these days I have been trying to find such "Jinglish" around me.

Here are some examples of Jinglish that my friends and I have found so far;
