Learning about Japan with haiku

!±8± Learning about Japan with haiku

The wind from Mount Fuji
I laid on the fan
Here is the memory of Edo.
Matsuo Basho
Haiku poet (1644-1694)

As a Catholic I did not realize that Mount Fuji is a mountain sacred to the Japanese, who are mostly Buddhists was. To them, Mount Fuji is the great gods, or kami-sama. They believe it is a mystical gateway between heaven and earth. Pilgrims climb Mount Fuji is 12 388 feet (3776 meters) to reach the top and read haiku into accountthe landscape. In literature, a haiku poem usually with three unrhymed lines, 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. A haiku is a pair of contrasting images, evocative of time and place, the other a vivid but fleeting observation one.

I understand the feelings of Buddhists. Even for Catholics, a high mountain is the closest place on earth to pray to God in heaven, as Jesus illustrated in the Mount of Olives. Since I was not able to "climb" Mount Fujiwhile in Japan, I could only guess at its peak from the train station in Odawara, the hope which is located near Hakone National Park. In our sixth and final day in Japan, we were rewarded with a sunny, clear day and the perfect, white as snow cones in the sky looked like a painting. What a nice souvenir from Japan! My feelings at that moment could be expressed by this haiku:

The older we get
tears more easily
of a long day.
Yoshi Mikami Issa
Haiku poet

It istrue that when we travel to a place for the first time we see through the eyes of a child, doing everything we encounter. If my last day was emotional, it's because my first few days were a miracle. If my experience in the Narita airport toilets would describe as a haiku, it would sound like this:

I sit down slowly
buttons and here is one hand ...
Shower in the spring.

Yes, the toilet-bidet combination with heated seats, called the shower-toilet, very popular in Japan,in public places. Then came the trains. There was something reassuring in the sweet sound of a buzz as a modern train chugged its way. Through the large window, I saw many Japanese houses that looked the same, usually painted white with brown-colored tile roofs.

The next stop was Shinjuku station, where we moved the train. It 'been a blur of black stockings with mini-skirts, leggings, boots, coats, pashminas, jeans folded STILLET heels, black jacket and tie,Chic hairstyles. Need I say more of Tokyo fashion? Fortunately for the stomach, we bought a meal from Ekiben bento (station bento) and a bottle of hot green tea from a vending machine. Yes, local fast-food Japanese version.

Just saying the word
House, that a single word
the most nice and cool.
Kobayashi Issa
Haiku poet

Have you ever tried to sleep on a mat on the floor? As for the food heated on a low table with the legs beneath the earth, as in a kotatsu? ThePart I liked best was called Yukata Japanese pajamas, it's almost like a kimono, but made of cotton. I was at home drinking green tea and miso soup sipping, eating dried tofu, ginger, maki, sushi, sticky rice and dried fish. There was so much to know about Japan and its culture of learning, and thanks to my "adoptive parents" in Japan, I felt at home.

How to keep your heart
something for a lifetime ...
long conversations.

If you buy a front loader washer and dryer

!±8± If you buy a front loader washer and dryer

He who wants to buy a washing machine, if the type of model they want before considering a purchase. There are basically two types, ie, front loader washing machines and top loading washing machine. The main difference between the two models is the way in which the laundry is put into it.

As the name suggests, requires a high loading washing machine to be placed on the top above a hinged lid. The tank was designed to be waterproof lined up horizontally, with one devicecalled an agitator in the center built. The mixer is responsible for the turbulence around the clothes in water that has mixed the detergent and, optionally, fabric softener. On the other hand, a front loader washing machine clothing required by a hinged lid should be placed. This model comes without an agitator. Paddles mounted on the side, and gravity is used to turn the laundry. The front door, once closed, it remains mechanically locked to theComplete car wash cycle.

These days, many people prefer a washer and dryer combo to have. This innovation allows a person more clothes in less time and with little effort as possible to do. This is because a washer dryer combination washes, rinses and dries laundry more efficiently. The built-in centrifugal water automatically drains and spins the clothes to air them, which makes them practically be dry before hanging.

In addition to saving timeand cost savings, ventless washer dryer combo room. This is actually the best choice for those who have relatively small service, or laundry areas. The compact design allows a house to do laundry efficiently, without having to worry about space and other issues related to space. Some users report that these units have a lot of vibration, and since they are 110 volts are exclusively designed then it can not produce a high heat for drying. So it may be longer drying timesthan with a standard air dryer.

A front loader washing machine and dryer have many advantages over their counterparts of high load. First, a top-load washer and dryer, only a certain amount of wear on the clothes because of the central agitator, which eats memory. On the other hand, offers more model loader washing (and drying) the ability, because there is no function mixer allows more space inside the machine. This allows the bath landscape (or drum, is better known asclothing known to hold in some countries) at least 20 to 30 percent more in a single wash (and dry). Stackable washer-dryer may not be necessary. Consumers do not, the greater the savings in their bills and water. The lack of a central agitator makes the front loader washing machine and dryer on delicate clothes so not always too tight and knotted.

But the most important prize in a front loader washer and dryer combo featuresits ability to conserve water. The front-loading model used to water a huge 60 percent less than top-loading model, therefore, consumes less energy, so that more savings in electricity costs. When the water reserves, which is one of the biggest environmental problems of today, his priority, then a front loader washing machine dryer is the way to go.

Be aware that you must be the recommended detergent for high efficiency and much less than normal detergent in an insertFront loader washing machine, or you will be blessed with a lot of foam around the laundry room.

Bidet - The Japanese Super-Toilet Rise to power

!±8± Bidet - The Japanese Super-Toilet Rise to power

Most western bathroom, in addition to lacking a bidet toilet, also lack an outlet near the toilet, something that people in Japan, where central heating is rare, eager to install, in case of washing with the rear seat-warmer Bidet Shower WC-were introduced.

But after designing a pair of burglaries in the United States with the most modern home, especially after the advent of low-flow toilets in 1990 finally Washlets bidet are available to make an impression.

Please go to the bathroomExperience a real toilet bidet is what most people do. Bidet manufacturers are making some inroads in the U.S. with more standard models of toilets and bidets, is introduced in particular with the toilet seat bidet in the last ten years, continues the bidet toilet combination with American culture to penetrate. The headquarters of the United States and sales bidet bidet assembly have increased more than 7,000 units per month this year from 1,500 in 2005. The fashion bidet toilet U.S. market is the same as what was to be seen inJapan was published in 1990, not long after the first high-tech bidet toilet. Since then, the markets not only for the combo toilet bidet germinated, but also a shower and bidet bidet hand.

But the marketing of the bidet seat is not paid yet. Building showrooms bidet toilet seat is expensive, and some analysts have estimated that this year will be the year in which bidet taps, bidet seats, bidet shower toilet and bidet are making their names.

Some analysts gloat that the cultural barrierappears to be greater transparency in the U.S. than the European market, where bidet toilets are a few to sell and sell less bidet toilet seats very year.

Some analysts speculate that the Europeans are no longer interested in the bidet in the bathroom, because they are culturally connected to their old style bidets and plumbing evil and sanitation for generations. But everyone agrees that the U.S. has an aggressive health-oriented culture that has consumed the bidet toiletProducts.

Cultural barriers that now seems too hard to break it will break. This includes the European market, where sales are lagging in every 15,000 years Washlets bidet performed only superior to the American consumer. The truth is that just because the Europeans are using the bidet, does not mean that would be more interested. And no one is sure why are not there.
