Japanese cash makes you feel like a baller.
(This is about 100 NZD or so and probably not enough for a good meal out)

GOPRO FOUND AT OKINAWA!

Have you heard of someone loosing his/her GoPro at Okinawa?

I found a GoPro at an Okinawa beach. It contains diving videos. I will share the videos with the owner.

@rmx vi um dia desses que cada vez mais termas japonesas estão entendendo que tatuados ocidentais não são necessariamente da yakuza, e algumas até disponibilizam adesivos para os próprios hóspedes esconderem suas tatuagens (pois os frequentadores locais ainda têm preconceitos). Mas já existem termas que permitem tatuados e pronto - só tem que catalogar onde estão.

Ok if everything goes well I will be in #japan in mid November. I will be around #tokyo and #hakata for sure but also willing to go to other places. If you know any #java or #opensource group that can host me for a talk in English, please let me know. #nihon #日本

If you and your friends know #Filipino and #Nihongo (#Japanese) and you're in a conversation wherein the use of "baka" fits well, you have to pause and think.

* In Nihongo, "baka" by itself means "stupid" or "idiot".
* In Filipino, "baka" can mean (1) maybe; or (2) cow.

Normally, the trick is in the pronunciation.

"Baka" in Japanese is slow, "ba-ka". This same pronunciation means "cow" in Filipino.

"Baka" in Filipino that means "maybe" is fast, "baka".

Another way to explain it.
"Baka" in Japanese is pronounced straight. No stress.

"Baka" (cow) in Filipino has a stress in the first "a" vowel. It's like "baa-ka".

"Baka" (maybe) in Filipino, there is an abrupt stop at the second "a", and a soft stress as well.

However, recently, the "baka" (maybe) in Filipino has changed pronunciation, at least, the way the new generation are doing it.

How do they pronounce it today? Like the Nihongo "baka".

So, you end up pausing to think if the person meant the Nihongo (stupid) or the Filipino (maybe) meaning.

Of course, a conversation where both meanings of "baka" in these two #languages fits well as a response is not common but not rare. If you're with friends who understands both Filipino and Japanese this situation might come up once in a while.

Cool, eh?

#BAKA!
