Early pleasant summer

Sun shines so pleasantly and birds are singing from 3 AM in the morning so happily.The sun stays till late at night while peoples are taking a walk or sitting and chatting outside balcony with a glass of wine.This nice early summer leads all inhabitants in Stockholm rather relaxed and brings happiness, just because of sun.Stockholm looks so different from that in dark winter.Yn in winter and Yang in summer, plus minus zero.We see many swedes look rather red face due to sun burns.No one put on hats , neither umbrella just like many of Japanese ladies do in Japan during summer.Here I have no courage to carry and use my umbrella since swedes looked at me strangely whenever I used umbrella at first summer and even some talked to me "Excuse me, it is not raining now!hahahahaha."
, so now I do not use anymore.If any Japanese girl wear sunglass and mask with hat and umbrella, swedes may feel strange and certainly you show that you are non-swedish and have different code loudly.

Some friends from asians told me "you know in my country , rich are whiter since they do not have to wait for bus under the sun or they do not have to work under strong sunshines generation to generations, but here in Europe and sweden, rich can fly to the warm resort and can stay under the sun, so darker is richer generally speakiing.

She added "I do not understand many swedish come to my country they pick up most ugly women from my country (sorry to say she added) and my husband always turns neck and say one word "nobody want to marry them in my country but whyEuroean love them?different taste?)but you know Japanese men always pick up the most beautiful girls.from my country,They know how to choose pretty ladies."

I heard her comment and feel like I have ever heard similar comment.We japanese men know asian beauty as well as korean and chinese.Though even go-go dancing girls in Thailand, mostly those who are picked up by European at bars are not asian mens' favorate.Darker , skinny and with more wild hungry face future.On the contrary rich thai men preffer lighter whiter skin, mild soft cute face from changmai.It is so clear to see girls' diversity in Bangkok, Karaoke bar for Japanese businessmen always have so called pretty cute asian girlswith lighter skin , but dansing go-go bar with snakes have darker skin , skinny and wild face(more masculine face with high cheak bone and bigger round nose are favored by american or european.I analize this as some swedish love different type of women and in fact for them all asian seem to look same except for some who have lived in asia.)IT is very difficult to determine the beauty .Although I totally agree a Japanese woman who was selected as a champion of world beauty contest.Recently the french trainer published her essay in Japanese and I had a read at a book store in Tokyo recently.What she tried to say is that all women any time in a day should not forget we are seen and we should not forget as we are woman.It is true in any age, we should not make man disappointed .

In Sweden there is a discussion of that outside is important as inside?Probably at school , discussion want to be the result asthat inside is more important than outside.Though economical news paper's article in Sweden gives a comment to jobseeker "We care for peoples' outside and outfit especially on the ocasion of job-interview.Nowdays worker require more better looking and we do not want to employee tattoopeopels in officially.We certainly do not recommend our company's worker to have tatoo on their hands."Bank is service business , but TV chef and cook have tattoo and famous young fasioin designer have tatto on her hands(a bit strange to me!!)in Sweden.Artists and TV star cook might be allowed to have tattoo?

Swedish summer produces local strawberries and that turns to be beautiful summer cake so called..Summer strawberry cake with fresh cream.NOramlly peoples make at home using fresh strawberry, not buying at cake shop.

I just wonder why we Japanese have habits eating strawberry cake on Christmas.Probably strawberry color 's red and white cream gives Christmas imporession the same as Santa's red and white , so it beacame popular among Japanese.Most Japanese may eat Christams strawberry (Swedish summer tarte)cake on 24th December.Most of them are sold at cake shop or bakery, even peples prebooking the cake, the reason why is that it just because it was our custome and recent tradition after the war.I do not know when it started and how and who did first.Eating strawberry fresh cream (or butter cream )cake on Christmas is widely recognized as Japanese way of celebration of Christmas. I see swedish traditional summer cake (strawberry cake) with a little swedish national flag, on top, besides of white margarette flowers, my brain computer accept two strawberry cakes's shape, one is japanese christams cake and other is swedish summer cake.In fact Swedish way is more natural because in the summer , in the garden there are full of strawberry, they use local fresh ones.On the contrary, in Japan we use strawberry in the warm house or imported from the other side of the world in December.

This weekend on Thursday night I watched an interesting Korean Movie on TV channel 24.38degrees.NOrth korean patrolling army and south korean patrolling army.Just one line .They are same korean who speaks the same language and same peopels.Just political ideology, the country is devided .The movie show us deep difficutly .As a humanbeing, they are brother, but under ideology or politics, they are enemy.They showed us the reality.There exists the tragedy .Individual good person is always sacrified under ideology or politics or country.Good peopels have to fight and good peoples have to kill enemy or brothers so called.When the movie was over, my tears ran calmly.

It was sad movie and more than tragedy.Korean peoples are warm peoples who have hospitality.They are kind and look after foreigners as real guests.When I travelled to Korea, how warm they were , they trully cared for their friends.We Japanese should not forget asian kindness as Korean still keeps for their guests and friends.I will never forget my korean friends treats when I visited Korea and some other countries where Korean friends welcomed and took care of me while my staying.

Early summer , bright daylight , it was quite strange feeling that korean sounds on TV in Sweden..Once I have heard Korean enka on FM radio Sweden and that korean enka make me feel so nostalgy and feel at home.Korean matters and things make me feel so nostalgy or natukasii in Japanese even when i visited Korea.I still can not figure out why I feel natukashii when I hear korean old popsongs or watch korean movie.

Swedish early summer comes, it would be best for real koeran barbeque with their 3 sauces.Blended salt, lemon , sesami oil , or special soya based sauce.Kimuchi should be served.In sweden What I miss..real koeran barbeque with real kimuchi and kakuteki, chijimi, chige soup and maccori.They make sushi, but they never serve us the real juicy nice beef harami meet or other kroean barbeque here in Sweden strangely.there does not exist Mongolian barbeque except for Sweden in other world, but why in Sweden korean never serve korean barbeque on the table grille, but sushi or tonkatu like Japanese.?

In Sweden.Kimuchi is avairable , This is said among Chinese who have eaten korean barbeque in Beijing.They also say at they miss kroean barbeque here in sweden.we never have the real staffs.I hope anynorth korean or south korean would open Korean barbeque restaurant.in Sweden.The mountain's name will be north origine , but south korean should be very welcomed.Maccori and shoju will be loved by new beginners for korean food eaters in Sweden.Another i, bibinbap , in Sweden nobody knows stone cooked bibimbap.In japanese we say Ishiyaki style.Zen shu style.Just because Swedes have cat toungue?Well, As a japanese I want to eat ishiyaki stone cooked bibimpak.My request to north korean or south korean restaurant owner in japan , please come to Sweden to open korean barbeque house.But not mongolian barbeque cheating restaruant !!
