1.- ¿Do you know MÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]xico?
…as a country or as a city?
I know where it is on a map, but never been there. When I was in the US I was much closer to the great white north. -Parle vous francais?

I think that covers the next few questions...

4.- Can you speak spanish?

'por favor' is the only spanish I know... Try Japanese, then I'll say 'Hai, shaberu!'

5.- Do you have some CD of Spanish music? do you like it?


I have a Japanese friend who I go salsa dancing with. Okinawa has ties to S.America (not Mexico specifically) so there's alot of latin culture here. Have you heard of taco rice?

6.- Have you ever to watched a Mexican Movie? ( I mean with Spanish Dialogs?)
Nope...

7.-Do you like the Mexican Food?
( do you have any preference for example: burritos, Tacos, rice & beans, etc?)

Sadly, I'm allergic to green peppers and hot peppers, chili powder. If you can name a mexican food without those I can eat it, but a plain tortilla with plain beans and cheese is not very nice w/out the spice.

I do like guacamole and drinks made from tequila


9.- Have you ever to sleeped in a hammock?
No.

10.- Have you ever to saw the traditional mexican clothes?

Yes, I particularly like the folk costume where the women wear white lacey baby dresses on their heads. I forget what region that's from though.

11.- Do you to know Cancun Mexico? ( Is a beach)
( here´s the link my friend: )
Sadly no...

Goodness! I missed your first day! Here are a few for you.The theme is (mostly) desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one... and don't worry about the technology to support your choices, that will be taken care of...

1. What would be your five Desert Island CDs? They don't need to come from your own collection. Why would you choose these particular ones?

2. You might also want some reading material. What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?

4. You'll also need food. If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose? Why?

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be? Why?

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?

I would also miss PBS if I no longer lived here.

Ditto America/specifically what state you are from (vermont?)?

What does your perfect day look like?

Describe one thing about your appearance you like and dislike?

Ditto your personality?

Is it annoying I keep using the word ditto because I am too lazy to write out the full question again?
You don't have to answer that one.

SF and fantasy.

2.- Do you collect DVD´s or VHS??,….How many do you have?


DVD.

3.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Male?

I'm not a real celebrity watcher, but I like Zachary Quinto and Hugh Laurie

4.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Female?

Hmmm. don't know...

5.- Have you ever to participated in some Special Event of your favourite artist?

No, but here's where 7 degrees of separtion comes in to play. They filmed a really awful Jim Carey Movie in my hometown a few years back. We knew they were filming on my street because my brother had signe dup to be an extra. they never called him, but... anyways... They were shooting in a red convertible (this is in Me, Myself and Irene). My youngest brother was out running on said street and the motorcade of convertible and camera car ran him off the road.

6.- Have you ever to saw in live to some artist? ( I mean is some restaurant, buying at mall or in some resort?)


Saw Carrie Fisher in NYC. I did front desk work for one of the big museums there.

7.- Do you like to watch the Oscar Awards?


If there is a movie I'm rooting for yes.

8.- Have you ever to participated in a role in a Theather representation? ( maybe just for fun or when you was on School?) …


Not since junior high.

9.- If you could to meet to some artist wich one would be and say us why!...


Can't think of any right now.

10.- Would you like to live next at some artist (? ( I mean for example your neighboor would be a TV anchor or else?)…
…

No, the convertible incident was bad enough.

Favorite/least favorite thing about Japan?

Favorite thing is food, learngin the language or the nice people. Least favorite thing is that its really hard for a single white chick to meet guys here. I don't know if its the language barrier or simply that J-guys ahve the same hangups about dating women who look like they could beat them up, or what. But white guys seem to ahve no problems dating J-girls. Life's not fair!

Ditto America/specifically what state you are from (vermont?)?

Yeah, I'm from VT. I love the people and the atmosphere. I hate the fact that houseing is sooo expensive and there are no jobs.

What does your perfect day look like?

Sleep in (until woken by hungry mews!) shopping, sewing, bikeriding and relaxation...

Describe one thing about your appearance you like and dislike?

I like my hair, and ther fact that my ears are small.

Dislikes, I'm would love smaller thighs, at least ones that don't rub together so I don't have to wear hosiery or bike shorts all the time!

I'm mostly happy about my body but I am not happy with how pop culture treats larger women.

I'll wear almost anything if they'd make it in my size. I'm a little overweight now, but when I was in college I got real trim, which for me is about 170lbs. My ribs showed, but I was still the largest size in the store 12-14! I have to wear a men's watch and shoes, which means there is some truth to being "big boned", not all of us are fat or lazy or geneticly destined to be a size 6 if we had some self-control.

I saw the same thing when I worked in a ladies boutique after college. I am an artist and can size people pretty acurately just by looking, but I learned real quick that you never tell a woman she is larger than a 12 'cause that's where the normal sizes 'end' in American stores. We sold nicer clothes and I'd show them something lovely and they'd say '... when I lose 20lbs'. And then they'd complain that there were no nicer clothes available in their size.


Ditto your personality?

Hmm, I'm too shy.

I'm not really the do crazy things type. I drove myself across country to Guelph Ontario by myself. I thought moving to Japan was pretty crazy too.

2.- Do you have indor plants at home?

Not anymore, aside from cat grass. Aya likes to eat them!

3.- If you can travel in time and to meet to some historycal person WHO would be and Tell us why?...


Hmmm... so many choices... Maybe pharoah Ahkenaten. Just curious if he was really trying to invent monotheism or just politcising or nuts.

4.- If you have the money power to move to some part of the world ( of course with your kittys) wich place would be and why.....

Sendai Japan! Its a beautiful placce just the right size with very few foregigners, which means I have to speak nihongo.

5.- What is the thing that really anoy you on the persons.......( for example: the hypocresy, the envy etc)


Envy and dishonesty.

6.- Are you Religious?


Spritual but no religious in the traditional sense

7.- Favourite Salad?


I had this at an izakaya once. It consisted of a bed of roman lettuce, cold okinawan soba, bacon bits and goma dressing. Yum...

8.- favourite pop soda?


I cannot lie... I am diet coke addict.

9.- Choose one would you prefer to watch Sunrise

Sunset. Not a morning person, that simple.

10.- Do you have a car? wich type is it?....


I have a keijidosha, a subaru Pleo to be exact. Small underpowered car with less than 660cc engine displacement. Low power, good gas milage and fewer fees and taxes to own here in Japan. works jsut fien for island life. although my cabin fan is in process of breaking...-Grrr...

1. Do you cook? Do you like to, or is it a chore?

I like cooking.


2. Do you like to cook with someone else? How well do you share your kitchen?

i live alone, but I used to help out Mom and cook for the family when I lived in the US.

3. What is your favourite thing to prepare?

Cranberry pie. Japanese curry. And these rice/tomatoball things, my family calls them 'mitsubishi balls' even though they are italian not Japanese.i learned how to make them off the Frugal Gourmet when I was in school.

4. What is your favourite dish that someone else prepares for you? Who?

Mom's turkey stuffing and apple pie.

5. Either of those favourites might be a comfort food, or not. What is your favourite comfort food?

Hmmm... diet coke count?

6. What is your favourite celebration food?

Mom's thanksgiving turkey with stuffing...

7. When people come to my table, I always ask first whether there are any allergies/sensitivities/likes/dislikes I should keep in mind. If you came to my home, what would your answer be?

Well, I think I mentioned in an earlier post I can't eat green or chili peppers because of an allergy.

8. Do you consider yourself adventurous where unfamiliar food is concerned?

Hmmm live in Japan, what do you think? Most people who are finicky or only like what they are familiar with don't stay in a foreign country for 3 years, I think.

9. What is your favourite meal of the day?[/quote]

Dinner.
