Perhaps he said, "ほしょうにん."

I think it fits the context of the dialogue. However, I was unable to see your subtitles and my skill with the language has declined somewhat.

Hello Gakuranman, you're everywhere. I did not make it to Yakushima during my vacation to Japan this time around... going to try next time.

Sometimes a "bad" event can lead to greater things in life.

Wow. You are far more on the ball than I, Emily. What can I say? Ha ha. I'll

Awesome! I'm really glad that you were able to get some use out of my video.
Thanks for leaving such an encouraging comment. Where are you studying, by
the way? Hope you're enjoying it! I loved my time as a student here.

I'm at work and not supposed to be doing this, but I noticed that your profile still says that you're 25. We're 26 now... ;o)

Hello!

My friend and I are also in Japan--studying abroad, in fact. We both have been craving tacos for the last 11 weeks, and finally, after coming upon your video, have been able to make some tortillas (that is the only thing we've been lacking)!

Your video is very well done and highly entertaining. We're both a particular fan of the biscuit rant. Thank you so much for making this video.

We dedicate our tacos to you!

Signed,
Kay and Rinne

Wow, amazing. Who knew it would take a bump in the road like that to hop on a bike (there's a joke in that somewhere) :D

But it really is an amazing story.

I know its probably lame...and I don't even know if you are going to see this but, I've been reading through every page of your blog. First, you write some good stuff. Second, and you probably know this now, I think the "X2" one of the students wrote was a emoticon.

Thanks for writing this blog!

Re: Cherry Blossom Viewing

I love cherry blossoms, they are pretty and gorgeous...even meaningful if you trace back the symbols associated with it. I wish I could go to Japan to experience hanami.

This is a great article, and what a great encounter! I can't believe that guy is actually going to cycle the whole of Japan - I'd be dead by the end of street! Shame on the website though, would have been great to see his progress, but then I guess that's a product of not having a job, ne!

It's great to hear about someone who takes a could-be negative event and turns it into a positive experience.

kainoa — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:09:58 -0000

I think lowell is right, copying content is stealing content. Normally you ask someone if you can use their content and get permission to do so. With bloggers IMHO, they "comment" on content and that is gives them the right to copy (ala Japanprobe) without asking permission (like they are journalists). If as a blogger you have "original content" you created the video, photos, text etc. you don't want other people to profit (like those Jams.tv, like Japanprobe). It's all so blurred with "new media"

Cool! I am trying to build up the confidence to strike up conversations with strangers. Looking for a talking point is great way! Did you catch my post about Japanese Interior Designs? I had a little story of my own to tell recently ^^

Jonadab — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:54:27 -0000

Yeah.

The time I was fired, I took three months off deliberately. I didn't bicycle around the country, but I took some much needed time off before I went and started looking for a job. (I could afford to. I'd been working so much overtime, I had three paychecks I hadn't even taken to the bank yet. Of course, that was in the late nineties, so I didn't expect any great difficulty in getting another job once I did start looking.)

That is so creepy and weird, because I said almost exactly the same thing!
