Funny Proverb

Friday, December seventh, two thousand and seven

An interesting saying made me laugh the other day. That was said by Anton Chekhov, a Russian author.

"If you are afraid of loneliness do not marry."


Haha-! Could be true. That's exactly why I often go out to get together with my friends, including young ladies and native English speakers. :p
Speaking of get-together, we are having the year-end party(bounenkai) on the fifteenth at the Japanese style bar(izakaya) managed by my second cousin in Sennan city actually. I invited some friends, including native English speakers and Japanese nice ladies to the party. :D In Japan, it's kind of tradition to have bounenkai in December in order to forget all bad things they had that year and think about happy things they will be able to have next year. That's why the kanji of "bounenkai" consists of "to forget", "year", and "party." Anyway, as of now, three Americans, two Australians, one New Zealander and one British person are coming to the party. Let me paint the town red with the crazy guys. :D

先日、面白い格言を見て、笑ってしまった。その格言は、ロシア人の作家アントン・チェーホフが言ったもので・・・・

『孤独が恐ろしかったら、結婚するな。』


ぎゃははははははは _(_ _)ノ彡☆ばんばん! そうかもしれない。だから、ワシって、しばしば友達と集まるために外出するんやね、もちろん、若い女性と英語のネイティヴスピーカー達と一緒に。(^_^;
集まると言えば、15日に、私のふた従兄弟が泉南市で経営している居酒屋で忘年会をする予定です。日本では、12月に忘年会をするのは、ちょっとした伝統みたいなもんです。その目的は、その年にあった悪い事全てを忘れて、新年には楽しい事があるように祈ろう、ということ。だから、『忘年会』という漢字は、『忘れる』『年』『会』という漢字で構成されているのですね。とにかく、今のところ、3人のアメリカ人、2人のオーストラリア人、ニュージーランド人1人、イギリス人1人がパーティに来てくれる予定です。面白い友人達と、大いに盛り上がろうっと!(^^♪
