			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Para aquellos que hayáis venido a Japón alguna vez, estas fotos no os descubrirán nada nuevo. Aquí se emplea mucha mano de obra (en el sentido más literal lo de &#8220;mano&#8221;) para realizar tareas que, en España, desempeñaría una sola persona&#8230; o ninguna.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">For those of you who have been to Japan these pictures won&#8217;t reveal anything new. However, workers here do really give you a hand (and in a very literal sense). They use way more wokers here for something in Spain could be performed by a single person&#8230; o no person at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Para muestra, un par de botones. || <span style="color: #ff0000;">Here are some examples.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">En primer lugar, el omnipresente &#8220;señor indicador luminoso&#8221;, sin el cual sería imposible vadear los peligros que entrañan las obras en las aceras niponas.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In first place the omnipresent &#8220;road indicator glowing man&#8221;, essential to ford the perils of Japanese sidewalks.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2602307400_fd29b50bdf.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">En segundo, un reciente descubrimiento: el &#8220;clan de los limpiadores de quitamiedos&#8221; (que, como los apóstoles, trabajan de 12 en 12).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In second place, a recent descovery: the &#8220;guardrail cleaning clan&#8221; (who, like the Apostles, go in twelves)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3209/2602308238_0430c2ccb9.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2601480825_f317e18633.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">¿Algún parecido?</span> || <span style="color: #ff0000;">Any resemblance?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/fragglepics/toys_doozers_windup.jpg" alt="" width="463" height="129" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Once again, I&#8217;ve been &#8220;run by the bull&#8221; (Spanish expression meaning you&#8217;ve run out of time)&#8230; again, and I haven&#8217;t updated this blog for almost one month. Shame on me!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The other day I was thinking about this &#8211;it&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t have anything to write about (because I certaintly have; loads of anecdotes and random thoughts cross my path every day), it&#8217;s just that I don&#8217;t spend much time in front of the computer&#8230; rather, in front of my computer at home&#8230; rather, in front of my computer at home doing something other than watching TV series. Because I think that keeping up with X series (Lost, 24, Gossip Girl, Battlestar Galactica and Gokusen) cannot be healthy&#8230; but I manage to keep up with my social life too. Something must be missing&#8230; sleep, maybe?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;You know you love me. XOXO&#8221;</span></p>

Para que veáis que si no he escrito antes ha sido por falta de tiempo, os pongo unas fotos de lo que he estado haciendo estos 20 días. No se puede apreciar plenamente el ajetreo de mis días porque todas (menos la de la excursión a Kamakura) son &#8220;fotos nocturnas&#8221;&#8230; ¡pero pensad que son todas de días diferentes!</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#ff0000">Today, 20 days later, I&#8217;ve decided  to finish what I started. If I haven&#8217;t written before it is because I didn&#8217;t have any time&#8230; and I&#8217;ll publish here some pics so that you can check what I&#8217;ve been up to these last 20 days. You cannot grasp the whole bustle because all of them (except for the one in Kamakura) are &#8220;night pictures&#8221;&#8230; but bear in mind that they are all taken in different days!</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">Como ya digo, estas fotos son &#8220;nocturnas&#8221;, pero no os penséis que soy un frívolo y que lo único que hago es pasármelo bien <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; También tengo compromisos serios, como &#8220;estudiar&#8221; por las mañanas en la academia e ir a clases de japonés por la tarde (con unos escasos 30 minutos entre medias para comer), asistir a las celebraciones relacionadas con mi futuro trabajo, hacer los deberes, estudiar para un examen (que conseguí aprobar&#8230; con una preparación &#8220;ligeramente inexistente&#8221;)&#8230; y BUSCAR PISO (¡que me mudo en un mes y esto se ha convertido en el centro de nuestras vidas ahora mismo!). </font></p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">En un arranque de valor, he decido irme este fin de semana (tenemos puente) a Fukuoka con Marta, a ver a mis amiguitos, desconectar de Tokio y a comer comida de la buena. <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Espero que las fotos y las historias de Kyushu no se hagan tanto de rogar&#8230; pero no prometo nada.</font></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#ff0000">Out of courage, I decided to spend the weekend (we have a long weekend) in Fukuoka with Marta, to see my friends there, disconnect from Tokyo and eat great food! <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  However, I hope not the pics and the stories from Kyushu won&#8217;t take that long&#8230; but I cannot promise! </font></p>

</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><font color="#0000ff">¡¡A partir de octubre estaré en TOKIO!!</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">Seré el nuevo (y primer) becario de Industrias Culturales de la Oficina Comercial de España en la capital del país del sol naciente y, aunque no sé exactamente en qué consistirá mi labor allí, ¡tengo muy claro que van a ser unos 15 meses a-lu-ci-nan-tes! </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">Por descontado que el zulillo de 25 metros cuadrados que será mi casa durante ese tiempo (¡tengo que empezar a buscar piso!) está a la completa disposición de todos mis amiguitos.</font></p>

<hr size="2" width="100%" />
<p align="justify"><font color="#ff0000">I hereby announce (although at the moment it&#8217;s just &#8220;temporary&#8221; and we&#8217;ll get the official lists in one week) that:</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#ff0000">I will be the new (and first) intern in charge of the Spanish Cultural Industries working for the Spanish Trade Office in the capital city of &#8220;the country of the rising sun&#8221;. I&#8217;m not too sure of what my tasks there will be, but I&#8217;m positive that those 15 months there are going to be just greeeeat!!</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#ff0000">Needless to say that I&#8217;d be more than happy to welcome my friends in the tiny 25 sqm hole I&#8217;m going to live in (I have to start searching for an apartment!!)&#8230; &#8220;Mi casa es tu casa!&#8221;</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">La chica que está entre Woobin y Yasumi, cuyo nombre ignoro, es la nueva inquilina (taiwanesa, creo) de mi la habitación 207 de la residencia internacional de estudiantes de Ijiri, Fukuoka. Pobrecilla: creo que el fantasma del último chico que vivió allí se le seguirá apareciendo todas las noches de películas o fiestas varias. <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#cc0000">The girl standing between Woobin and Yasumi, whose name  I don&#8217;t know, is the new (Taiwanese, I&#8217;ve been told) inhabitant of room 207 of Ijiri&#8217;s International Dormitory in Fukuoka. Poor her &#8211;I think the ghost of the last guy who was living there will haunt the room whenever they have movie-night or party at Ijiri. <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" color="#0000ff">Bueno, pues ya estoy de vuelta en Fukuoka. No sé qué ha pasado esta vez, pero, tanto el viaje de ida como el de vuelta han sido ligeramente accidentados. De regreso tuve problemas ya desde Barajas, donde no podían emitir mis tarjetas de embarque, “tuve que” perder mi vuelo a Londres y coger el siguiente para que se solucionara… pero no. Al llegar a Londres, también “tuve que” perder mi vuelo a Hong Kong y tomar el siguiente, con lo que, cuando llegué allí, el vuelo diario a Fukuoka acababa de salir y tuve que esperar todo un día en Hong Kong. No obstante, la espera no fue tan mala y durante esas 24 horas me harté de comer y nadar en el hotel.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000ff"><br />
</font><font face="Times New Roman" /><font size="2" color="#0000ff">Ya en Fukuoka, una de cal y otra de arena: muy contento de estar en casa (es curioso, pero me sentía menos raro en las calles de aquí que en Madrid) y de ver a mis amigos otra vez, pero nada satisfecho con el calor húmedo brutal que está haciendo, las cigarras (si no vivís aquí ni os lo podéis imaginar; ¡un ruido brutal durante toda la noche y parte del día! Parece como si alguien estuviera regando el jardín con un aspersor… pero a lo bestia.) y, sobre todo, ELLA. Hay historias que contar desde el momento en que nos reencontramos, pero lo más destacable es cómo rechazó los regalos que le envió mi madre (algo a lo que yo me opuse; pero bueno) diciendo que «Ella tenía muchas cosas en casa y que se los diera a otra persona, a alguien que los necesitara/quisiera.» Muy fuerte.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#0000ff" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font size="2"> </font><font face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-GB"><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" color="#a10606" /><font size="2">So I am back in Fukuoka. I don’t know what happened this time, but on my journey to Spain as well as on my way back to Japan I experienced several complications. This time, the problems began right in Madrid Airport, where they couldn’t issue my boarding cards and I “had to” miss my flight to London and take the next one to fix it… although it didn’t work. In London, I also “hado to” miss my flight to Hong Kong so by the time I arrived there I had also missed the daily flight to Fukuoka. In short, I had to wait 24 hours in Hong Kong. However, the waiting time wasn’t that bad I ate a lot and swam in the hotel.<br />

<p align="justify"><span lang="EN-GB"><font face="Times New Roman"></font><font face="Times New Roman" color="#a10606"><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" /><font face="Times New Roman" color="#a10606" /><font face="Times New Roman" color="#a10606" /><font face="Times New Roman" /></font><font face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman" /></font><font size="2" color="#a10606">Once in Fukuoka, six of one and half a dozen of the other. I was very happy to be back home (it is pretty funny that I felt less strange in the streets here than in Madrid) and meet my friends, but not that happy with this disgusting humid heat, the cicadas (you cannot imagine if you don’t live here; such a terrible noise all night long and during most of the day! As if someone were watering the garden with a sprinkler… but way stronger) and, especially, with HER. There are many stories even from the moment the met again, but the most remarkable one is when I offered here the presents my mother sent her (I didn’t want to, but my mother insisted) and she rejected them saying “She had many things at home so I should give them to another person, someone who needs/wants them.” Unbelievable.</font><br />

<p align="justify"><font color="#0000ff">&#8230; yo me terminé mis últimos bombones ayer (no podía esperar; el chocolate es superior a mí) y aún no sé quién me mandó el paquete a casa!! <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#990000">Happy Valentine!!</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#990000">In Japan, Valentine&#8217;s is high season for chocolate companies. If a Japanese girl likes a boy, since Japanese people are so shy (ha!), she&#8217;ll make sure that he receives some chocolates as a present along with (this is optional) a letter</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#990000">&#8230; yesterday I finished the chocolates I received (I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer; chocolate is just too much for me) and still don&#8217;t know who sent that package to my place!! <img src='http://alexintheworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>
