  Is 'the area' meant 'Tsukuba'? or Japan?

  First, many Japanese go to the temples (they will hit the big
bell as 'JOYA NO KANE'), or stay in their home. And the young generation
like graduate students, will go to everywhere they want to go.

  Typically, many Japanese have SOBA(Japanese Noodle) on new year's eve.
I don't know why, but I always have, too.

  As to me, Christians (I am Catholic) do so. But I have not heard that
people counts the seconds down, on Christmas eve :-).

#Yes, I'm catholic and japanese, so have SOBA.

  That's exactly true. The traffic to Tsukuba-san-Jinja shrine will
mostly stop, because too many cars are filled on the road. Since I have
been there once, I had never want to go there on the NYE. On the night,
people walk faster than automobiles. I would never suppose you to go by
car. It would be crowded from the evening.

  More popular place to see the first sunrise is KUJU-KURIHAMA in
Chiba-pref, or many other seafront area of Ibaraki-Pref. Yes, as you
guess, most popular place will be crowded.

anything of interest in the city?

if it helps any, we are tsukuba based.

You might want to read a book called "The Modern Japanese Myth" about
why the Japanese focus on their language and culture to the extent
that it is both different and special.  Though I have only started reading
it (in my spare time when I get to the Osaka International House library),
I have to say that it is particularly interesting because the author 
tries to help the world understand why this myth (the Japanese fascination 
with  their own language and culture) is being perpetuated.

I can laugh with many people about some of the "myths" perpetuated by
some light headed politicians, etc..

But, I can't laugh about one thing.

As t_yamasi@hoffman.cc.sophia.ac.jp pointed out, post harvest
pesticide, fungicide, etc.. are used in much higher concentrated level
in U.S.A. (I don't know much about other countries, but Canada
probably has similar usage pattern.). US FDA (or some such agency)
safety regulation permits much higher residue of such chemicals in
grains including rice. This worries me a lot. If they stick to the 
usage level permitted in Japan, it would be fine with me.

If you live near an international harbour, you probably already know
the fumigation process.  Grains and agricultural product in general go
through fumigation when these produce are stored in cargo bay of boats
before the boats leave the harbor.  Typically, the cargo bay is closed
or covered by canvas and chemicals usually in the form of fog, or mist
[that is where the name, fumigation, comes] are pumped into the cargo
bay.  The chemicals are used to kill insects, fungus, even mice!,
etc.. and quite poisonous. Usually the boat is deserted during the
process.  

(BTW, However some animals do seem to survive! My home town in
Shizuoka-ken has a case of "Cobra"-like snake being spotted. The
theory is the funny shaped snake was resting on the piece of lumber
and somehow didn't get killed during fumigation, and followed the
shipment of lumber from South East Asia to my home town's harbor.
From there, it followed the lumber that was placed on the land to dry.
When somebody notified the spotting of the snake, there was great
man-hunt, "snake-hunt", but it was never spotted again, and presumed
dead after a winter.)

Many post harvest chemicals used today are said to decompose after
some time, but what worries me is that Japanese Ministry of
Agriculture and Fishery regulation calls for rather low residue of
such chemicals (especially for suspected carcinogens) while the US
regulation permits much higher residue of the same chemical.  The
concentration is measured when the grains reach the end customer after
certain days. I have no idea why such high residue is allowed in
U.S.A. Maybe pressure from chemical companies?

Aside from these chemicals that would be present in the rice shipped
to Japan from, say, U.S.A., I have no problem eating such rice.
But this chemical stuff is a big worry at least to me.

Good idea; or try fj.wanted for TV/VCR/Radio with the multiplex ability.

Many people select one of the two choices:
either purchase a new VCR/Radio with the ability
or find a friend who are throwing away his VCR/Radio with the ability.

In fact, the turning circuit in my TV had broken,
but I dare not fix it; just connected it to a VCR.
This simple solution is nice and neat.

Perhaps there is something to what you say, but what do you make of

There are some stereos with the  capability to receive TV-subchannels.
If you're  going to buy a  stereo anyway, check for  this  option.  It
might be  indicated by SUB, and,   furthermore, your  stereo should be
able to receive all VHF/UHF frequencies (not just TV channel  1-3). In
case the TV  stations in questions  are broadcasted by cable only, you
will have to connect the stereo to your antenna outlet.

Hope that helps,

Thomas

Many thanks for the informative articles and messages I've got so
far.  They all helped.  Suggested solutions include:

        (a) get a receiver which receives bilingual TV signals;

        (b) get a VCR with a tuner which receives bilingual TV
            signals;

        (c) get a magic box that I mentioned, although such boxes
            may not be available nowadays; and

	(d) junk my TV and get a Japanese one.

I do have a VCR but, like my TV, I also got it in the US.  Seems
like (a) is the only option open (and reasonable) to me.

Well, thanks again.

I don't understand your intention to correct the Romanized
spelling.  The name of the place which is called by people 
who live there is sometimes different from the name of the
place which is called by people who don't live there.
I call $BKL3$F;(J HOKKAIDOU, and at least my ATOK7(kanji-FEP) 
never gives us "$BKL3$F;(J" by typing HOKKAIDO.  Who can tell 
it is right or it is wrong about this case?  I think his
spelling was appropriate for romanizing $BKL3$F;(J.

We pronounce $BKL5~(J peking, and sometimes write $BKL5~(J as $B%Z%-%s(J.
According to your opinion, we have to pronouce it like beijing

Just out of curiousity, does your TV match with the Japanese TV
broadcast frequency?  I beileve that the TV frequencies between U.S. 
and Japan is somewhat different.  If that is the case, you'd need a
tuner with Japanese frequency coverage, anyway.

  ||  Wonder if there exists a magic
  ||box that gives me the  aforementioned  capability.   If  so,  how
  ||much?  Where can I find one?  Thanks in advance for the info.

As I said above, look for a VCR with bilingual (it usually comes with
stereo sound, also) tuner on it.  Either Akihabara or Shinjuku is a
good starting point when looking for such goods.

Hope it helps.

P.S. It looks like this is my first posting to this NewsGroup :-).

	Claude, the right is SE Palmeiras (sem querer ser chato :-) )

	I would say: forget it! Sao Paulo has shown it is one of the
	best teams in the world. The first half was an even match and
	very defensive game. But in the second half, Sao Paulo was far
	better than Barcelona and showed the true brazilian soccer class.
	Miller and Cafu were a nightmare to the Spanish defense and a
	fair result would be 4 x 1. Miller and Cafu missed three or four
	good chances and the Spanish keeper had a pretty hard job. Rai
	(who is Socrates' brother) is one of the best players of Brazil
	and scored a very nice goal in the second half. He also got
	the MVP prize and is going back to Brazil with a Toyota Land
	Cruiser (Not bad !). I am also for Palmeiras, but I am almost
	sure we will not have any chances. Anyway, we can always say
	that we lost to the world champion :-).
