I do remember that you like winter sports! I grew up in places that never snowed.... so it is something I have to get into. プチクレア> Eek.... Technically speaking, he can't enter clubs/bars yet, I suppose. But on the positive side, at age 80, he can claim that he is in his early 20's. ☆YUKA☆> 北京オリンピック、楽しみですね。最近北京に行った友達が、「あそこらへんは工事が盛んで、数年前とまったく変わっていた」とぼやいていました。後、もう少しで開催されますね。 maxiewawa＞ That is totally understandable. Feb-ru-ary. I had difficulties with "disappointing" and "disappear" as a child. Emi> へー、英語のタイトルはそうだったんですか～。「時をかける少女」は何回も映画化されて、日本人は本当に好きな作品ですよね。 Leapはカエルとか、Javizyさんが説明したように、「ピョンと飛ぶ」と言いたい時に使えます。ちなみに"leapfrog"は「馬とび」という意味です。 Javizy> Thanks for the explanation.　説明ありがとうございました！ ターミネータ・・・笑。 You would make a cool English teacher, no honestly.

Now that they're holding it two years apart from each other, it's become confusing... Like this year is the year for the summer Olympics. I guess it's the year that coincides with leap year. But I'm more interested in the winter Olympics, so my focus is on 2010. Sometimes I wonder if leap year is 2008 or 2010...hmmm Thank goodness my birthday is not on Feb. 29...
