I always see a number of people reading actual books on the metro in DC and Chicago, too. Commuting in cars makes it harder to indulge in a good book, which I guess is why audiobooks are so popular in the states.<br /><br />Oh starting in a class midway is rough! When I started hula, my class was practicing for their annual show and all I could do was try to keep up with the steps. Pretty sad and slightly boring...but looking back it was definitely worth sticking it out! Thank you for the encouragement! :DKaorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495830655043821533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319339803753927098.post-9071521687188389102015-02-06T13:06:20.794+09:002015-02-06T13:06:20.794+09:00I started to write a long comment about the How to...I started to write a long comment about the <i>How to Fall in Love</i> article but it seemed too long and boring so I used the deleted comment as the germ for my own post.

There are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nihongo-Pera-Japanese-Onomatopoeia-Language/dp/0804818908#" rel="nofollow">books</a> also if anyone reading this comment (fat chance) is interested in the richness of Japanese onomatopoeia. <br /><br />Wow! There is actually a place in the U.S.A. where literate people read books on public transportation during commutes. I thought, in my experience, that activity was relegated to Japan and England. I have renewed faith in humanity.<br /><br />“How to Fall in Love” is fascinating. I wonder what percentage of people will go on to the 37th question. I can see a new eHarmony or Match.com that will truly deliver the goods in just a few minutes and one meeting. I wish I had seen this in time to patent, copyright, or trademark the name of a specialty business doing this. There was a time when I would be interested in such a service but now, at my advanced age, I can imagine what I would see of <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DF_bkCdF5b0/Ssdv046dflI/AAAAAAAABEE/Es1vgYv5KEE/s400/escher-eye.jpg" rel="nofollow">my future with her reflected back to me in her eyes</a>.<br /><br /><br />Appropriate to a swimming class, I find that getting in over one’s head is a good (or only) way to learn something new. But that also necessitates humility (as in being humble) and persistence.<br /><br />I started something physical (not my forte) not long ago and entered the class midway, after the others had already covered something like 6 months of material/movements. It means I am the least adept person in the class. I am trying to hang in there but even the teacher sticks it to me. (I did ask him before taking the class if it would be OK to do so.) So I think I can appreciate some of the things you are bringing upon yourself and I have a dim idea how much you will learn and experience. Hang in there! Don’t give up, no matter what!Tall Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130518604439054014noreply@blogger.com
