It makes me uncomfortable, because you know; showing just a small part of his/her face or body seems that it is not treated as a human being. Even in a picture, a person has emotion like feeling happiness or anger. So at least whole of the face should be included in a photo. Did one who put the photo here think it would be a good advertisement? </left> <br><br><br> <center> <img src="09/04.JPG" width="360" height="270" alt="Inside the package of Ramen which was imported from China"> </center> <br> <left> When I opened the package of Ramen, I again found three little things which were soup and toppings. Though I just skip the process that I made the noodle, I put the ramen more than three minutes in boiled water.</left> <br><br><br> <center> <img src="09/05.JPG" width="360" height="270" alt="Ramen with Red Soup"> </center> <br> <left> Anyway this is my supper tonight, ramen, Iyokan orange, and Shochu(spirits) Nikaido. Don't say the noodles seem like worms. <br><br> By the way, enjoy korea is saying that they are going to close their service on 20th of this month. The site is quite amazing message boards that translate automatically between Korean and Japanese. I think the site has already done a good job to facilitate exchanges between two countries. And I should admit that the news makes me sad a little. In these five years, I always read so many threads in their message board like everyday. Since they renewed the site in the end of the last year, I have hardly visited the site. It's sure that the news surprised me, but somehow I understand why they are closing the service. To me, recent renewal seemed just a downsizing which makes me think the site owner has a problem to continue the service. And I have spent so many, frankly, a huge hours to just read this and that threads in the site since I found that interesting site five years ago. It was my fun but it has taken my time too much. Maybe it is a good time to say good-bye to enjoy korea. I should not waste my time for it no more. </left> <br><br><br> <!--  % % THE END OF WRITING PART  % % --> </font face> </font color> </span> <a href="07.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/previous.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to previous page"> </a> <a href="11.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/next.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to next page"> </a> <a href="#toptop"> <img src="../../pic/top.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to the top of current page"> </a> <a href="../../nikki.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/diary.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to next page"> </a> </td> <td width="120" valign="top" cellpadding="10" bgcolor="#D6EAFF"> <span style="font-size: 9pt;"> <font color="#E01170"> <b> CHAPTER II RENUNCIATION OF WAR <br> Article 9. <br> </b> </font color> </span> <a href="../../article9_Japan_constitution.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/japan_peace.JPG" width="100" height="147" alt="Do not go to war.
