[Year's End 2018] Chapter 2: First Years
Senri:
Alright! Another turn and it’s the goal! I’ll be taking that star ♪
Takaomi:
Hah?! You’re taking another one…
Senri:
Actually I’m shocked no one else has played “Maruopoly”* before~
Since it’s winter break now of course we all have to go all out with games!
Well, I’m not gonna go easy on you guys just because you’re beginners though ♪
Yuma:
I’m not reaching the goal at all…
In the first place where is the goal anyway…
Yuni:
Japan’s board games are difficult…
Touji:
Gu… As expected the 2 game specialists are strong. Even if our fates are determined at the hand of a dice, the fact that I haven’t won a single match despite going all out… !
Takaomi:
It’s not like I’m gonna go all out for a kid’s game.
Touji:
Hmm? Mochizuki-kun, isn’t that grid the goal?
Yuma:
Eh?
Oh it seems I’ve reached the goal.
Takaomi:
Uwa, for real? tch If that’s the case.
Senri:
Ah! Are you trying to steal my coins?!
Stupid! Meanie! Stop screwing around! Stop it!
Yuni:
Hey, hey, I’ve just arrived at the same grid as Yuma did!
Touji:
Ohh, Bianchi-kun has also reached the goal, hasn’t he?
… Hmm? Nito-kun and Shishimaru-kun are tied for last place.
Yuma:
They’ve got the exact same number of coins too.
Senri & Takaomi:
Say what?!
I definitely don’t want to lose to someone like you!
Yuni:
Those 2 are the most childish…

Niou Masaharu - Character Story Pt 1
The trickster’s true colours
Translation by Meepu.
Niou: ….huh?
Yagyuu, what are you doing? Crouching in a place like this.
Yagyuu: Oh, Niou-kun. Actually, I found a 100 yen coin in front of the vending machine.
Niou: Oh.
Yagyuu: Someone must have dropped it while buying a drink. It might cause inconvenience, so I will go find the person who lost it. So excuse me.
Niou: Isn’t he a strange guy?
Yagyuu: Niou-kun, I’m reporting back. I managed to find the person who dropped the 100 yen coin.
Niou: Oh, you really did that.
Yagyuu: ...hmm? This is… A towel was left in the basket…
Niou: What? First a dropped thing, and now you found a forgotten thing?
Yagyuu: That’s right. But fortunately a name has been written here. I can return it to the owner.
Niou: …
Niou: So, who are you going to the trouble to help this time?
Yagyuu: You seem to have misunderstood. I’m just fixing the order of the books. What do you think, Niou-kun? Aren’t they easier to see like this?
Niou: Aren’t you a gentleman.
Yagyuu: Doing this much is a given. Besides, I aim to do one good deed a day.
Niou: Oh…
Niou: One good deed a day… I don’t know if I’ll be switching with Yagyuu in doubles again. I might also make new discoveries. I should imitate a little…
Kirihara: Uwa!?
Kirihara: A… Niou-senpai! Sorry! For bumping into you…
Niou: Why are you in such a rush?
Kirihara: He’s making me do Zen meditation.
Niou: Sanada is?
Kirihara: I was really just a little bit late for voluntary training with the vice captain… Just five minutes late!? Five minutes! So it’s unreasonable that I have to do one hour of Zen meditation.
Niou: (Sanada...? Wasn’t he looking for Akaya?) I just saw Sanada.
Kirihara: Really?
Niou: If you’re running, I recommend going out.
Kirihara: So the vice captain is inside! You didn’t have to say it like that! Niou-senpai, you saved me!!
Sanada: ...oh, Akaya. So you were here?
Kirihara: Eh, vice captain?
Sanada: Looking for you didn’t take long.
Kirihara: Damn!! I was tricked!!
Niou: Ok. It will do Akaya good, and it was useful for Sanada, too. That’s my one good deed a day. It doesn’t feel all that bad after doing a good thing.
Niou: So, what should I do today?
Cat: Meow
Niou: Hmm?
To second part.

(U.M) Uncle Muzza writes to the bosses of Oz about climate change stuff. Murry Rhodes © 20210908
Dear Prime Minister,
I hope this helps with the U.N pressure on eliminating our fossil fuel industries. Please do follow the science. I’m a student of physics, geology and archaeology having studied these at UWA in Perth. I have a different view of the climate…

Chapter 10.2 is up!
Excerpt:
“What do the Ickhut-uwa say about your hand?” Nothing couldn’t help but ask.
“My hand?” Kartir looked down at his deformed hand with its three small fingers, as if he’d forgotten about it. “Not much. They call me One Hand because they can’t be bothered to learn my name, but that’s rather inoffensive, to be honest. Compared to what the Darwirz would call me, at least.” Kartir paused. “What do they call you?”
“Sarnai doesn’t call me anything. I don’t speak the language.”
Kartir chuckled. “Ah, yes. Right. You should tell him your name. I can help you.”
“I don’t have a name. He can call me whatever he likes.”
“You have a name.”
Nothing shook his head.
Kartir opened his mouth, perhaps to chastise, then shut it. “I suppose it’s your choice then. But if he calls you Whore, don’t complain to me.”
There was no reason Whore had to be any worse than Nothing. Nothing had met whores as a child, and they seemed like a delightful lot, at least when he wasn’t picking pockets or interfering with their business. A whore had once taken pity on him when he’d gotten lost at night, wandering through the narrow, filth-strewn alleys popular for whorehouses. She’d taken his hand and helped him find his way to more familiar territory, pressing a kiss to his cheek and ushering him away with a smile. He’d never known why Darwirz despised whores so much, considering the whorehouses never seemed to lack business. What was the difference between toiling all day for a coin and opening one’s legs for a coin? At least whores got paid. Nothing would much rather be a whore than a slave.

Hi, I'm starting my 2nd year in UWA and was just wondering about your thoughts of the unit FNSC2200: Mysteries of Forensic Science that you did previously. Specifically, the workload, how well the unit was ran and the difficulty of the exam. Thanks for your time!
Hi Anon! Always a pleasure to hear from people interested in doing units I’ve done!
I really enjoyed FNSC2200. I found the content fascinating and a really great introduction to the field that TV shows portray so inaccurately.
The workload: I found the workload quite reasonable. As the lab demonstrator said in the first lab, it’s a stand-alone unit (has no pre-requisites, and is not the pre-rec for anything), so everyone there is interested in forensics for some reason or other. They make it specifically as an elective/broadening unit. All content lectures are online, and there is a 2 hour lab every fortnight (at least there was when I did it two years ago) so it’s easy to fit around your other classes and commitments. There are 6 guest lectures early in semester, in the evening, from currently working or recently retired WAPOL officers. Attendance isn’t compulsory, as these are not assessed. There is (well, was) a group assignment that you have the entire semester to do. My group ended up meeting every week we didn’t have a lab, because we had nothing else on.
Unit running: The unit is split into four modules, with one online quiz per module after its completion. As mentioned above, there are 6 guest lectures from WAPOL officers; these take place in the first module. I found that splitting up the content into the four main areas was extremely useful in focussing my attention. The lecturers are quick to respond to emails, and you can always visit them during their office hours. One of my friends who also took the unit did not like the online lectures, but I didn’t mind them.
Exam: I found the exam quite easy, tbh. If you’ve done the online quizzes and the lab exercises (and why wouldn’t you? They are marked), you will be fine! There’s no extreme study needed, just revision of the concepts introduced throughout the unit. Reviewing notes and/or re-watching the lectures will get you through. They didn’t ask questions on nitty gritty specifics, such as who coined the term “forensic science” and when, but more on the techniques used in the field and why they’re useful and/or important.
Some of the things that I’ve told you just now may be different, due to the Centre of Forensics closing and the staff having to move to the Human Bio building. I don’t know how this will affect the unit. Hopefully not badly.
All the best for your studies in 2017, Anon :)

Kyushu Calling: VOL 1
A Few Words:
As a Westerner living in rural Japan, I’m often asked what the outside world thinks of when they think of this country. I explain that most people – most Americans, at least – picture futuristic Tokyo, or temple-rich Kyoto. Maybe Osaka, maybe Hiroshima. Sites like Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr are full to the brim with Japan’s well-known sights, but for many, the rest of the country remains a mystery. Most people don’t know that you can live on a cow farm and still be a short drive from a beautiful volcano lake, or that surfing is huge on the island’s southeastern coast. They don’t know that 70 percent of Japan is mountainous, which is why the metros are so packed, or that those mountains behold some spectacular views.
I’ve been spending my time in Japan shooting the places most people don’t see -namely, the big island of Kyushu, where I live. I hope to do it some justice in a series of posts. First up: my town, Ebino.
VOLUME I: Ebino
Back in April, after a bit of back and forth with my employer, I received word that I was finally being placed in a school system. Twelve hours later, I was packed up and on a train headed toward a town called Ebino. I knew two things about Ebino: first, that the town hosts a cow-jumping festival every year (yes, you read that right); and second, that my company described it as a nice place, albeit being in the middle of nowhere.
Geographically speaking, they got the middle part right. Nowhere, though? Depends on how you look at it.
With volcanoes to the south, foothills to the east, and low mountains to the north and west, Ebino lies nestled in a caldera valley. The town itself, with a modest population of 18,000 or so, is actually comprised of four villages - Masaki, Kakuto, Iino, and Uwae- that were combined in 1996 to create Ebino City. As a result, there isn’t much of a centralized town center, with no real main strip to peruse, no castle or Isoteien (Japanese-style garden) to wander, no shopping or entertainment district neatly packaged into one area. Instead, there are small clusters of humanity – coin laundry, udon restaurants, grocery stores, and post offices – separated by rice fields that split the valley into uneven grids. Aside from a handful of overpriced snack bars, there’s not much for a nightlife or even cafes (though we did recently get a rad one that operates out of a converted shipping container, no less). A social life can seem a remote possibility.
Due to its central location between three prefectures (Kagoshima, Kumamoto, and Miyazki), both Kyushu’s expressway, called the IC, and the island’s main non-toll road cut through the heart of Ebino. It would be easy to drive through, stopping only for a bathroom break and some kumquat ice cream, or perhaps not stopping at all. To most travelers, this town is a mere blip on the map. But to those who find themselves spending more time here, there is something about this area that is undeniably captivating.
A Beautiful Nowhere
Head towards the volcanoes to the south, and you’ll find Ebino Plateau. This area is home to the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park, which was Japan’s first designated national park. The Kirishima Mountain range crosses through the park and includes Mt. Karakui, Mt. Koshiki, and three gorgeous crater lakes: Rokkannonmiike, Fudo, and Byakushi. On a clear day, which is rare, it’s rumored that you can see South Korea from the top of Mt. Karakui. As a result of their volcanic activity, Ebino Plateau and Kyomachi (a district in Ebino City) are popular enclaves to enjoy hot springs. People come from all over to Kyushu to hike here, marvel at the azalea blooms in early summer, or relax in the onsens. Drive towards the northern and western sides of town and you’ll encounter switchback after switchback, working their way up, over, and through the mountains. You’ll find small hidden waterfalls, and miles of river gorges. The ridges are both high enough to offer sweeping views of the valley (like from the Yatake Plateau), and low enough to catch heavy clouds. On more than one occasion I’ve taken alternate routes home from or to school, tossing my camera in my bag, to chase the fog as it drapes along, clinging to the treeline in wisps.
Seasons are felt in full on Kyushu, and the Japanese seem to mark them in smaller segments – including cherry blossom, wisteria, dragonfly, fall foliage, and, of course, rainy season. Kyushu itself is an incredibly lush part of the country. The forests blanketing the area are mix of bamboo, cedars, and various pines, with canopies so thick that stepping into their shade brings a noticeable temperature drop. After rainy season, the land swells as overgrowth spills out onto sidewalks and roads. The vibrant green of the rice fields seems to have its own frequency.
The whole place vibrates, really, both in sound and color.
Despite assumptions about the stillness of a pastoral life, anyone who has lived in the country knows that nature is anything but quiet. Between the cicadas, the rain gutters, the downpours, and the frogs, every day is its own song.
Cloud Pornography
Nothing makes me feel more like a Midwesterner than how much I talk about the weather. I’ve learned this is theme with the Japanese as well. With the little bit of language I’ve picked up, I often hear people commenting on the temperature or the storm outside, practically before they have finished greeting each other. Exhibit A: When I mention that Chicago is cold and often snowy, anyone with enough English to communicate it shares the same horror story about a snowstorm three years ago that shut down the city and school. Say what you will about small talk, but weather unites us all.
One of my first introductions to Ebino’s ever-changing skies rings true more and more every day: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes.”
The mountains surrounding this valley create a cycle of low pressure and high pressure as the temperatures rise and fall. As a result, a strong breeze pulls clouds and storms across the valley in a constant weather parade. Ebino is the kind of place where it can be rainy, sunny, and foggy all at once. I am fortunate enough to have an apartment on the second floor with an unobstructed view of the river and my part of town. You’ll often find me throwing open the windows to shoot a rainbow across the river, or scrambling out onto my makeshift balcony just to gawk at the clouds and the sunsets. Forget big sky; this is timelapse country. (Note to self: learn how to take timelapses.) On any given day, depending on the sun (or lack thereof), Ebino could be mistaken for The Pacific Northwest, the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Carolinas, or, when the volcanoes are feeling feisty, Hawaii.
A Serving of Pride
The Miyazaki prefecture is also well known for its chicken farming. Often raised on organic feed, these freerange birds offer a leaner, healthier, more succulent meat that is used in dishes like chicken nanban (a breaded favorite), yakitori (skewered and grilled), kara-age (breaded and fried in oil), and can be found at many restaurants, tourist sites, and festivals. Miyazaki chicken can be found on the menu in popular cities across Japan like Tokyo. On top of that, there are egg vending machines all around Ebino where farmers can drop off fresh eggs for purchase at any given time. If you watch my Instagram stories, you know I am a frequent patron of these machines.
You’re also bound to stumble upon a Tano Kami or two throughout the region. These stone statues, called Tanokansaa, depict a deity that is believed to to protect the rice fields and bring good fortune to its farmers. While they range in appearance –from adorable, to weathered, to homemade –these pestle-wielding guardians symbolize the pride Ebino takes in its rice. So much pride, in fact, that requesting half-portions for our school lunch required a delicate dance of reassuring my coworkers it was for dietary reasons, so as not to offend their heralded crop. Rice farming is humble, back-breaking work, but it is highly honored by the community. It is served with every lunch in the school district, and is a staple in most households. School children in Ebino are required to spend an afternoon learning from local farmers and planting their own plot of rice as a class.
Sentiment Addict
I am not here to convince anyone that Ebino should jump to the top of their travel list (unless your travel list involves visiting me, of course) but there is something to be said for time spent in those in-between places. True, there are no awe-inspiring temples, no cascading torii gates, no giant Buddhas. At the end of the day, this is still rural farming community. But, half a world away, it mirrors a landscape familiar to me from my childhood. Strangely, there are moments here where I am reminded of Wisconsin. Like if you drive with your windows down, and the breeze is just right, you’ll know the cows are nearby well before you see them. Whether it be the sweet scent of freshly cut fields, the swallow’s nest outside my apartment, or the universal nod shared between drivers on back country roads, it's funny how these little threads of familiarity weave themselves into somewhere so foreign.
In the way that Americans may only know Tokyo or Kyoto, most Japanese folks’ knowledge of America is limited to Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, or Disney World. To many, Ebino is and will always be the middle of nowhere. But, I grew up in the middle of nowhere. I understand what it’s like to live somewhere no one knows. And, I understand what it’s like to love it all the same.
Till next time ✌🏻
Oh, here's a few gems from the Ebino/Kobayashi area:
Kirishima Geopark:
Great for year round hiking, this park offers a handful of trails around the volcanoes and their lakes, and there’s a cafe for refreshments at the end of your jaunt.
Bishamon Waterfall and Kuruson Gorge:
Small, but lovely waterfall hidden in the hills outside of Ebino, followed by a large bridge overlooking the gorge - which is a 10 KM stretch of the Sendaigawa River. The gorge is frequented by fisherman, but the route isn’t paved and can be precarious at times.
Ebino Outdoor Station:
A new cafe in town, housed in refurbished shipping containers and offering solid coffee and tasty lunch options.
Michi No Eki Ebino:
Our modest roadside station, offering local goods and omiyage, and delightful kumquat ice cream.
Daiwa Dairy farms:
Real cheese is quite hard to come by, but this small show outside of Kobayashi offers some award winning cheeses as well as homemade ice cream.
Musumi:
A adorable coffee shop and co-working space could easily fit in a city like Chicago or San Francisco, offering delicious lunch and dinner courses.
