Have the feeling being targeted


i was sitting in my balcony enjoying a cup of nescafe i prepared ,the time was about 1:30 am
the weather was a bit chilly
i sipped from my cup and looked at the horizon when suddenly i saw something like a mirror reflection then suddenly an idea jumped into my head made my bone shaking to the core
i saw my self in the center of sniper's crosshair adjusting his rifle to execute the perfect shot
then !!!!! Bang
wow this was very scary isn't it?

just imagine that you are targeted for five minutes and see how psychologically you will be affected how doubtful you will become , every move you take you will feel that you are followed
, and some times you commit sudden moves trying to avoid that imaginary bullet hissing its way toward you .

this is how you feel

but i really feel sorry about those people has been killed by snipers especially those innocent who were shopping or having a walk peacefully in a sunny day under a perfect blue sky ,only their bad luck brought them to that very spot.

Warning don't stare


Recently i read an article that was warning from having an eye contact with Muslim people as it might be very provocative and they may react in an unpleasant way to you. Well i encourage you to have a trip on the train or sit in public place and start staring at people in their eyes directly, have a note and a pencil with you, draw a three column table that contains Reaction, No reaction, and Religion. if some one complains back then you are definitely checking the Reaction, if no then check No reaction. By the way don't forget to ask every person you eyed.. "excuse me .... what is your religion?" .

Japanese confusing sentences


Ok i am writing this because i am living in japan for the time being so this one is dedicated to all who got confused when they go snack restaurants or coffee shops. now when you enter to a place that would provide serving for you, first thing they will great you with the word (irashaimase)which means welcome, then you head to the counter and the useful thing is that in case of food you will find a illustration of varieties of food you can pickup just by pointing your finger at the targeted food, now here comes the confusing part, you might hear (ten nai de o meshiagarimasuka?) and they say it very fast so this means would like to eat in? I have encountered the same question me and i just said yes, putting in mind that these are unnecessary words just for the complement, but some times clerks to got confused... why?? Here is why,Imagine this conversation between me an the clerk clerk ; irashaimase me ;........ clerk; ten nai de o meshiagarimasuka?((eat in?) ) me ; hai (yes) me ; cafe mocha (onegaishimasu) please clerk ; hai ( kashkomarimashita) i understood me ; take out (onegaishimasu) please clerk; ????? confused me; nothing just had my coffee and walked away.!!!
