Now I am plannig to go to Taipei.
This summer vacation, I'll go to Taipei.
Several years ago, I went to US which was planned by university.
So, this is the first time for me that planning by myself to go abroad.
I hope someone who has been in Taipei will give me advice.
I think I should visit National Palace Museum.(故宮博物院)
I am undecided (I can't decide or I am uncertain) about jiou-fen(九 l分).Should I go there?
I'll stay only for a day so I must use my head to spend (some) nice time!0 votedJune 10, 20123- はじめまして what is the exact meaning? I know that the English translation of はじめまして is "How do you do" and どうぞよろしく is translated "Nice to meet you" But searching for the roots of the meaning i try to translate it literally so はじめまして どうぞよろしく is "we meet for the first time, by all means, please remember me" but I am not sure about まして. Am I correct?June 9, 201240

Leading Light in the Boneyard (2)Shin'ichi Sano, a non fiction writer wrote a book about this case called "TEPC OL Murder"; OL is short for Office Lady that is a Japanese-English word means female office workers. In the 1970's the word was created and they were ranked as ancillary staffs for male workers, the tasks given to them were mainly serving tea and making a copy; they were called "girls" at any rage (range) and the situation is not changed so much even now.
She was the first female to be employed in general positions at TEPC in 1980. Also her father was working there but he had died when she was a colledge student. She had been living with highly-educated parents and her younger sister in a house in the middle of Tokyo. Even after his (her father's) dead she would not hurt for money (she hasn't struggled for money) in a single-female-parent family because it was reported that her annual income at TEPC was over ten million. There is something wrong with calling her just a "girl", she has graduated from a top university and she was employed in a first-class corporation but she has chosen to sell her body in a small dark town on her own will. According to testimonies from people who knew her, the rate of her sex services was from 5,000 yen to 10,000 yen and she even has made discounts for poor guests. There was price lowering trend in accordance with the age of sellers (prostitutes): young girls with thier school uniform; many high or even junior high school girls had sold their sex and the price for their "brand" was higher than adults even though they didn't have any skills. Even so, in that time (in those times) the usual pay rate for prostitution was about 30,000 yen. She had used to make records of her "work" in her diary, bought cheep snacks at CVS and eaten them for dinner on the train back to her place where her mother and sister have been waiting for her. She had kept this routine untill she was killed at the age of 39.
When the book was published, the writer was given so many letters from female readers saying that "This could happen to me, too. She is me". He said that he was very amazed about their feedback and that he had not expected, there would be something that could not be seen (was overlooked) by males(men); his report has put emphasis on not her life (not on her life) but on the problem of unjust accusation though; it was enough to awake their voice inside.
On the next note, I will tell you more details and I will refer to an opinion by Chizuko Ueno who is a pioneer in the field of gender studies on this case.
