Doll Festival Otherwise yesterday was Hinamatsuri ( 雛 祭り) , celebration ( 祭り) dolls ( 雏) , if you've read Love Hina, you know . This is not really a big event, rather an opportunity to eat at. At the big TV, I just saw how to make a cloth doll (super chiade) and what it was: it offers a doll for little girls and we (the girls) is satisfied. dolls representing the imperial couple or partner and symbolizes happiness and prosperity (for girls). Considering how society Japanese is macho (eg Valentine is the girl who gives a gift to the boy) is no worse than girls have a party just for them but they must still love dolls we can make origami paper in to replace it also works. For the food is sushi OCCAZ (reminder: no, the Japs do not eat THAT sushi, as well as Breton does not puff pancakes every day), and called arare junk, you know the coating has colored rice and soybeans around peanuts, "Japanese cookies" that you take a drink. It's the same. It is indeed more an excuse to stick it because even families who do not have a daughter at home celebrating the hina matsuri.
tsunami
It has not really spoken in France, or at least I have not seen in the headlines, actually it was not really important either, but while Vendee flowed, Japan also had a visit from Neptune: we ate was a tsunami (津 波 port = wave).
There must be a break of course, a tidal wave 30m high would be engulfed Japan, you would have heard about.
Well yes very often when there is an earthquake at the other end of the Pacific (genus Chile to cite an example at random like that) it makes a mess up at sea level bibi.
In 1960, an earthquake in Chile caused a tsunami of 18m which went peter, among others, to Japan.
Sunday, from what I saw the tsunami reached a height of up to 1.40 (maybe more but certainly less, at least postponed: 10cm, 3m they expected at the base). While Japan was on alert. Throughout the day, TV dispense information on the evolution of this trrrrremendous tsunami several feet high ... In fact, since they are eating a giant Mr. Clean in 1960, they are quite reactive and cautious, and a large number of people has been moved in anticipation. Wet cat fears cold water.
I am well split mouth seeing a ripple of 40cm up an estuary with a map of Japan on red alert, all the littoral flashing scarlet. The most annoying thing is that, as for earthquakes map showing risk areas takes a quarter of the screen and more appear on all channels. This couple has a summary table (which also takes a quarter of the screen) which indicates the height of the tsunami in major ports. With the Tokyo marathon was the main attraction of the weekend. It must be said that Japanese television is as exciting as that emissions could be pat in France at the same time ... Strongly Sunday! Aha! Between horse races and weird guys (a kendo who wanders with his sword in the street, two guys dressed as vampires and an unknown but jovial salaryman "ramen expert es) that assign ratings to restaurants taken at random in the street (the incredible amount of programming on japanese food), even the marathon seemed like a fun factor: 6:45 after the start of the race:
- like the son cache Willy Wonka and the Grinch is the marathon ... Who's that?
- a people
- it called?
- I do not know
- it does what?
- I do not know
- but why then we follow this guy?
- Ben is a celebrity ...
Ben they followed such crying with a hat and a striped green tails to the end! Reassure me if Cauet decides to do the Paris marathon dressed as Casimir himself will throw you rocks eh? (Well at least respect for Gus, he still finished)
(To see pictures of the marathon, go to nicdumz is right, he was not afraid of rain, but it was near his home as well so good)
short back on the tsunami ... Or tidal wave, it does absolutely not a wave the size of a building (and tidal flush does not mean I like the hair cut short, it would be quite funny to call something ras several meters high, tidal means fast), not the wave is large if the background is highly uneven, if the bottom is flat, the height of the wave remains the same as the high seas (well the same order of magnitude): transmission energy of the tsunami in the form of a wave that propagates in water gnagna, a guy wrote it better than me on any How encyclopedia Wikipedia which .
If there is no "water wall" in contrast, 1 - arriving on the coast, the waves advance very far and 50cm of water is sufficient to arrive in the city, you graze violently before you train you drown in the place that makes you freak of your choice, or pick up your offspring and her reflexes mold from the bottom. 2 - the wave (the wave) is long enough so that tsunami is synonymous with rising waters of both, so a tsunami 1m does not cause a wave of 1m but causes a rising sea of 1m, this which is completely different!

types were a little overzealous and it apologized for having moved so many people for nothing, apart from some slight damage nothing happened. And a lot of blabber about nothing.
