Haiku adventures

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

Ooh, I'm a blogger!

Hello, friends and comment spammers alike, and welcome to my exciting new blog about my adventures in Japan (and, briefly, Hong Kong). Now there's a lot of rubbish blogs out there, so I've been thinking about how to make mine not-rubbish. I've decided that, in the spirit of:

a) being all Japanesey
b) Cantabridgian pretentiousness
c) trying to make my foreign travel blog more excitng than Anna's or Rob+Laura's,

I'm going to summarise every post with a nifty little haiku at the bottom. So all those of you who were unimpressed by the verbosity of last summer's missives can just skip to the end and check out the haiku (and maybe glance at some pictures on the way down).

And of course, the more haiku-format comments the better. Don't be shy, let those creative juices flow.

He has a new blog,
To which he will post haikus,
For your enjoyment

Not even trying
Is the greatest failure
Write a haiku now!!

Actually I only wrote in Japanese cause the syllables are easier to count. I am never sure with English words (which I am sure the above illustrates perfectly). (^_^)

Well the haiku score is now:
Ninkle 2
Rest of world 0

which means that Ninkle is beating the rest of the world by (2 * infinity) per cent.

But don't despair, slow chatters, it's not too late! You can still make a difference.

Hi Toshio! Welcome aboard!

Ok westerners, we now have completely random Japanese people writing haikus, and yet none of you have produced one. For shame.

By the way, as far as I can tell, Toshio's haiku was about how he couldn't write a haiku because he was too sleepy.

To Alice...

There is no chedder,
But Dairylea triangles
Sold as "Camembert".

When I first bought these
I was very sad indeed.
French cheese it was not!
