This is part of what the students at my school study, when they're not sleeping, reading comics, applying make up (and it's not just the girls these days), drawing pornographic pictures, using their cell phones, or the various other extra-curricular activities that they pursue during class time. The students here work pretty hard outside at gardening and working the fields.
In the city, fresh and cheap are mutually exclusive qualities when one shops for produce. One of the benefits of working at this school is that I can buy fruits and vegetables at less than half of what they would cost in the supermarket. In addition, they also sell flowers, plants, and today they're selling kabutomushi (rhinocerous beetles). Not that I want to buy a beetle, even at a discounted price, but it's nice to know that the option is there.
engraulis mordax comes to mind. Does Mekong have anything to do with simians? Probably should be Youkong - actually, that's up north over here somewhere.
Yo Kohei, it's been too long! Isn't engraulis mordax the latin for anchovy? Dude, when you coming back to Japan?
incidentally, there were two types of 'kabutomushi' when I was a child. One had the fixed horn on the carapace and the other on the head which moved up and down - like vertical pinchers. The other had two symmetrical horizontal pinchers. The other bug I was fascinated with was the 'kamakiri'. I used wath them lay eggs - and then watch the eggs hatch. No wonder I love the National Geographic channel. I used to catch them and keep them in a small cage. They love 'suika'. Kids are allowed to do stuff like that for a while. Until they figure out that they die quicker in a cage. Then you figure out what kind of adult you're going to be.
Is that lesson on grafting twigs or proper pruning techniques? And where are the photos of the kabutomushi, por favor?
