Aged Day
Despite Kama Chinen’s long life, her age has taken a toll on her. She can no longer move around without a wheelchair. Other than that, she is considered a ‘healthy’ for her age. Not just in Okinawa, but in Japan in general, the elderly population is rising rapidly. This has profound social implications for Japan. Insurance premiums are rising, which has some impact on the Japanese government and its tax paying citizens. Although longevity is increasing with age, the quality of life isn’t necessarily rising in direct proportion to age.
Some of the elderly have very high salt and cholestrol diets. The instability of the economy has made it so that some members of the elderly community have to continue working; contributing to a high stress lifestyle. Even in Okinawa, the expansion of the U.S. military has caused environmental degradation, noise pollution and the introduction of fast food (like McDonalds), which has serious implications for the elderly. With these changes, Respect of the Aged Day may become even more important.
As of now, the types of social services that are provided for the elderly depend on the region and city of Japan. Some towns are generous enough to hand out free bentos (べんとう) or boxed lunches to the elderly. Some towns have annual school plays where children perform skits for the elderly. Like towns, individual families also differ in the way they chose to spend Respect for the Aged Day. Some families use this time to go on vacation and some choose to spend quality time with a grandparent or two with gifts in hand.

BON Festival
The bon odori (盆踊り) is the bon dance. The dance differs from region to region and is performed in groups of several people. There is also a high scaffold called a yagura (やぐら), in which a singer or announcer directs and sings along to the dance. According to legend, the dance was started because a monk was overjoyed that his mother was released from suffering in the underworld. To this day the dances are carried out to show one’s appreciation towards one’s dead ancestors. Nowadays, the dances are carried out for entertainment purposes, rather than for spiritual reasons.
The festival can last up to three days. Towards the end of the festival, a ceremony called tooroo nagashi (灯籠流し) is performed. Tooroo nagashi (灯籠流し) means ‘the floating of the lanterns’. The lanterns are made of paper and usually a candle or incense is placed within the lantern. It’s believed that the lanterns help guide any stray spirits to the underworld. Before the advent of modern science and biology, many Japanese people believed that humans came from sources of water. Therefore the floating of the lanterns represent the human body returning to the origin of one’s birth.
While this is a somewhat solemn occassion, it is also a happy time as well. Fireworks and other lighted displays decorate the streets. Food stalls and games are also held for entertainment. As a result, the day of the dead can have twofold purposes. On the one hand, it’s a time of reflection. On the other hand, it’s a time where many Japanese children develop the happiest memories of their childhood.

FRIENDSHIP
PERSAHABATAN
PETER DAN TINA
Peter dan Tina sedang duduk bersama di taman kampus tanpa melakukan apapun,
hanya memandang langit sementara sahabat-sahabat mereka sedang asik
bercanda ria dengan kekasih mereka masing-masing.
Tina: "Duh bosen banget. Aku harap aku juga punya pacar yang bisa berbagi
waktu denganku."
Peter: "Kayaknya cuma tinggal kita berdua deh yang jomblo. cuma kita berdua
saja yang tidak punya pasangan sekarang."
(keduanya mengeluh dan berdiam beberapa saat)
Tina: "Kayaknya aku ada ide bagus deh. kita adakan permainan yuk?"
Peter: "Eh? permainan apaan?"
Tina: " Eng. .. gampang sih permainannya. . Kamu jadi pacarku dan aku jadi
pacarmu tapi hanya untuk 100 hari saja. gimana menurutmu?"
Peter: "Baiklah... lagian aku juga gada rencana apa-apa untuk beberapa bulan
ke depan."
Tina: "Kok kayaknya kamu gak terlalu niat ya... semangat dong! hari ini akan
jadi hari pertama kita kencan. Mau jalan-jalan kemana nih?"
Peter: "Gimana kalo kita nonton saja? Kalo gak salah film The Troy lagi maen
deh. katanya film itu bagus"
Tina: "OK dech.... Yuk kita pergi sekarang. tar pulang nonton kita ke
karaoke ya...
ajak aja adik kamu sama pacarnya biar seru."
Peter : "Boleh juga..."
(mereka pun pergi nonton, berkaraoke dan Peter mengantarkan Tina pulang
malam harinya)
Hari ke 2:
Peter dan Tina menghabiskan waktu untuk ngobrol dan bercanda di kafe,
suasana kafe yang remang-remang dan alunan musik yang syahdu membawa hati
mereka pada situasi yang romantis... Sebelum pulang Peter membeli sebuah
kalung perak berliontin bintang untuk Tina.
Hari ke 3:
Mereka pergi ke pusat perbelanjaan untuk mencari kado untuk seorang sahabat
Peter.
Setelah lelah berkeliling pusat perbelanjaan, mereka memutuskan membeli
sebuah miniatur mobil mini. Setelah itu mereka beristirahat duduk di
foodcourt, makan satu potong kue dan satu gelas jus berdua dan mulai
berpegangan tangan untuk pertama kalinya.
Hari ke 7:
Bermain bowling dengan teman-teman Peter. Tangan tina terasa sakit karena
tidak pernah bermain bowling sebelumnya. Peter memijit-mijit tangan Tina
dengan lembut.
Hari ke 25:
Peter mengajak Tina makan malam di Ancol Bay . Bulan sudah menampakan diri,
langit yang cerah menghamparkan ribuan bintang dalam pelukannya. Mereka
duduk menunggu makanan, sambil menikmati suara desir angin berpadu dengan
suara gelombang bergulung di pantai. Sekali lagi Tina memandang langit, dan
melihat bintang jatuh. Dia mengucapkan suatu permintaan dalam hatinya.
Hari ke 41:
Peter berulang tahun. Tina membuatkan kue ulang tahun untuk Peter. Bukan
kue buatannya yang pertama, tapi kasih sayang yang mulai timbul dalam
hatinya membuat kue buatannya itu menjadi yang terbaik. Peter terharu
menerima kue itu, dan dia mengucapkan suatu harapan saat meniup lilin ulang
tahunnya.
Hari ke 67:
Menghabiskan waktu di Dufan. Naik halilintar, makan es krim bersama,dan
mengunjungi stand permainan. Peter menghadiahkan sebuah boneka teddy bear
untuk Tina, dan Tina membelikan sebuah pulpen untuk Peter.
Hari ke 72:
Pergi Ke PRJ. Melihat meriahnya pameran lampion dari negeri China . Tina
penasaran untuk mengunjungi salah satu tenda peramal. Sang peramal hanya
mengatakan "Hargai waktumu bersamanya mulai sekarang", kemudian peramal itu
meneteskan air mata..
Hari ke 84:
Peter mengusulkan agar mereka refreshing ke pantai. Pantai Anyer sangat sepi
karena bukan waktunya liburan bagi orang lain. Mereka melepaskan sandal dan
berjalan sepanjang pantai sambil berpegangan tangan, merasakan lembutnya
pasir dan dinginnya air laut menghempas kaki mereka. Matahari terbenam, dan
mereka berpelukan seakan tidak ingin berpisah lagi..
Hari ke 99:
Peter memutuskan agar mereka menjalani hari ini dengan santai dan sederhana.
Mereka berkeliling kota dan akhirnya duduk di sebuah taman kota .
15:20 pm
Tina: "Aku haus.. Istirahat dulu yuk sebentar."
Peter: "Tunggu disini, aku beli minuman dulu. Aku mau teh botol saja. Kamu
mau minum apa?"
Tina: "Aku saja yang beli. kamu kan capek sudah menyetir keliling kota hari
ini. Sebentar ya"
Peter mengangguk. kakinya memang pegal sekali karena dimana-mana Jakarta
selalu macet.
15:30 pm
Peter sudah menunggu selama 10 menit and Tina belum kembali juga.
Tiba-tiba seseorang yang tak dikenal berlari menghampirinya dengan wajah
panik.
Peter : " Ada apa pak?"
Orang asing: " Ada seorang perempuan ditabrak mobil. Kayaknya perempuan itu
adalah temanmu"
Peter segera berlari bersama dengan orang asing itu..
Disana, di atas aspal yang panas terjemur terik matahari siang,tergeletak
tubuh Tina bersimbah darah, masih memegang botol minumannya.
Peter segera melarikan mobilnya membawa Tina ke rumah sakit terdekat.
Peter duduk diluar ruang gawat darurat selama 8 jam 10 menit.
Seorang dokter keluar dengan wajah penuh penyesalan.
23:53 pm
Dokter: "Maaf, tapi kami sudah mencoba melakukan yang terbaik. Dia masih
bernafas sekarang tapi Yang kuasa akan segera menjemput. Kami menemukan
surat ini dalam kantung bajunya."
Dokter memberikan surat yang terkena percikan darah kepada Peter dan dia
segera masuk ke dalam kamar rawat untuk melihat Tina. Wajahnya pucat tetapi
terlihat damai..
Peter duduk disamping pembaringan tina dan menggenggam tangan Tina dengan
erat.
Untuk pertama kali dalam hidupnya Peter merasakan torehan luka yang sangat
dalam di hatinya.
Butiran air mata mengalir dari kedua belah matanya.
Kemudian dia mulai membaca surat yang telah ditulis Tina untuknya.
Dear Peter...
ke 100 hari kita sudah hampir berakhir.
Aku menikmati hari-hari yang kulalui bersamamu.
Walaupun kadang-kadang kamu jutek dan tidak bisa ditebak,
tapi semua hal ini telah membawa kebahagiaan dalam hidupku.
Aku sudah menyadari bahwa kau adalah pria yang berharga dalam hidupku.
Aku menyesal tidak pernah berusaha untuk mengenalmu lebih dalam lagi
sebelumnya..
Sekarang aku tidak meminta apa-apa, hanya berharap kita bisa memperpanjang
hari-hari kebersamaan kita. Sama seperti yang kuucapkan pada bintang jatuh
malam itu di pantai,
Aku ingin kau menjadi cinta sejati dalam hidupku. Aku ingin menjadi
kekasihmu selamanya dan berharap kau juga bisa berada disisiku seumur
hidupku. Peter, aku sangat sayang padamu.
23:58
Peter: "Tina, apakah kau tahu harapan apa yang kuucapkan dalam hati saat
meniup lilin ulang tahunku?
Aku pun berdoa agar Tuhan mengijinkan kita bersama-sama selamanya.
Tina, kau tidak bisa meninggalkanku! hari yang kita lalui baru berjumlah 99
hari!
Kamu harus bangun dan kita akan melewati puluhan ribu hari bersama-sama!
Aku juga sayang padamu, Tina.. Jangan tinggalkan aku, jangan biarkan aku
kesepian!
Tina, Aku sayang kamu...!"
Jam dinding berdentang 12 kali..... jantung Tina berhenti berdetak.
Hari itu adalah hari ke 100...
Katakan perasaanmu pada orang yang kau sayangi sebelum terlambat.
Kau tidak akan pernah tahu apa yang akan terjadi besok.
Kau tidak akan pernah tahu siapa yang akan meninggalkanmu dan tidak akan
pernah kembali lagi.
*Dear Friends* ,
*
Tahukah anda* kalau orang yang kelihatan begitu tegar
hatinya, adalah orang
yang sangat lemah dan butuh pertolongan?

Partikel "yo"
In addition, yo (よ) can be used to state something with authority. If someone says, muri des yo (むりですよ), it’s like someone saying, ‘I guarantee you that it’s impossible’. The tone of this statment is made very strong by the use of the yo (よ) particle, so be careful about using it towards certain people. For example, I wouldn’t use the yo (よ) particle in a sentence with a boss. I think it would come off as rude if you were to assert yourself so strongly in front of your superior.
The yo (よ) particle can also be used to brag about something. For example, if you say, goukaku shita yo (ごうかくしたよ), which can be translated as, ‘Of course I passed.’ I left the subject wide open for interpretation. It could be a test, an interview, whatever you want it to be. You could also say, kantan des yo (かんたんですよ), which could mean, ‘Of course it’s easy.’ I also left this wide open for interpretation.
The main point that I tried to emphasize is that with all these phrases, the yo (よ) particle can take on different undertones. Yes, it’s true that in the general sense yo (よ) is assertive and authoritative, but notice how it’s hard to exact an all purpose explanation that is the same for every phrase. So the next time you use yo (よ), think about how you want to express yourself.

Makna Partikel 'Ne'
Ne (ね) is also a type of softener used when you want to reject someone’s proposal. For example, if someone asks you ‘じかんが ありますか‘ or jikanga arimaska, which literally means, ‘Do you have some time’ but in context can mean ‘Are you free to spend some time with me’. You want to reject the person, but do it in a way that’s not mean so you could say, ‘ちょっとね…’ (chotto). Chotto (ちょっと) can be translated as ‘ummm…’ but it literally means ‘a little’. In this case, ne (ね) can have the meaning ‘well…’ or ‘you know…’ Unlike the example in the paragraph above, ne (ね) is not use to gain confirmation. It’s kind of used to say, ‘Well…it’s a bit inconvenient for me…you know?’
Ne (ね) can also be used to say a command in an indirect manner. For example, let’s say someone is waiting in line and says, ‘じかんが ありませんね‘ (jikanga arimasen ne). This literally means, ‘there’s no time’ but in the context of the situation, it could mean, ‘Please hurry up. There’s no time, you know’.
The difficult thing about the Japanese language is that there may be certain undertones or implications within a sentence that depend upon the context of a situation. The use of the ne (ね) particle is where it becomes useful to be socially aware of the implications involved in the meaning of every sentence.

Kalimat Sederhana
As you see in this sentence, the ja arimasen (じゃありません) has replaced the des (です). In addition, the ja arimasen (じゃありません) comes right after the noun. You can form the negative form of any sentence that has a noun. I’ll talk about negating sentences with adjectives in another post.
Just so you know, jaa arimasen (じゃありません) is the contracted form of negating a sentence. The uncontracted form is dewa (でわ). Using the example above, I am not a Japanese person is, “わたしは にほんじんでわありません” (watashiwa nihonjin dewa arimasen).
Subjects can be dropped in Japanese. Therefore, the sentence, “I am a Japanese person” can have the “I” dropped if it’s obvious that you’re doing the talking. Simply saying, “にほんじんです” is adequate enough. This is especially true when you’re asking people questions in Japanese. You can ask, “Are you a Japanese person?” by asking, “にほんじんですか” (nihonjin deska). The Japanese word for “you” in Japanese is “anata” (あなた). You’re free to include anata (あなた) as the subject of the sentence when you’re asking someone a question, but it’s a bit redundant.
Des (です) is a flexible verb. You can use des (です) to say, “am”, “are”, and “is”. For example the sentence, “Misora is ten years old” in Japanese is “みそらは じゅっさいです“. The same goes for the negative form of des (です) which is jaarimasen (じゃありません). One last thing, before I go, des (です) and jaarimasen (じゃありません) is in the formal, present tense. I’ll write another post on the past tense as well.
One last note, the particle は in わたしは にほんじんでわありません and other sentences, is pronounced as wa, not ha. は is also a subject marking particle. However, since subjects can be dropped, this particle can also be dropped.

Labels of Japanese People
Issei (一世) refers to people who were born in Japan, but have immigrated to another country. This term is especially used to refer to people in the U.S and Brazil. It’s also used to decribe the immigrants who came to the U.S. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The issei (一世) in Brazil were mostly coffee plante laborers. Most of the laborers wanted to earn money and go right back to Japan after saving some money. For most people, this never happened. Low wages prevented people from saving enough money to even buy a ticket back home. The issei (一世) in the U.S. were sugar plant workers in Hawaii. Many had no permanent plans to stay in Hawaii, but ended up but having families and living in the U.S.; never to return to Japan.
The Nissei (二世) is a term used to describe a generation of people who were born to at least one issei (一世) parent and were born in a country other than Japan. The Nissei (二世) frequently suffer from identity crises. It’s usually refers to people who were born after WWI. When they were interned in U.S. and Canadian camps during WWII, many of the nissei (二世) were torn between their Japanese roots and their new found identity as Americans. A lot of the nissei (二世) knew how to speak Japanese and were taught by their issei (一世) parents to uphold Japanese values. However, the nissei (二世) were also taught English and American values in public schools. Many of them were torn as to where they should place their loyalty, especially after they were interned.
The Sansei (三世) is used to describe the generation of people who are born to at least one nissei (二世) parent. In many cases, the sansei (三世) were encouraged by their parents to obtain higher education. This also means that many of the sansei (三世) spoke fluent English and almost little or no Japanese. Unlike the issei (一世), the sansei (三世) typically view themselves as Americans, or Canadians with Japanese ancestry. Some have married outside of the Japanese community and have adopted Christianity as their religion. The sansei (三世) were the most vocal activists in lobbying for the U.S. government to apologize for the internment of Japanese citizens.
Nikkeijin (日系人) is a general term used to describe Japanese emigrants and their descendants. The nikkeijin (日系人) refers to the issei (一世), nissei (二世) and sansei (三世). In many cases, the Japanese government does not grant citizenships to people who are yonsei (四世) and up. If you can prove that you are a sansei (三世) or below, you may apply for citizenship. A similar term is dekasegi (出稼ぎ). Dekasegi (出稼ぎ) refers especially to Japanese Brazilians who have immigrated to Japan to find better jobs. There is considered discrimination against the dekasegi (出稼ぎ). They are not viewed as “Japanese” and are frequently considered as foreigners.

Sentoo
A sentoo (銭湯) is a public bathhouse. Even though people have bathtubs at home, a sentoo (銭湯) is a bit different from your ordinary bathtub.
A sentoo (銭湯) will have separate sections for each gender. Male children up to ten years of age can go with their mothers. Other than that, the gender division is strictly enforced. That means no peeking! If you’re caught peeking in the opposite sex’s changing room, you’re definitely going to take a trip to the police station, so mind your sentoo manners! The men’s area will have a bluish door with the word otoko (男) on it. The women’s side is red with the word for onna (女) on it. Otoko = man. Onna = woman.
Every sentoo (銭湯) has a locker room where you store your clothes and other belongings. Before you enter the locker room you have to pay an entrance fee. Each sentoo (銭湯) has their own rates. Some charge for the number of hours you plan to stay, while others charge a flat fee no matter how long or short you stay. Once you’ve paid, you’ll be given a key with your locker number on it. In some places, you can store your belongings in any random lockers, except for the ones that are reserved for regular customers.
You are not permitted to wear any clothing once you enter the public bathing area. The only thing you can bring is a small bucket with soap, shampoo, back scrubber, small towel and maybe some sandals. They sell these things at the sentoo (銭湯), but they’re on the pricy side. They bathing area also contains small stools that you can sit on. These stools have been used, so I personally place a towel on the stool, just in case.
The floor of the bathing area is covered with tiles, which can cause your barefoot to get very hot. The bathhouse that I go to regularly, allows people to bring clog-like sandals, so I bring sandals. The sandals allow me to walk around with ease without stinging my feet. However, check with the person at the front desk to make sure you can do this. Not all places allow footwear in the bathing area.
The waters of the sentoo (銭湯) are steaming hot. You can cool off in another room with a bathtub full of cold water. The catch is that you have to pay an extra fee. There’s a person watching at the entrance to this room, so you probably won’t be able to sneak past without paying. Besides, you need to show your wristband, which proves that you’ve paid the extra fee. One way to cool down without having to pay such a big fee is to buy cold drinks at the vending machines.
So why go to a sentoo when you have a bathtub at home? It’s just relaxing. The water never gets cold and you can sit in the water for hours just resting. Too bad I don’t own a sentoo. If I did, I’d go there practically every day.
