コロンビア大学の学生ナネットさんはラーメンせたがやはとてもおいしかったと言っていました。でも、ナネットさんはラーメンせたがやは十一ドラーだと言っていました。ちょっと高いかったと思いますが、ラーメンはおいしいだと思います。チャーロッッビルはいいラーメンのレストランがありますか。しりませんが、私におしえてください。えと、ダウンタウンマールでいいダープリン「Dumpling」のレストランがありますよ。そうして、ダウンタウンでダープリンのレストランのそばにスシのレストランがありますが、私はぜんぜんいきません。だから、食べ物をしりません。みんなさんはそのレストランをしっていますか。高くて、おいしい食べ物がありますか。
ナネットさんのブログはここですから、見てください。
A Kappa Explanation
I'm sure by now some people are confused as to the images I've chosen and the video clip below. The clip below, in case you can't read the rather blurred kanji, is from the anime Gensomaden Saiyuki by Kazuya Minekura. The opening isn't as full of pretty fluorishes and whatnot like the actual episodes are.
Why am I explaining this, you may ask. Well, it all has to do with the kappa nickname that I tend to use - in case you didn't figure the kappa part out by now from the signature on the left. Kappa was the term incorrectly assigned to the Saiyuki character in the original Journey to the West series, Sha Gojyo. Gojyo was a sand demon in the original Buddhist myth about a Sanzo priest traveling to India to meet the Buddha. A kappa, however, is a water demon whose favorite food is cucmbers and who carry water dishes on their heads. This is not Minekura's Gojyo, either.
Still lost? That's good - I'm not there yet. In Kazuya Minekura's version, which is far more of an action and personal discovery piece where the four main characters (five if you count Hakuryuu the dragon who can turn into a Jeep) are trying to prevent Gyumaoh, the Demon King, from being reborn, than a religious treatise (though there are a lot of philosophical aspects and debates buried within it), Sha Gojyo is actually half kappa. You can tell he's not human or demon from his red hair and red eyes. I bet now you know who he is in the clip below.
I got the nickname Kappa from Minekura-san's Gensomaden Saiyuki series, prescribed by a group of friends that seems to perpetuate it regardless of who I'm around - it's actually migrated with me past highschool. Gojyo's personality has some rugged edges, though he's really a big brother type beyond that. He's also the fair bit of a romantic, once you get past the playboy aspect. While there are plenty of differences between myself and Gojyo (mainly the whole he's a guy and I'm not aspect), the name persists.
So, longer than anyone cares, this is your kappa signing off.

今日は、kappaさん。すみませんfor not commenting on your post earlier! I responded on my blog, but going to your page has been a かんたんじゃないexperience. こんど、私のしょうかいをわたしにおしえてください。お願いします。
私は、いいdumplingレストランが行きたいですけど、しりません。うらやましい！
kappaさんは、何のりょうりが好きですか。中国のりょうりが好きですか。インドりょうりが好きですか。
いいえ、よかったです。先週私のしゅうくだいは私が知らない学生からブログにも書きました。それはちょっと大変だと思いました。
りょうりが好きですか。そうですね。。。日本のりょうりと何かりょうりが好きです。^.^; そして、りょうりすろのが好きです。（I usually cook for friends, so maybe it's just that aspect for friends, so maybe it's just that aspect that I like)
