Vol.67:Small electronic dictionary

Good morning.
I arrived at Lavrion port in Greece.
We have three day off until day after tomorrow.

I really looked forward to having the off.


Today, let me talk about my partner.
The partner is... electronic dictionary!
I bought it by Yahoo! auctions.

This is made by SHARP.
This is not folding type. It looks like Black Berry.
The dictionary includes Multi dictionary and English-English dictionary and Japanese English dictionary.

I use it in my work.

When and whyI use it? I mainly use 2 situations.
①Search unknown word
②When I don’t come up with any idea how to say the sentence.
③Expand my vocabulary.


Yesterday I make use of unexpected situation.
I found one Serbian passenger who has tattoo, 風林火山(Fu-RIn-Ka-Zan).
It is principle of attacking to opposite.
Japanese famous general, Shingen Takeda came up with this phrase.
Almost Japanese knows this phrase and meaning.

I was grad to see that, I talked to the passenger.

He did this tattoo in Moscow. 
He forget the meaning.

So I wanted to teach the meaning.
But I forget it. 

Fortunately, I had a dictionary in my pocket.
And the phrase exists in my dictionary.

I taught the meaning to him and write it on memo.

After that he was looked pleasure.
He appreciate me.

I was also so glad.


I could have little contribution to him.
