Thanks for commenting on my blogpost, 光安！

First of all, why kanji? I just thought that since we're both Japanese, it'd feel like we're closer if I write your name in kanji than in romaji (what's the English translation of romaji?), and I actually don't know the correct kanji characters used in your name, but I think that it'll be something for us to have a little laugh at, whether I'm wrong or correct. Second of all, you don't have to call me Mr. Aizu. Masaya is okay.

I'm glad that you have positive feelings for Aomori. If you go there, I recommend that you eat scallops(hotate). I have to say, they are really good! I especially like sliced raw scallops. These are the several places where you can enjoy scallop meals.

My hometown is famous for apple. I plan to go back home in this summer break. So, you know what, I might be able to give you, as a little present, the latest model of iPhone that isn't in stores then. No, I'm joking( notice that apple isn't in the plural form). Sorry it's too samui. Actually, I have an bottle of apple juice from my hometown that I haven't opened yet. If you want, I can give you that. The other thing about Aomori that I can come up with is that, there's the cherry blossom festival that I talked about in the former post in spring, Nebuta festivals in summer, you can enjoy climbing up Shirakami-Sanchi in fall, you can enjoy snow in winter if you've rarely seen it. What I'm trying to say is, I guess you can go there pretty much anytime. Anyway, if you go there, I hope that you have a great time.

Yes, I'm happy to have lunch with you! Or, I have only one class on Fridays, so I'm thinking of going to the library and see some books Dr. Armstrong recommended. Why not go together if you have free time then?

To people in the class, lately, I've been wondering what is the use of learning things in the past like history, archaeology or philology, or what can we do with things we learn from the past? I guess we can say that we can learn lessons from the past in order not to make the same mistakes again, or that history is the gold mine of the great wisdom of the great people who ever lived. But it doesn't really get me excited to study things in the past because those ideas are like old cliches. Right now, I'm more interested in discovering things that haven't been discovered preferably in scientific terms. Do you guys have any thoughts or opinions as to what is the use of studying disciplines like history and archaeology or what to do with the knowledge of them? If you do, please make a blogpost (apparently, you have to make a blogpost to make a comment on a blogpost.) and let me know. On that note, I'm gonna go buy some food for dinner. See you soon.
