- okay beside school related work i have a question ... do youu eat bugs in japan ?
oh, btw, what makes Yale so special?
bugs?!
um, not usually
- well besides the fact that youu need like the highest gpa average ever to go there , its one of the highest ivey leagues schools in the world , and if youu get excepted you can get excepted anywhere and your pretty much a genious .
- what kind of stuff do you eat ?
:P my parents just looked up good collages in america, and chose yale cause it looked nice.
i like sushi, soba, ramen, ramune, and sashimi
i also like onigiri, depending on what is in it
on a side note, kare raisu is also one of the best dishes i have ever had, but it is rather expensive, and i dont eat it often
- okay i know what sushi is , i love sushi but what is all that other stuff .. oh and ramen . all black people eat ramen.
that seems a bit racist, but onigiri is basically stuffed rice balls with a bit of seaweed holding it together, sashimi is just raw fish on rice, with a bit of seaweed holding it together(im sure you probably would think of it as sushi as well) and ramune is a common soft drink. and soba is a noodle soup of sorts
kare raisu would be i think you call it curry, mixed with rice
oh, and btw B would be your answer
- @死は最高です oh but its the truth . im black and everybody i know thats black eats ramen. it would surprise me to meet a african american who has never hd it . and i love curry and rice . its like the best food ever
haha, ok i guess it's not as racist if it is speaking of your own race XD
i guess ill ask a couple of african american friends of mine at the university if they like ramen. >.<
- lol im sure they will be glad to share . its quite inexpensive here
haha, and im glad of that much, a ramen in japan can be up to 3k yen, depending on its quality :P
The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise both dealt with A) the admission of new western states. B) the territorial expansion of slavery. C) the regulation of interstate commerce. D) the representation of states in Congress.
- a ramen in the US is like 59 cents a pack. its sad but honestly thats the reason its so common in black homes because its so cheap . but because it tastes good too.
haha, yah i think you are just talking about flavord packet ramen. and yah, that is somewhat saddening to hear. and also, yes it is rather delicious
i was hoping for a ramen shop that served fresh ramen with a bit of tofu, for mabey 2$
also, this questions answer is B as well
- ohhhh , i like tofu to . but it isnt common here where i live . youu have to really look for it , i cant speak for other states though im not sure
yah, i haven't found any yet, but i just got here to the US, like 3 days ago
but i seriously doubt i will find a ramen shop in conneticut
- oh yeah probably not . try newyork if youu get the chance . chinatown has a tofu shop on every corner .
haha, im sure it does. and from what i have seen, newyork is very similar to tokyo
- i havent been to tokyo , ive only seen pictures and movies but from what ive seen it looks better than newyork .
:P i need to actually go to new york to make the full comparison -_-
- do youu plan on going during your time here ?
probably not -_-
my parents said they wouldn't send me any money while i was here, and that i needed to get a job that feeds me, and allows for me to go to collage
so ill probably just be scraping by
- did youu get a scholarship of some sort ? because yale is one of the most expensive schools.
yah, i got a scholarship
i just need the job so that i get enough for food
and because im going home after i get my masters, my parents ordered me to only get a minum wage job
so if you come to conneticut you will probably see me in a McDonalds
- go to a foodmarket . they are always hiring and it looks good that your bilingual on your application
ok, ill look for a foodmarket instead
- they will probably pay youu more than mcdoonalds , and because yours so young there are probably one offew places that will employ youu because of the laws we have in order .
ok, thanks ^_^ but will i still have the time for going to collage?
- yesss but it wont be easy. yale has very high requirements and i wouldnt be surprised if you find yourself restless most day.
yah, i figured ^_^ but i guess i was "build for this"
- lol what kind of music is popular there /
i really like dubstep, and i often listen to Hatsune Miku
- these are bands i suppose ?
i also like Binaural beats, and some minyo
dubstep is a genre, Hatsune Miku is considered to be an electronic idol, and minyo is also a genre. whereas binaural beats are simply two different tones being played simultaneously into each individual ear. (for relaxing, focusing, or simply entertaining your mind)
although im not a "BIG fan" of hatsune miku, i do listen to some of her music
i also appreciate different english, german, and japanese nightcore
and i very much appreciate classical music, mainly from the japanese band goose house
- im intrigued . ive never heard of any of this..
im sure that if you go to youtube, soundcloud, or google that you will find all of these, and probably get a better explanation that i can give
- llf read my mind
well, i gtg, but ill be back l8r, and if you need anything just msg me, and when im online again ill see that you msged me. i suggest you fan me, that way you find me easier as well.
ttyl ^_^
- okay kool
