Buhi Buhi

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Today, he is on the Google top page (http://www.google.com/). I like the sense of humor on the Google top page.
Last weekend, I was supposed to be busy. First of all, I’d have planed to go to “Waialae country club”, which is located 20 or 30 minutes by bike from my apartment, to watch SONY open. But Woods did not join this year and Wie did not pass trial heat again. So I had second thought. In addition, though it was so windy through last week, it suddenly stopped during the weekend. So we canceled to go to Kailua to enjoy wind surfing. Umm, no luck.
But I still had luck. Masaya called me that they would have Brian’s birthday party at Brenden’s backyard. Great! So I and Thomas rushed to his house with some bears and Japanese-sake.

This time, Robert H. Cowie, a faculty in Zoology also joined with his wife. It’s really nice that we can communicate with people studying in other fields. I wanna thank Masaya, Hiromi and Brenden for inviting such a BBQ party many times and their cooking delicious dinner.
One of fun topics this time was the different explanation of animal crying among countries. Mostly those are similar independently of country and language. But the crying of pig was special. In Japan, we explain it as “Buhi-Buhi” or “Bu-, Bu-“. I can’t believe that they cry “Oink Oink” in United State. Check it out!
