Movember...11月って？

Movember is just a couple days away. Now I have looked it up and its big in Australia, US, Canada but its not that big here in Hong Kong.
モーベンバーの日が近づいた。オーストラリア、アメリカ、カナダでは認知度が高いけど、香港ではあまり知られていない。

Movember is a simple charity movement where men grow mustaches out for 30 days to be a walking billboard of action towards mens health research. Prostate Cancer and depression being the largest two.  Men who take part are called Mo Bro's and women who help gather support are called Mo sista's.
モーベンバーとは男性の健康のためにできたチャリティー運動で、３０日間ひげをのばすんだ。前立腺ガンやうつ病がよく注目される二つ。この運動に参加する男性のことをモーブロと呼び、サポートする女性はモーシスターズ。

Becoming a Mo Bro is simple, there are 5 rules.
モーブロになりたい人な下記の５つのルールを守ってください。

1. October 31st the mustache and handle bar area must be clean. AKA no facial hair.
１０月３１日、顔には一切毛がないこと。
2. During November no hair can grow below the bottom lip.
１１月中下唇の下には一切毛をはやさない。
3. No joining of mustache to sideburns.
ひげともみあげをつなげないこと。
4. No joining of the handle bars to your chin to create a goatie.
ハンドルバーからあごにつなげてゴーティーにしないこと。
5. Each man with a mustache must conduct himself as a true gentleman!
ひげをはやす男は紳士的に振る舞うこと。

Simple as that.
かんたんだろ。
The traditional Mo Bro looks are below
典型的なモーブロのルックスは以下のとおり。

If you struggle to grow a beard start now.... awareness is awareness! But technically you're not allowed to start early and compete but you can still start now for the sake of awareness!
もしひげをのばしにくい人は早く始めて。認知がたいせつ。ルールはあるけどみんなの意識も大切だから。

Some team mates and friends in Hong Kong are all growing our beards and my dad and brother are too... I will upload photos when the time comes.
香港のチームメイト達や友達は参加してくれる。僕の父と兄も参加してくれることになっている。写真はいずれ載せるつもりだよ。

But on a side note in November if you see a guy with a beard, pat him on the back, give him a hug, whistle at him, do something to encourage him on. Also if u see food or milk or something mixed up in the beard, please inform him.
１１月中にひげをつけている男の人をみかけたら声をかけたり、ハグしてあげたりしてほめてあげてほしい。そして食べ物やミルクがひげにひっかかっていたら教えてあげてね。

I look forward to seeing the bearded men of Hong Kong over the next month.
来月香港にたくさんのひげ男をみかけることをたのしみにしています。

Cheek kissin' チュー？？

A little off topic but just a warning for those traveling, I've been to many different places and currently I'm in Spain. One of the first things that shocked me was the simple act of saying "Hi","Hello", "ola"...

今スペインにいるけど、ここにきて最初にショックを受けたのは挨拶の仕方。

In Spain you kiss each other twice on the cheek even if its the first time to meet someone aka a stranger. Male and female it is customary and between males it is acceptable as well. Normal or weird...?? Not saying its good or bad I mean you could get lucky or very unlucky depending on the stranger, when they last showered... etc etc... Another thing is that in Spain its unspoken fact that u always go for the right cheek, so your left. Again, no idea why.
スペインでは男女を問わず２回キスする。初対面でもだ。ふつう？変？いいともわるいともいわないけどラッキーと思ったりヤダーと思ったり。だって、いつシャワー入ったかもわからないし。そして、いつも相手の右サイドからキスするんだ。もちろん頬だけだよ。

For Japanese I think this is very different. In Japan even a handshake between men is rare. Its more of a greeting from a distance. Almost no contact and at most an awkward hug/ shoulder tap.

日本人にとっては不思議だよね。握手だってあまりしない。あまり触らない人種だよね。

In most of Europe it is a hand shake between men and a hand shake between strangers. In my experience. 

ヨーロッパ人も男同士または初対面の時は握手するだけ。僕の経験だけど。

South America many countries do a cheek kiss going from 1 -3... I'm not sure what it depends on. Probably when that person last showered or how hairy the man's cheeks are. 

南米の国では、チークキスを１回から３回する。きまりがあるのかわからない。シャワーしてるかヒゲもじゃかでキスの回数がかわるのかな。

So as a travel tip not to get caught out, look into greetings as no one likes a awkward hello or goodbye. 

だから旅行する時、挨拶の仕方もある程度分かっている方が良いかも。

My awkward story is I knew this family was a kiss-greeting family so i was ready for 1 and 2... but then the third one came ... me and the mother where kinda eye to eye in way to close range for my comfort ... it was very very awkward. 

And someone once lied to Issey saying that in Hawaii they do 5 kisses and he didn't know so i think he went around the island 5 kissing everyone.... No comment on his IQ.

僕が知っているある家族はキスする家族だから１回から２回のキスのつもりでいたけど３回目！お母さんの顔が目の前にまだあってびっくり。

Well thats all for now.
今日はこの辺で。

motivation モチベション

So I wanted to write about motivation and the things I do to keep me motivated. But while brainstorming ideas me and my padre started talking about Demotivation and what really De-motivates me.

今回モチベションの事話そうと思ったけど父と話しながら何がモチベションをおとす原因になるかを考えた。

1. Long words- Why do people use them? They are not cool or hold greater value than their shorter counterparts, people just think it makes them sound smart....STOP short is the way to go...

2. Discussing politics- Just not a fan.

3. Taxes- Living in Denmark tax is true life sucking.

4. All types of forms- Not a fan and having a long name with a weird background. Me and forms aren't friends.

5. Empty Stadiums- Its a stadium, it shouldn't be empty, do you think gladiators killed each other in empty arenas? Ok I'm not saying Im a gladiator but there needs to be noise and atmosphere.

6. Being hungry- When i have low sugar level I'm definitely one of the top contenders for grumpiest person on the planet.  And people who don't know what "anko" is...shame on you!!

7. People being late-  A friend once said to me, "Better to be late, than wait"... NO... be on time or don't go. Fashionably late is not cool anymore.

8. Stubbing my toe or finger- I've had some hard hits but stubbing your toes can be so so demotivating, its a stay in bed injury. As a side one to this cutting your nail too short and having it hurt for the next 5 days.

9. Airport security check- Yes safety first, but i wear my belt for a reason, I don't really want to take off in public and walk 10meters. And No I didn't wear fresh socks so i wont happily take my shoes off. And no random security check, its the most un-random thing. I've been checked countless number of times.

10. Other people who are demotivated- Its like a infection, when surrounded by people who aren't motivated they suck you down with them. So consider your company.


１。長い言葉。俺別に頭良くないから長い言葉ってかなりめんどいー。簡単で十分です。

２。政治のこと。おもしろくない。

３。税金。デンマークの税金はとにかく高い！

４。申込書。名前が長くて背景も普通じゃないからもっとめんどくさくなる。

５。スタジアムがカラの時。グラディエィターは観客のために戦う。サッカーもファンの為に戦うから大勢のほうがいいし、雰囲気が盛り上がりやる気がでる。

６。おなかがペコペコの時。糖分がおちるとイライラしてくる。あんこを知らない人はかわいそう。

７。遅刻する人。わざと遅れていくのがファッションだった時もあるけど、今はクールじゃないと思う。時間通りに行動しよう。

８。日本語で説明できない。指のけがはいやだ。特に足。やる気が一気になくなる。

９。空港でのセキュリティーチェック。ベルトをはずされたり、靴を脱いだり。飛行機にのるために新しい靴下はくわけじゃない。みんながそうするのではなく、時々そうさせられる。俺はいつもそうさせられる。

１０。やる気がない人がまわりにいる時。自分の気まで吸い込まれそう。だからいつもまわりにいる人要チェック。

A short list. Please feel free to comment what demotivates you...
短いリストです。コメントください。

Me in Hair 俺の髪

Many of you who look at this blog maybe have known me a long time to see all the odd haircuts I do when I'm bored. Or some of you known me only a year or two so only think I have a shaved head. Some of your might not even know me, so I guess thanks for reading to you.

このブログ見てる人達は俺がほとんどボ―ズだと思うてるでしょー？まあーめんどいからほとんどボーズです。けどモヒカン、一回パーマもしました。人生でまず何でも一回して経験していいと思いよー！
