I believe the grammatical structure: Volitional + to + suru means try and do something.
Therefore:
watarou to suru means try to cross.

Again, correct me if i’m wrong.

Hurray for everyone who loves the color black!
It’s my favorite color, too!

But being in Tokyo makes me want to wear colors
because Japanese women are so stylish and often wear
various colors. I’ve actually been shopping like mad recently to add more non-black items to my wardrobe.

暑いからね！because it’s getting hot lately.
I can’t bear the sun scorching down on a black shirt or jacket! I’ll burn!

I know about the blue/green thing… I have had so many arguments with my wife about it!! She even thinks that traffic lights in England (which are a far stronger green than the ones in Japan) are 青い! Strangely she doesn’t have the same misconception about things like, say, grass.

Anyway, keep up the excellent work!

and my answer is still the same like on that day.

My favorite colors most are:

Black黒, Red赤い, Blue青い,Grey灰色, White白い, Green緑, Purple紫色, Yellow黄色,Orangeオレンジ, Gold金, Brown茶色, etc

I like all the colors EXCEPT PINK ピンク yeah I know I’m the only girl from the rest on this earth! But like I say before I don’t follow everybody’s choice even if it means have the whole Universe against me. S_R_C

Now that you mention it, I remember seeing the hand on one of those Tokyo montages you get on TV. Since this was circa 1990s, I wasn’t sure if it meant stop or ‘the face ain’t listening’, so thanks for clearing that up

that said, this isn’t jpod’s endorsement of masaru-kun’s philosophy. hahaha

this phrase is quite famous here and is attributed to Kitano “Beat” Takeshi (thanks to Sachiko-san for pointing that out to me!):
please note the original saying (which has become a kind of proverb) is actually 俳句:

赤信号
皆でわたれば
怖くない

Neil-san, over here Green is sometimes blue, and vice-versa…if that makes sense.

Javizy-san, pedestros! 面白い言葉ですね！ 　Here we’re talking about the pedestros facing a red light or “red man,” actually “red hand.” Or at least I think that what the story says. Re-reading now.

I’m a bit confused here, the best time to cross is during a red light because the cars are stopped, right? Or is this lesson about the pedestrian lights? In the UK, we only have the so-called “red man” and “green man” for pedestros, meaning not safe to cross and safe to cross respectively.
