A bike would be unstable when you get off and push it with children on it. :cry:　気をつけてくださいね！:wink: Darren-san,

It is the hoikuen we're biking to, and they are generally not at the stations!! By the way, I often bike around with two children, though as they get bigger I have to get off and push for more and more hills. I've even seen mothers with three: one on the front, one on the back and a baby strapped to her back. 尊敬しちゃう！ Usui-san’s comment about living closer to the station is obviously バカを言うにもほどがある (is that right usage?), but I disagree with Kana-san that if you can afford it is best.

I noticed that 220 kanji's may be added to the official jouyou kanji list. After spending 750 hours to learn the 1945 jouyou kanji's over 6 months I am not very pleased. Is 1945 not enough?Anyway, my request: Is it possible to create a PDF list with the on and kun readings for the additional 220 kanji's. I would like to learn these sooner rather than later. There are no kanji cards available after 1945, and I don't have any material with these reading. All my kanji dictionary's also only go up to 1945.MANY MANY thanks,Pieter. I have a big request.

You can present topical subjects in a more interesting way than a newscast, with more room for the usual wackiness. This topic didn't seem particularly interesting, but it turned out to be a good series because of the way it was presented :cool: It offered a bit of cultural insight as well, so hopefully there's a return to the (TV) studio at some point :wink: I like this talk-show format.
