Kanji about Love

Hello, everyone!! Sorry to ask suddenly but,,, Do u love anyone? Today, i'll tell u some of Kanji characters. At first, plz check these Kanji characters. We read the left one ‘‘ 恋 Koi ”, and the right one ‘‘ 愛 Ai ”. Both characters mean ‘‘ LOVE ”, and it also find at japanese name(especially in a girl's name). But,,, What's the different between Koi and Ai? There is a delicate difference, and there is no answer. i'll try to explain its delicate differences, Ai means love , and Koi means ‘‘ in love ’’. Ai is just like affection , and Koi is a feeling of ‘‘ crush on someone ’’ ‘‘ romance ” . So, When a mother say to her baby ‘‘i love u.’’, it's 愛 ai . When a boy wants to know a girl's phone-number, it's 恋 koi . When u haven't heard from your boyfriend/girlfriend a week, if u think that he/she is cheating on u with someone, it's Koi . if u are worried that he/she might have met some accident, or illness, it's Ai .

What's this PINK OBJECT!?!?

Hello, everyone!! Today, i wanna show u this thing,,, What do u think this is??? This is Japanese sweets, called SUAMA . According to a dictionary, it is called ‘‘sweet rice cake”in English. But, i wanna call it in English ‘‘ Congratulationsweet ” :P Suama is one of Japanese sweets made by rice cake, and it's popular in east Japan. There are some areas which has a habit to eat Suama when they congratulate someone, or celebrate something :) and we write it in Kanji like this, the first character ‘‘寿”means celebrations, falicitations, best wishes, and long-life, and the second character ‘‘甘”means sweet. so, i think it's not just a sweets made by rice cake.  This is because i called it ‘‘ Conglatulationsweet ”!!! i don't know that how there are some sweets like this all over the world, so it's too difficult to explain its taste. but its mouthfeel is like a dough, sticky, and glutinous, and i like its elegant lightly sweetened taste!! If u visit Japan, plz try SUAMA!!! :) ...
