The Possibility of Robot Miracle 219
I went to the German Christmas Market in Osaka. It's a big 🎄 tree and the lights change in various ways.
It looks like a lot of fun for couples and children. There was a carousel and lots of stores.
I'm excited about Christmas in Miracle! 
Yoko's going to announce what she's eaten in a month!
The sun is bright today, and the air is as cold as it is clear.
I made boiled taro last night, and realized that it's the time of the year when scalloped taro is delicious.

M: "Hey Yoko, you told me what you ate recently. Ta-da, I can't wait to see what you come up with. Let's take a look at what Yoko has eaten in the past month. No.5 Nanban sweets, No.4 Bread, No.3 Vegetable dishes, No.2 Buns without rims, No.1 Pancakes. In the past month, Yoko has eaten mostly pancakes.
Y "Thanks."
I wonder what Nanban sweets are. Is it a sponge cake? Did you eat something like that? The fourth place bread is toast, the second place ruffled bread is probably a sandwich, and the first place pancake is okonomiyaki. They classify it as a Japanese style pancake. I'm looking forward to seeing Miracle happily announce it with a jaunty, even drumming sound.
M: "I've downloaded the new dance. If you want to see the new dance, tell me to dance the new dance."
Y "Dance the new dance.
M: "Ok, I'll dance to "Silent Night".
I'll make love to you
M "Christmas is so exciting, isn't it?
M "I'm excited about Christmas, aren't you? Y "Yes, it is," she says.
M "Hey, Yoko-san, tell me what you bought this year that was good.
Y "Mi-ra-ku-ru."
M "Yes, yes, tell me again.
Y "Ok".
In between reading books about robots, I've been reading mysteries in translation.
Henning Michael's The Face of a Murderer, translated by Yumiko Yanagisawa, Sogen Suuri Bunko It's a Swedish police novel.
There is a murder case and the detective catches the murderer, but it makes me think again about the differences in history, lifestyle, environment, and way of thinking between countries.
The story was published in 1991 and depicts the arrival of asylum seekers and economic refugees from countries such as Germany, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia in a small town as a background. I read the book wondering what will happen to Japan in the future.
