the last (i.e. immediately preceding) (e.g. "the last mayor")counter for games, rounds, etc.This time, Hong Kong followed on the heels of the first two.
8For some reason, I had more and more opportunities to visit Hong Kong from the late 1900s to the early 1990s. I had interviews and photo shoots, and I had a local friend named K-kun who coordinated everything and took me all over Hong Kong. Hong Kong was still in its pre-Chinese phase. It was an exciting city with inexpensive prices and delicious food.
(after noun, adjective-stem or plain verb) just keepsThe two biggest problems are the air conditioner in the car and the cold inside the building. According to K-kun, this is the hospitality of Hong Kong people. Hong Kong is hot and humid all year round. That's what you would expect. As an aside, in Thailand and Indonesia, beer is always chilled to the brim. It is for the same reason.
Japanese dock (plant) (Rumex japonicus)However, as someone who has had a problem with the coldness of air conditioners since those days, this is a troubling story. It was hot when I went outside, but cold when I went inside. I almost lost my sympathetic nervous system, or rather my physical condition itself, several times.
7th note in the tonic solfa representation of the diatonic scaleI had to wear a thin cotton cardigan over my T-shirt to adjust, but this sea-island cotton item was also very careful, and I didn't feel like leaving it lying around.

the other sideWhen I was moving to a new house in Tokyo, I wondered whether I should get rid of it or not, and was a little surprised when I tried on the sleeves to see if I could still wear it now. I was surprised to find that the sleeves were extremely unattractive. The sleeves were thick, the length was halfway through, and the width was huge. Thinking back, this model is more than 25 years old. It is only natural. Even I, who have a lot of things, was not aware that this one was out of stock. The North Face brand logo is worn and peeling off in places. It's a nice touch, but I can't help it.
just (e.g. "just wait here")Oh, and if you look for such items, you can find a variety of outdoor brands. They are useful, so you might as well get one. So, out of respect for our predecessors, we are posting an updated parka here.
andI remember when I was working for a certain SPA, I was told to write "parka" and had a bit of trouble with them. Thinking back, I was young. I was quite stubborn. But I couldn't show them the dictionary and say, "You know what I mean?
