pizza Bismarck

Last week I found a good italian restaurant nearby Tokyo Dome. There are loads of italian restaurants and trattorias round my office. However they serve only spaghetti in lunch time. I really wanted to eat a pizza or other pasta such as penne. Finally I found the restaurant which serves a good pizza. The speciality is pizza Bismarck. The feature is an egg at the centre of the pizza. It was very tasty and I had a question, why is the pizza called Bismarck. Later I checked it on the internet. I could find a page written about it. According to the page the first German chancellor Bismarck used to like eating eggs. However I could not find the relation to pizza. It seems that a pizza and the german name do not have any relations. I think pizza Bismarck is not so popular in Japan. How is it in other countries? The origin of the neme is my big concern for the time being.

my life in Shiga

After leaving my school I studied in an university. The university was located in Shiga prefecture and was so far from Tokyo. I had to live there to lend a flat. I lived near the university beside the lake Biwako. It was very convenient to take only 5 minutes to the university on foot. However the nearest supermarket and the train station lay more than 2 km from my flat. All supermarkets in the city were closed at 8 oclock. This was unimaginable for me. The most supermarkets in Tokyo is opened 9 to 12 oclock in evening. I could not go often supermarket before 8 oclock because I had class or played tennis. Then I had to go to 24 hours open shop (It is called convenience store in Japan). It was bery expensive.
The culture in Shiga was different from in Tokyo. My Japanese and the Japanese in Shiga was different. Of cause I could make myself understood there. I was astonished at these difference, especially the expressions of adjectives and verbs. I could not learn Kansai dialect, nevertheless I had lived there for 4 years. My friends teased me about my dialect.
At first it was difficult for me to get used to live. I could get used to do all the things except the dialect.
