私は仏教徒なんですが、この場所を訪れるのが好きです。
I am a Buddhist*. But I like visiting this place, the Ancient Spanish Monastery (Monasterio Español de Sacramenia).
住んでいるところから少し離れたところにありますが…
It is located a little far from my home…
* I can visit historical sites.
Quiero comprar una nueva camara…

Beautiful
Thank you! 😊 I want to get a new camera…😅
How wonderful is that Spanish Monastery but I have a different feeling, small one in my mind. May I express that?
Well, before you permit me to do so, I express my delight in having your ancient Japanese wind passing through my abode. I mean, I have great regards for ancient Japanese civilisation. In addition to that my excitement is because of your profile info of translator. I’m a Ph D in Translation. Thank you!
Thank you very much for liking my post on Music Trust! 🙏
Thank you very much. 🙏I am glad to hear that you have a PhD in Translation. If you need a translation from English or Spanish to Japanese, please let me know anytime. 😊
Sure! Thanks!
I remembered all martial arts movies on backdrop of traditional monasteries in China & Japan.
I think they too must be as marvellous as this Spanish one which you have photographed.
I remember that monastery in Kurusawa’s movie made of wood and how those protagonists spend night in chilly weather there .. rain drops from roof etc ..
I remembered all that thinking of you being Japanese.
You are a Lili (I think Violet in English) like that of Wordsworth’s Lucy by a mossy stone.
Yes, I will approach you. Similarly, if any of your acquaintances wants to translate a book from English into Hindi, Marathi, approach me.
It seems you didn’t approve my comment (stating I like ancient Japanese monastery shown in Akira Kurosawa’s films). That’s ok 🙏
Hello, I am sorry. Due to the hurricane, my internet connection was unstable yesterday. 🙏 I read your comments today.
I am surprised that you know Kurosawa movies. Is Kurosawa famous in India?
I want to ask you…What is the meaning/term of “Bollywood” in India?
I like Bollywood movies and sometimes I watch them. My favorite actor is Shah Rukh Khan.
Most Japanese people think like Bollywood movies = Hindi movies (I think so…). But there are other language movies. For example, Marathi (your language), Tamil, Telugu and English…
I am also interested in the number of TV channels/stations in India.
Japan is only Japanese…
Thank you for your comments.😊
Bollywood refers to movies made in Bombay. It should have been Punewood or Kolhapurwood because first movies and many movie makers came from these two places Kolhapur & Pune but Bombay being financial hub movie industry made it a place to prosper. Hindi movies were primarily made in Bombay (Mumbai now) but they were made in all other parts of India including Madras (now Chennai). I will continue …
OK, so Bollywood movies mean primarily Hindi movies, but not all Indian movies (the word Bollywood is Bombay + Hollywood).
What are other language movies called in India? How do people watch different language dramas and movies? With subtitles? How do you communicate with other language speakers in India?
I am sorry to ask you many questions. 🙏 I am interested.
I used to have Chinese friends. One was from Shanghai and a Mandarin speaker. The other one was from Hong Kong and a Cantonese speaker. I didn’t know either, so we communicated in English. 🙂
Mandarin and Cantonese are different languages. In Chinese and Japanese, the writing system (kanji characters) is somewhat similar, but pronunciation and sentence structure are different.
I will reply, now busy
South Indian films are Tollywood etc. people watch with subtitles in English. They communicate in respective languages, Hindi & English.
Thank you.🙏😊
