このブログについて - About this Blog

このブログは思った事を思ったように書くブログです。政治と経済に興味があるので、そっちを重点的に、でも時々どうでもいい日記や、せっかく留学しているので時に留学生らしい日記も書きたいと思ってます。日本語ラベルは基本的に日本語で書かれていて、英語ラベルは基本的に英語で書きます。

This blog is where I write what I want to write. I am interested in politics and economics, so they will be more focused on, but I sometimes write Diaries which nobody really cares. Blogs with labels written in Japanese are basically written in Japanese, and those with English labels are written in English.

In Cairo, Egypt, two police officers were sentenced to seven years in prison because their killing of 28-old man is seen to have caused a revolt. Their killing set off the Egyptian revolution*1.

“About 40 protesters marched through downtown Cairo in the early evening, shouting chants against the ruling military council, which is increasingly seen as thwarting democratic changes and trying to preserve vestiges of the old government.” (New York Times)
