What's your alma mater?
Submitted by Lies.

Huh, what's 'alma mater'???

Alma mater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Alma mater is Latin for "nourishing mother". ..... in the English language, it is often used in place of the name of the university or college a person has attended.

Ah, I see. It is called "bokou" in Japanese, meaning "mother school".
My alma mater is the Kyoto University. It has located on western part of Japan.
In those day I had commuted from my home in Osaka. It takes one and half hours. I usually sleep or lend and read some novels from my friend.
From Osaka to Kyoto Keihan Express were ran. It has a car with two floor and the lower floor was my favorite space.

Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place?  What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

Aha, it's a little difficult question for me. Everytime I asked this sort of question, I hardly answered it. mmm.... I like some "mathematical" musics, for example The Pachelbel's canon and Hot Butter's "Popcorn". And... ah I also like Ventures' "Pipeline" and Piazzolla's Libertango. Do you remember Libertango played by Yo-Yo Ma? I like the music very much and my friend Uda can play it with his self-invented instruments. It is astonishing! You can see the picture of his instruments here:

I can't describe it in English but its sounds are very excellent!
