Custard apple is similar family of jack fruit. There is on the tree.












How to eat of custard apple, peel and remove black seeds. It's texture is like banana, and taste is like pineapple.

It is rare fruit. But do not eat a lot, because it has effect to the body. It makes the body cold.




It is custard apple juice with some sugar. It is delicious.

Sri-Lanka has been raining for long time, too wet, so has been many mosquitoes. Sri-Lanka's mosquito is docile and slowly comparison with Japanese mosquito. But, if we are off guard, will got a lot of mosquito bites.

"HATE" is to use Facebook - Google Translation said.

Hi, it is NISHIO Hirokazu. My colleague SUZUKI Shoma told me an interesting miss-translation.

"He HATE it" means "He uses Facebook" in Japanese, Google Translation answers such a ridiculous translation.



I'm interested in why it happened. Maybe Google Translation uses machine learning from their corpus and in it "HATE" and "use Facebook" may strongly related. What a strange corpus is it! Where it come from?



P.S.
SUZUKI Shoma said the original is Google Translate Answers What Most Googlers Won't.
