Today I found the word which I did not know.  It was written as "エギ(egi)" in katakana (カタカナ).  Do you know what it is? 
It was the abbreviation of "エギタリアン(eggitarian)."  Can you imagine what it is?
It seems this word is used in India.  It is a vegetarian who eats eggs and vegetables. 
There are many kinds of vegetarian.  A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs , an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a vegan or strict vegetarian diet excludes all  animal products including eggs, dairy and honey.
I like to eat delicious foods so I am not a vegetarian at all. How about you?

2012.7.10

It's been already 10 days since July started.  One third of the month was over.  How fast time flies!

First 10 days called shojun (初旬) or jyojun (上旬), next 10 days is chujun (中旬), and the last 10 days is gejun (下旬) in Japanese.
Sho (初) means first, jyo (上) means upper, chu (中) means middle, and ge (下) means under or below.
