What's 'Zen Ya'?

What's 'Zen Ya'?
2006.04.05 3:16

All night long I was transcribing my past works written in Japanese into Romanised form. Japanese language is totally transcribable in English alphabet, but usually they don't do. Yet as long as they write as they speak, they are not going to face serious problems as to how to write down their national language.
Recently I've been visiting Slashdot Jp, there they are wondering whether I am really a Japanese. So that was one of the reason I posted my Japanese writings in Slashdot Jp, they will soon realise I was very senior in writings in Japanese.
The 'Zen Ya' means 'the Zen=Previous Ya=Night', literary it's the same as the Eve.

So Zen Buddhism is "Previous to Buddha"?

I was anticipating comments like this. It's my fault, I didn't fully explain it. You see if you say 'I want to play in a pool bar' I understand you want to play billiards since I know pool means two -water cistern and a ball game. But someone doesn't know these difference, probably asks, a pool bar? A bar with a pool? Or Bar means many -rod, lounge, jurisdiction, etc. This time is similar and much more complicated, the sound of Japanese is so limited that just the sound Zen means five or six usually. Sometimes in America, they too confuse what's American Bar Association, security company (usually security-guard, securities-bonds but some don't tell).

When I was on my honeymoon- the "pool bar" was a floating Tiki Bar in the pool that you could swim up to to get drinks (seems to be a highly popular concept in Florida- I have a tendency to stay out of those Southern states, they're crazy down there). So yes, I do know what you mean....
