32/There are lots of things that make Japanese cities uniquely awesome, but I think zakkyo are one of the most important and least appreciated ones.

The Japanese are extra terrestrials. They just don't want us to know.

I was wondering, and I hope no one takes this the wrong way, about the way traditional writing is done in Asia - vertical and not horizontal, affects how they design their buildings. I'm a visual, Western person and seeing the business areas in Japan causes me to shut down and not see anything but lots of lights. It's the same in K-town in Manhattan. I see the street level businesses but not the ones on the floors above street level.

Just a thought.

Perhaps tied to that theory that our languages affect the way we think. That, for example, Teutons think different than Latinos/Hispanics because our languages are different.
Maybe our LEFT to RIGHT writing makes us indeed look at things differently than cultures that write UP to DOWN.

Ok, I am serious here. What do you mean IF YOU DON'T make it back? Are there any chances your surgery will be so dire?
Sorry to hear that you got injured to such a degree. But I am hoping you make it back.

Being put under unnerves me. I've never been confident I'll wake up from general anesthesia for some odd reason.

Good luck tomorrow! You'll be fine (and hopefully up and healed soon!

[ponchi101]

Ok. Get it. But, as M8 says, you will be fine. Keep us posted and wish you the best and speediest recovery.

[ti-amie]

You'll be fine.

I think they are related to dolphins though? I could be wrong.

Sort of like we're related to a monkey.

I wonder if that's the pod off the coast of Spain that attacks boats?

[Owendonovan]

Orcas are the largest dolphin species. They also eat dolphins. There's something darkly satisfying about the Orcas off the coast of Spain.
