2 more days in Hawaii and then off to Japan/China we go. Monday we have a Love Feast which is like an end of the lecture phase party. We're supposed to dress up, but I don't have any nice clothes at all x.x; I didn't think to bring any before I came cuz I thought they said to bring sucky clothes that we wouldn't mind getting dirty. Apparently they said to dress up a bit for China too (not sure about Japan, but I'm guessing moreso). I guess I'm going to go extreme shopping in China and buy a lot of cheap decent quality clothes for factory price, heck ya xD haha.
I was talking to some people that went there, and this guy was saying he got Diesel clothes for $10!! In Canada, Diesel is a famous brand and sells for usually $100-500 for regular clothing :O! I so want to buy a suitcase and fill it up haha. "I'm here for missions, I'm here for missions, I'm here for missions, I'm here for missions @.@;"
My brother said there's this yellow dust that's been blowing in Korea and Japan. It's apparently from all the pollution in China, and he said in China it gets so thick that you cant see in front of you >.<; It causes lung problems...so hopefully my lungs will be ok...after all they've already been through. I better not end up in the hospital during this missions trip! God heal me!!
Well randomness, but apparently a Korean guy went to Japan to marry his life size pillow with an anime character on it. There's so many things wrong with that statement. First he just HAD to be Korean, second he married his pillow and takes it everywhere he goes, third the anime character is from a children's show about a girl with magical powers (kind of like sailor moon I think), fourth the anime character is like a little kid, fifth Japan actually allows marriages to pillows...etc. Man, our trip to Japan should be interesting haha.
I was talking with some of the white people from my group and told them about the above story and they were like o.O;!!! haha. I also told them some guys look/dress like girls and they were telling me they thought anime was like the weirdest thing haha. Kiley told me that there's a section of Tokyo that's all dedicated to Anime, so maybe I'll go check that out if I remember and see how many old men I see walking around with anime pillows haha.
Well I gotta wake up early on Monday so I'll post more later, see ya all and God bless ^^

AHAHAHAH
ReplyDeleteTrust Koreans to marry Japanese Pillows *caugh* haha it's ok, don't worry, there's this other half Korean guy who ended up in an almost equally ridiculous marriage and I can bet anything he'd have rather been married to a pillow.
However. The law allowing you to marry...stuff...and ficitional characters is not Japanese, I'm pretty sure since it goes in my domain of activity.
Marriage law in Japan: a male and female couple, where the male is over 18 years of age and the female is over 16 years of age, with the required approval of both sides parents if the couple is under 20 years of age.
Either way, he wouldn't be the first crazy man doing crazy things in Japan. However, I will have to admit I'm a bit annoyed with the whole anime thing.
First off, Kiley was probably referring to Akihabara, and she should be a tad bit more informed before making such claims. First off Akihabara is also called Electric Town, ad it's the Games/ Anime/ Electronics shopping area.
It might come as a surprise, but we're not nearly as obsessed with our own anime as westerners are. If you go to Harajuku most cosplayers there are pop culture or video games inspired and while there's a few anime themed maid cafes, the average Japanese person will feel offended if you even as much as mention anime. Seriously, we're fed up with it, we have a lot of other, much more awesome parts of Japan to show.
I guess you'll just have to see for yourself w.
By the way, I do suggest you go to Akiba I think you'll like it.
Oi, why does it seem more likely that a Korean would marry a pillow over a Japanese? :O!! I'd totally think it'd be the other way around.
ReplyDeleteAlso he couldn't marry it in Korea, so he had to fly to Japan to get the ceremony done. Maybe it was allowed because the marriage was publicized? Not too sure how it works, but I guess you would totally know better.
Ya, she was refering to Akiba...but I like how you totally bash anime and pretty much imply that Akiba is one of the most disgraceful places...but that I'll like it >.>; *reaches after a floating away pride*
I'll try to remember not to bring up anime when I tell others about Jesus haha. Wonder which one they'll be more likely to walk away from haha.
Well that is because...
ReplyDeleteTake a world map.
Where's Japan?
Right in the middle of course. Is Korea in the middle? No. Therefor Japan > Korea.
Now, before you take me seriously, the overly intelligent explanation up there doesn't belong to me. Me and Tatsu were chatting a lot last night and he told me about this guy who claimed that. So Tatsu had to show the idiot an European world map to point that, the WORLD is round and continuous, no one place can be in the frickin middle unless you live somewhere in the nucleus (that still makes me laugh) and every region map has said region in the middle, it can go either way. The guy was pissed and told him he had no Yamatodamashii -> Japanese spirit.
I swear Kage is like a magnet to this kind of people w. Nevertheless Japan is the center of the world, for which reason we allowed the Korean guy to marry a pillow so we could then make fun of him and claim to be so much better w. Never mind we have a lot of kids who close themselves in the attic and don't come out for years, THAT is perfectly normal.
Now that we have it out of the way, hey I like Akiba, I'm sorry if I made it sound any different.I'm just understandably annoyed with anime, especially that in England everyone was, oh you're from Japan! anime sushi! *me* Excuse me? Seriously.
I mean, I haven't implied you'd love to go to the red district in Amsterdam ( which by the way I somehow was never able to find?) so it's not that bad. Oh, and don't worry about the religion talk, people here are pretty open minded, I doubt they'll take you guys too seriously, but they'll definitely think it's cool.
People have tried over and over again to make Japan a religious place, but it always fails, and the only thing that always sticks with us is Shinto. Mostly because we're like....HEY! White wedding dresses are awesome but I always wanted a kimono for my wedding too. Hey, let's just do both! Or, i'm just done purifying my house of evil spirits with mantras and salt, but hey, it's Christmas, and we get gifts, so I'm gonna sing some carols about this person named Jesus ( he had long hair and a really impressive father!). You know, that kind of thing.
I have no idea which map this guy was staring at cuz usually Japan is at the far far right of it o.O; Dang, I could totally say such a bad joke, but think I'll pass haha.
ReplyDeleteToyota sushi kappa, eeeh anime toshiba suzuki honda civic desu ka? wwwww xD
Well maybe we'll be the first ones to make a difference xD. Whatever the case, I want to hurry up and get off this boring island!! Hurry up and come China!! I find I get more quiet and passive when I get too used to my surroundings, so I totally want to get away from this place already.
Well, my point exactly. Well, Kage's point that is -> he's making the I'm smarter than you face right now, and I think imma take a second to smack him.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, on a Japanese map Japan IS in the middle. On an american map, America IS in the middle, and finally, on an European Map, Europe is in the middle. Makes sense right? Talking about subtle hints of national pride.
Hai, ore cho kappa desu w. ( Seriously, considering I'm so good with swimming and such w)
And J passed on saying a bad joke?? What did they do to you in Hawaii??! I don't know, you guys have a different approach, maybe it will work, just promise not to try it on me or Kage w.
( Yes, I know there's no way you're gonna promise that)
Whoa, didn't know there were different maps like that o.o; Only seen the European one, but the bad joke was more a racist one about Africa being in the middle haha.
ReplyDeleteSo you ARE a kappa :O! *pulls off wig* haha. I remember I saw an anime where Kappas were really scary water demons unstead of the cute lil ones you usually see in animes. Even though that's more their original context probably, seemed kind of weird haha.
I can't promise such a thing seeing that it's part of my master plan. I'll convert you, then say you need a pastor to travel around the world with you, or how would you have church :O! It'll be my masterful plan to get free trips around the world and stalk a certain rockstar to steal his guitars haha jk jk.
Ah yes, how come I didn't see right through your plan before?
ReplyDeleteBut, God doesn't want you to steal, does he? Better yet, become a rockstar, and buy your own guitars? It's not as evil as your initial plan, but hey, it's failproof...if it doesn't fail.
Haha, not very fail proof seeing that I'm not even near as good as any professionals x.x; Really, don't expect much when you're about to hear me play x.x;
ReplyDeleteI however could become so lovable that people will feel inclined to give me their guitars >=D haha.
Haha you can try that. I suggest you bring steak and all kind of meaty stuff...that's a language you and Kage both speak...and I don't, he might just donate a guitar.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the way you play, I'm not gonna compare to anything, I know how hard it is, remember I've tried myself. I just love guitar, with or without the pro fancy stuff.
I really couldn't sleep tonight for some weird reason, kept waking up every hour *yawn*
It's because you know you won't be able to chat with me for a while :O! haha jk jk AH, if you're online, you should chat with me on MSN!
ReplyDelete*remembers to buy lots of meat* Ah, how I'd love donations xD Donation of any guitar would be extremely appreciated haha jk jk.
I do wonder what rockstars do with all the different guitars they use. I remember seeing several pictures of rockers with like 30-100 guitars in one room (all the ones they've toured and played with or got for free). Seems like most of them would sadly collect dust T.T;
I seriously don't know, keeping even 30 guitars seems selfish and a waste. I guess a lot of them destroy them on stage? Which is obviously very unfair, because there's a lot of talented kids out there who can't even afford one.
ReplyDeleteBut most "rockstars" are known for being selfish asses aren't they?
Well, are you on MSN now? I didn't have internet access earlier today
