A day of surprises
Saturday, May 1st, 2010 01:32 pmMy heavens, there really *is* a Water Tribe in China. (Image-heavy slow-loading article on China's official 56 ethnic minorities.)

shinymonkey comes back from NY with chilling JLPT 1 textbooks from takumashii, and as we wait for her homeward bus tells me chilling stories of seeing ghosts in Japan. Biking home from work late at night, people out in the rice fields working. 'How did you know they were ghosts?' 'I could see through them.' The Japanese, sheesh. What do you wanna do in your afterlife? Work, of course. I always felt Japan didn't have enough there there to support ghosts, but Gunma was where the Christians holed up in, which doubtless makes Gunma weird by definition. There were no ghosts in the late night cabbage fields of Heiwadai, I assure you.
