Posted in: 8 elderly climbers perish on 3 mountains in Northern Alps See in context
To say they were climbers sound like they were professionals, but they are nothing more than tourists. What were they thinking?! they were wearing only T-shirts and light windbreakers. Japanese sense of 'Abunai' (危ない) is totally different to most people. They love to concentrate on silly things like what a child should know. But when it comes to stuff like this, common sense is out the window.

It's funny how come most of my friends who married early look 20 years older than i do. I think the best advice is don't marry until you done and achieved most of the things you want to do, cause once your married you won't have a chance.

Posted in: Living in a country as a minority See in context
These comparisons are getting boring. Being a minority in western societies like Canada isn't a big deal. People may be curious to know where your from, after that once they get to know you , your just like everyone else. Try living in a third world country they will stare at you like a animal and you stick out like a sore thumb. But all in all people are friendly mostly everywhere.
