As a Filipino of Chinese descent, I have a few guesses. I think it depends on several factors like where they were born, religion, etc. I think it’s not unusual for East Asians (China, Korea, Japan) to use a secondary English name especially if there’s no easy english equivalent. NBA players like Rui Hachimura (like…
January 1 2018 midnight, I was at Dotomburi with my mom and siblings. We were hoping for some fireworks or some other form of celebration, instead we saw several people jump into the water. There were even a couple of ladies who jumped. One of them had a hard time climbing the side so she fell back into the water…
If you dye it orange, it can become a hockey mascot.
Oh sweet dragonite
As gentle as a calm breeze
As fierce as a storm
Myeongdong is a great place for women who like cosmetics. I think the stores there often give out free samples if you buy something. My female friends had a blast buying all sorts of cosmetics. The boyfriends not as much because they were the ones carrying all those skin care products after haha.
I find it fascinating that being bilingual is now a thing in America, aside from Asian Americans and maybe Hispanics. I have never been there and my impressions based on what I see in the news is Americans don’t like foreign languages. To be fair though, I’ve only started paying attention to US news around 2-3 years…
In the end he got his Just Desserts :)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because people are human beings and human beings are not rational most of the time??
I think it’s because people are drawn to tribalism. Having someone by your side and an “enemy” to fight together is common in stories, history, sports, politics, etc.
I’m 27. I just found out that xlb means little basket bun. I have never seen the Chinese character and I have always thought that the “long” was dragon, as in little dragon bag... (☉_☉)
What I like to do is wait until it’s not too hot then put the entire piece in my mouth. I’m not a fan of sauces in general, especially black vineger. Once inside, I start eating it. If the soup is delicious, it will be an explosion of flavor when I bite it 🤤
I was hesitant to try it out at first because I don’t like melons but I found out that it doesn’t actually contain melons. I tried it and I liked it. I usually pick that at bakeshops whenever we visit Japan. There’s a food truck near the Dotonburi river that sells ice cream sandwiches using melon pan.
I told my sister that Starlord was still in character. Even in the previous movies he has always been an impulsive, immature guy who tries (and succeeds) to do the right thing. After thinking about it, maybe the only way they can win is to get Thanos to use and presumably destroy his gauntlet. Even if they did succeed…
I’m not condoning China’s stance on this issue but I have read several reasons why they are still supporting North Korea. First, it serves as a sort of buffer zone against the US. After WW2 South Korea, US had a strong presence in SK. I forgot the title of the history book but this is what I remember. When NK tried to…
From what I read elsewhere, the missile defense system issue isn’t as simply about South Korea being able to defend itself. It is a highly advanced detection system and China believes that South Korea and its allies (mainly, the US) will use it to spy on China. If I remember correctly, the radar system is supposedly…
You wrote a haiku
I use a simplified version of this. It used to be in Evernote but I’ve switched to OneNote. I have a checklist that I usually prepare months in advance then add or subtract items before the trip. When I’m done with it, I send my list to an archives section then copy paste the contents for my next trip and adjust…
I read manga more than I watch anime. Shounen action mangas often uses ecchi tropes. Dragon Ball has a little boy Goku innocently stealing Bulma’s panties. Naruto has a sexy transformation jutsu. Ranma 1/2 had an underwear thieving grandpa. Other examples: History’s Strongest Disciple, Negima, GTO. They tend to use…
