Actually, yes. I'm very proud of her. She's currently getting her PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. That's hard for me to even spell!

Too bad, I never made it to Ireland...I went to Bath, Stratford, Cambridge/Oxford, Brighton Beach, London & Birmingham.

I have a few in the UK I met online years ago and then in real life, I was really concerned about them when the bombs went off. One girl would have been affected if she hadn't changed jobs a week earlier.

That's okay, I don't know much about what my husband does either.

The cat just made an awful noise while I was typing and I had to share the moment with you all...

Sick thing is...she's at the food bowl eating.

I love those little quirky things that happen in translation.

Once I told my Spanish class that I was "pregnant" instead of "embarassed." You have to know Spanish in order to understand this joke...

I remember our Japanese exchange students in HS. They always brought gifts for their host families and friends they became close with. Gracious people, really.

Japanese people were very nice to a stupid gaijin like me. Crime and theft are virtually non existent.

Yeah, I watched a PBS type thing on their "Lost & Found" system. People bring in everything...they inventory it carefully.

Kokura Castle, Prayer Tree
you write down a prayer, tie it to a tree. When it falls off, the prayer is answered.

I saw that once on the "wedding channel." A couple was getting married and the guests tied well wishes to the tree. I thought that was a nice sentiment.

Which culture is it that they float out memorials with candles onto a body of water?

*God, poof, would kill me for my grammar.*

I think that is moving...I would want to be remembered like that.
