Good but long day
The worst of the week is over. Photography is continuing to advance and is oh so fun. Spanish is still frustrating, but this chapter is a bit easier. History is fascinating.
And now for the main point of my post. The chinese mindset about family and social circles were explained early on, and boy did it clear some things up about asian culture in general. In terms of this circle of fanatics, the context of Furuba (Fruits Basket, for those who do not know) makes so much more sense, in particular the importance of the family name, education, social status, mannerisms, and why the Sohma family live under one big generational roof. I plan to write a little essay on that, just for my own pleasure (and partly to improve my essay writing skills -_-). I'll post it whenever that is done.
Oh, and one more little tidbit for you to ponder on! The Great Wall of China is not made of brick, as it appears to: it's packed dirt with a brick face, really. Thus, it was really easy for nomads to break on their raids.
Plus--this will gross some of you out--whenever a worker on working on the wall died (a lot of whom were criminals), their bodies were used as filler in the wall.
There is your lesson for the day kiddies! Ja ne!
