Dear Readers,
Starting on Dec. 17th, I will be traveling through Oregon and California for three weeks.
Thanks to the great folks at Gmail for hooking me up with Gmail Mobile, so if anyone has any tips about interesting places to visit, please feel free to email me.
In the meantime, please entertain yourselves with this Japanese etiquette guide about how to properly order and consume sushi.
Happy Holidays

"Ding Dong"
When I saw this photo, the first two questions popped into my mind are:
1. Is the witch dead?
2. Are the fries done?
The four-character phrase (circled in red) on this young man's left forearm is the literal translation that means "the sound of ding-dong".

"Hair Splitting"
http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A51202/high/bmepb174881.jpg
The circled character 亳 is the name of district in Anhui, old captial of Yin.
In one of my previous postings, the owner with the same character tattoo claimed it meant "carpe diem", which is completely wrong.
Or the character should have been 毫 (fine hair; measure of length; 1/1000).
