I recently read CH, and it has become my all time favorite peice of steampunk literature! Stumbling across this page forced me to realize why I love Cristof so much…he really does remind me of Kyouya! Can’t wait for the sequel!

Comment on Clothing: Six Items or Less by ninelegyak

Living in a place where the seasons change gives me an excuse not to wear the same things over and over and to go shopping for at least one new outfit each season (and to put a dying outfit to rest). If I lived closer to the equator, I can see myself wearing outfits to tatters, which I already do with the one pair of casual shoes I own.

I wonder if there’s a study about minimalism and political sensibilities about class.

Minamilisme isnt the way, miserabalisme is.

Thanks a lot for putting up such a detailed travellogue of this. I enjoyed reading myself through your impressions. An LJ friend of mine recently put up her own impressions of a Japan trip she took with her sister last year.

Umm, I am probably outing myself here but Saint Oniisan has had some chapters scanlated in the US.

I wonder if the lack of support and volunteers is because – like Germany – Japan has more state-run support systems in place. Over here people do volunteer work, but mostly for things like sports clubs, not humanitarian effort.
Although firefighters (especially at a small town local level), red cross and technical support teams for disaster occasions have a lot of volunteers as well.

Well, I read it in the original, but I’m glad to be able to recommend it to fellow Germans now.

Comment on Takarazuka & Fugu by drupagliassotti

LOL — no, it turns out that’s a sign that some poison remains in the fish. Perhaps the prove-I’m-tough yakuza eat it that way, but a major restaurant wouldn’t take that risk with its customers! The poison is fast, fatal, and has no cure, after all…. Actually, I’ve read that a poison-free blowfish has been bred in recent years, so it’s quite possible they don’t even serve the deadly variety any more.

So…did the fugu leave your lips numb?
