Definitely China and maybe Japan. In American culture I feel sarcasm is fun banter but coming to China and in Chinese it just makes one look like a jerk. I’m less proficient in Japanese so I cannot fully tell how my sarcasm was taken but I’m assuming a similar reception.

Look at the translations for sarcasm: 讽刺，反话.

Looking up the definition of sarcasm in Japanese I have no idea what this kanji is supposed to mean lmao 皮肉

Plenty of sub 7 IMDb cult classics :) you’re missing out

My child has these stuffed animals. So cute!

I personally think Japanese incense typically can have a weaker scent that is fine for me indoors. Indian is super strong typically!

You’re not supposed to fully close your eyes, only mostly. At least in Chan/Zen

What incense are you using? Chinese and Tibetan should not be used in a closed room. Open a window or a door if that’s the case!

Thanks for this post. The first Zen temple I went to I noticed used a certain sized incense stick that went for 25 minutes. It was the head priests job to watch it. The comment about smell is nonsense, it lingers. A typically Japanese incense stick is about 25 minutes. Maybe 5 inches long.

Also if you sat enough to notice your body will start to go numb at a certain point. My legs go also at around 20-30 minutes so that’s easy lol

Check yahoo auctions too. If you find a reasonable one and pay for shipping I could buy it in Japan. Or I could just scan it for you.

You're (ur) insane if you think the godparent tradition is a cult. It does not solely mean forcing them to be Christian.

That's nice! Also shows you took care of them as I imagine a godparent should
