Day 4?

Today?

1.)    The Arabian Peninsula has the same round farms the States have…interesting. The round farms work by having a well dug in the center and then extending a long arm out, usually by about 1000 meters (3280 feet or so). But salt is currently leaking into the ground water, so it’s becoming even more difficult to farm.

2.)    My cousins and their friends sang their signature song, Come Sail Away by Styx at my cousin’s wedding reception. It was epic.

3.)    Japanese mozzarella seems to be passable. But it also seems to trigger my lactose intolerance. D:

4.)    Pushpa Basnet has been named CNN hero of the year due to her work in saving children from prisons. In Nepal, it’s common for incarcerated mothers to live with their children in prison, where the conditions are very harsh.

5.)    Bonsai trees can be several hundred years old. The most expensive bonsai tree was sold for around $1 million.

6.)    I’m having extreme difficulties understanding how to use gender and declensions in a language. Good thing Japanese has nothing of the sort.

7.)    If you ever want to buy a pair of headphones, don’t go with Skullcandy or some other expensive ass brand. Buy a pair of Sennheiser’s. Mine were $30, sound fantastic and have so far, lasted me 2 years.

8.)    My friend is now friends with the guy who founded Omegle.

9.)    There are currently flights from Tokyo to Dulles at $1356. Still much too expensive.

10.) The Pope opened a Twitter. Wtf?
