a perfect example

as some of you might know(namely, my entire class)...i dislike japan. it's like, we're both north poles. it's like, we're both south poles. no, we're not identical...it's just that we dont attract. that's all.

and i found a perfect example while reading a fiction-"Lost and Found" by Carolyn Parkhurst...besides all the artificiality and normalities that are so different from our wonderful malaysia(with the exception of great food...).

here's the extract:
"Abby fills me in on what she's reading. Theme parks seem to be popular in Japan; in addition to Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan, there's a Space World, a Sea Paradise, and an Adventure World. There are parks where visitors can pretend they're in Germany, Spain, and Denmark. There's a ramen museum, a curry museum, and a pot sticker "stadium", all with their own food-related attractions. The frivolity of it bothers me; there's something excessive about an amusement park based on dumplings."

so,yea. they take their artificiality in extreme. that's nice.

• if i'd like food from different places, i wouldnt go to a theme park. i'd go to marche.
• if i wanted to see different kinds of ramen, i'd go to the grocery store.
• well, in my opinion, i like dumplings the way they are in yum cha. and not things you sit on a merry-go-round.
• what the hell's a pot-sticker stadium?
• just checked- a chinese wonton dumpling which is pan-fried until brown on one side, then turned and simmered in a small amount of broth. sounds like wo tip...nice.
• i just realised they turned a chinese dumpling into an japanese amusement park. how sick is that? ...and i thought they didnt have enough land.
