Friendly reminder de que el art nouveau en su época también se consideró decadante y superfluo por muchos sectores de arquitectos y sociedad en general.
Pues dependerá, yo no llego a los 30 y mis abuelos paternos sufrieron la guerra, mi abuelo llegó a luchar en ella. Mis abuelos maternos por el contrario nacieron en la guerra y sufrieron la postguerra.
Esta es una de las falsedades idiotas de la película. No son nuestros abuelos. Mis abuelos (y mi edad está entre la de estos dos) no tenían ninguno ni 10 años en el 39. Mis bisabuelos vivieron la guerra. Mis abuelos son la generación de la postguerra, no de la guerra.
Todo lo contrario. Tú te pones a leer un texto entero en hiragana y se te cae el alma a los pies. Los kanjis (una vez los conoces) agilizan y facilitan la lectura sobremanera. Es el coreano el que tendría que reintroducir los carácteres chino, no el japonés librarse de ellos
The worst writing system in the world is Japanese, and it's not close. Even the Japanese know this.
My childhood friend is a Japanese-to-English translator, who's worked in and out of Japan for 50 years and has many stories. He told me about a civil court case in Seattle, in which the attorney asked him how to pronounce a certain Japanese person's name. My friend said, "I don't know." The attorney began to mock his translation skills, and my friend explained that for much of Kanji, you CANNOT know the pronunciation till you hear it spoken.
Oddly enough, the best writing system in the world is just across the sea, in Korea.
In the GIF below, I am showing a short moment in the movie Spirited Away, in which the witch magically removes the second syllable in Chihiro's name. This changes Chihiro's name to "Sen" which of course makes absolutely no sense in any language but Japanese. And frankly, it's insane in Japanese too.
@shas_kais If I remember correctly, they have problems with Tzeentchian cults within their borders, they even have a Cathayan name for him, Chi'an Chi.
@Dani_ss01 A mí muchas veces se me hace muy pasivo agresivo. Que yo a tope con las recetas de toda la vida, pero me saca un poco de onda que eche en cara que comas ramen o tequeños.
Los continentes son una creación cultural europea que se aplica sin contradicciones a Europa y tal vez a la europeizada América. En Asia y África las nociones de continentes hacen aguas.
There is no real indigenous East Asian word for "Asia" btw. The word "Asia" derives from a province of the Roman Empire which is now in Turkey. I suspect the only truly local words you can use are "The Confucian World" or "The Sinosphere."

Yes: Elizabeth Taylor is white so Cleopatra was white.
No: Cleopatra was Egyptian so she's not white.
Yes: The ptolemaic dynasty is Greek so Cleopatra was white.
No: Whiteness is a modern construct so racial categories can't be applied to her.
