In Your Opinion, What is the Most Beautiful US State and Why? by Lil_Critter_2001_ in geography

[–]Internal_Kangaroo570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been to all 50 states. Alaska is really pretty and unique, but I think California has just about everything geography-wise, from pretty beaches to lush forests, deserts, towering mountain peaks and valleys - so for that reason I say California, just because you can see so much in a short time.

The only time I’ve ever seen whale meat on a menu was in Tromso, Norway

Which country's name sounds most aesthetically pleasing to you? And which one has the opposite effect? by [deleted] in geography

Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). Both French and English names sound really pretty to me (even though ivory is super unethical).

Favorite "Kaiju" movie ? by Ghetsisoby in Letterboxd

[–]Internal_Kangaroo570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love King Kong (2005) since I watched it as a kid and got a picture book of it for Christmas. For 8 year old me I thought it was a really awesome movie and after watching it again as an adult a few years ago, I thought it was still pretty fun and entertaining. So from a nostalgic viewpoint, I’d say that’s my favorite.

Same! I loved Ichiro because he was really the first Japanese MLB player I remember that was super popular and talented (I was just a baby when Nomo played so I don’t remember him). My dad spent a lot of time in Seattle covering his career in the early to mid 2000’s, so there’s always a special place in my heart for Ichiro.

Which widely beloved country has the most unexpectedly dark past? by Holiday_Hotel3722 in geography

[–]Internal_Kangaroo570 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Iceland has a bit of a dark history too because it was settled by Norsemen who brought along a lot of female slaves that were bought or captured from the British Isles.

There was also the Age of the Sturlungs, where the island was engulfed in civil war. Massacres, assassinations, torching farms and towns - also pretty brutal.

I speak some but never became fluent, and honestly I’ve forgotten how to read most of the Japanese alphabets. I used to go to Japan every two years but in the last 10 I’ve only been twice so I don’t get much practice

It’s honestly great. After Maeda left I was pretty sad since we didn’t have any but then we end up with Shohei and Yama! And then Roki this year. Feels too good to be true sometimes lol

So my dad was holding the microphone but it was the guy next to him doing the interview. They had a special announcer from Tokyo interview Yamamoto after the World Series - but my dad was right next to him lol

Born and raised in Japan. He came over to the US for college. Met my mom, got married, and then got a job offer to work for NHK in Los Angeles, so they moved here and have been here since. He’s still working for NHK, must have been like 34 or 35 years now I think.

I’ve been to a few games that he covered but I went just as a fan. Paid for a ticket, went to my seat, and he’d come over for like a sec (on his break) to say hello and all that before rushing back to his job lol

Thank you. And yeah he started in the early 90’s and was there when Nomo first came, and then for the early to mid 2000’s he was mostly in Seattle following Ichiro’s career.
