HAPPY HOUR

Because disqus is such a fun place and everyone gets on so well ,I thought it would be nice to post a fun thread.

Only joking,but here's some jokes anyway.

Is everybody happy!

It's not so long ago

Before Meiji era, unless Edo era, there was a legal system called "Adauchi" in Japan.
Written like 仇討ち, read like Adauchi.

It's an overt system to accomplish a vengeance and only someone's family can do that.
When someone was killed by someone else, his family could make a submission to authorities and when they could get a permission, the bereaved family could kill the assailant legally.

So the assailant, who knew that the permission was granted, was going to run, hide, so not to be found.
The family follows, over and over and when they find him, they show out the permission paper, introduce themselves to tell the assailant who they are, and why they need to do adauchi, and then try to kill him.
That's the strict manner for it, should not just assault him and kill him.
The bereaved family was allowed to attack the assailant all by themselves, like multiple members of the family, and the assailant was allowed to fight back, by his own, but no one should help any side of people when the showdown happens.
Sometimes the family failed, sometimes succeeded.

It's not so long ago, only 140 years ago still there was such system.

Heat is critical for life in Japan

So Paul's blog seems to be a big success, except for the annoying warning that required me of one more click.

It's too hot and humid in here as well but we use air condition all through the summer otherwise we may die.
Really.
By each year certain number of people die for heat in Japan.

I heard that in France, people often have no air condition to cool the room because France is cold.
Maybe in Britain as well, I don't know.

Humidity is a common issue in Asia and we are rather less bad in this criteria, like south east Asia is more humid, some girl I used to know went to Bankok or somewhere and she said she just passed out for the heat and humidity when she arrived at the airport.

Korea is said to be colder, its winter seems to be harsh.
They have a special system for warming, called Ondor, I don't know how to spell.

I ever watched some British TV drama where a main character always wears a duffle coat. All season.
Forgot the name.
That's not possible in Japan and we need really many features to get on each season, from what we wear to what makes us not die.
I honestly don't like the weather of my country and I don't need seasonal changes, anyway, people live with it and enjoy.
