while cruising around the terrain, i found these extra free tidbits. this terrain can normally be found in the AVA. you'll notice the Daihatsu Landing Barge, which is not found anywhere else. they are a [H]anger spawn point from another base and allow only small tanks and ground vehicles.

No, it's just Japanese Power.

I don't know what you are all so worried about, they are all near-sighted... I read it in the paper!

How we ever won the war with this kind of brain trust manning the presses I will never know.

On a brighter note, the website I found that on is pretty darn cool... now I am learning how to walk: http://www.tofugu.com/guides/namba-aruki/

Yes. Brooke, it may become a Japanese internet classic!

No, it's just Japanese Power.

No, it means electric power.
電力 = でんりょく = denryoku = electric power. The first kanji means electric, the second means power.

Anyone young looking for a secure career field should consider becoming a translator between English and Japanese. It will never be replaced by machine or internet translation.

Huh... well then.  Thank you for the explanation.  I asked someone here at work, and being as that they are a Japanese national, I took their word for it without getting enough context for the translation I suppose.

Hey, what's this?  "Japanese powah". 

Today, I ask again "Ohhhh... Japanese Electricity... orrrr.... Japanese Powah System!"

I'll be back after I go beat them.

Once you learn the fine are of removing your emotions from your assessments of historical events you will come to understand that things happened for a reason under different circumstances that may or may not be comparable with you/we know to be a norm.  Do your best to put yourself in the shoes of a someone back *then*, and also keep in mind that we know today as "ok" may not be in the future.  For instance, if I were to say that in 100 years it will be illegal to own a dog would you think I am crazy?  Probably so.  If someone were to have said in 1765 that "It will be illegal in 100 years to own a slave", the reaction would have been much the same.   :aok

Historical context is a great thing.   :aok

No, I get ya... and I take that into account, it wasn't so much the ignorance I was speaking to, rather the fact that we still prevailed after the Japanese showed us just how wrong we were about a great many of our stereotypes.
