I just in less than 24 hours, read and saw videos online of two amazing stories about animals.

Tokyo-
A parrot gets lost from his house, then tells a person who finds him the exact street address of where he lived. The man returned him to his house where his owner was stunned.

Out in the sea-
Japanese fisherman filmed the longest flight ever on film... of a flying fish. 45 seconds.

Japan is cooler by far. All Korea has is bitchy little dogs with pink ears.

I don't know how "cool" it is , but Japan certainly is more quirky and interesting. Check out the series "Japanorama" and gawk.

That is so cool.

And it adds so much potential to deep sea fishing. Now you can reel em in, or take em out with a .22! I'd be all over that.

Being a gun toting American, I'll have to agree with you on that.

At the expense of giving fuel to the believes of certain groups that us male ESL teachers really came here for the women, I have to say - The women are way more sexy in Japan. Korean women LOOK better, but they are NOT sexy. Japanese women - you rock! Korean food is better in general though as more variation, I like Japanese food, but it can get kind of bland and limited. Japanese movies however kick Korean movies' arse big time. As do basically any Japanese aesthetic form. Um, the ESL salaries are better in Korea. Japanese language sounds more pleasant to the ear. But do the Japanese have gyms at the top of their mountains? Ha, don't think so, Korea wins that one!
