Most of you probably thought that Sweiled has passed on to the Land of the Dead or has moved on in pursuit of other things. Unfortunately, I'm here to inform you that she has not. XD And she is back with a nice chunky present. :D

Yay, thank you so much for the translation! Your skills don't seem too rusty. :D

I liked it when he started talking about how he was Okinawan, and how he thought it made him understand and feel more Okinawan (Well, that's not the way to word it, but whatever) when he left. The poor guy must have been crushed when his friends told him he wasn't Okinawan anymore.

In America, everybody views any Asian as Asians. (Or Chinese, people here like to assume Asians are Chinese) For Americans, it's hard to grasp that Asians don't all hold hands and dance around in their countries as one. (XD, or at least for the ones where I'm at!) But when I went to Japan, I still remember Saori and I walking through and area, and Saori saying, "This is where Koreans live". I was shocked that there was a Korea-area. XD, I didn't think that kind of thing went on in Japan!

Anyway, sorry...I probably started to ramble. XD;; Annnyway~, I think what Gackt and this Leslie dude are trying to do is really great. :D :D

And yay, thanks again for the translation~! :D :D

Yay~ Thanks. X3 And you are welcome, thanks for reading. ^^

(so not used to this damn keyboard XD!)

Yeah, I really love it when he starts talking about his past and childhood and his views on them. :D I think we are pretty similar in that sense... Coz I left Indonesia at a pretty early age too (not as early as him though), but I really do love my country despite the fact that it‘ｓ　politically unstable, generally not safe, blablabla... XD There are many great things about Indonesia; and if we Indonesians dont take pride in our own identity and our own country, then who will? I dont know how I`ll feel if people start telling me I`m not Indonesian. Start breathing fire on them, probably. XO XD

Ahaha, that`s true. But then again, we tend to think of all Westerns as Americans too, so I guess we are equal. XD But yeah, we don`t make that distinction back in Singapore. Everybody is pretty much into the whole racial harmony thing. :3 In comparison, the racism and prejudice towards foreigners is pretty intense in Japan...

Hahaha, nah, keep writing~ I like to talk, remember? XD And you are most welcome, sweetie! *mugglies*
