One of the things that really gets on my nerves is when people get cultures confused. I suppose in this case it was an honest mistake but it still sort of bothers me. Appropriate picture too. :D Oh and thank you for such a great blog and for TJP and TJS. It's amazing how much better my Japanese is thanks to you. Happy Thanksgiving! Tyler Wow.
