    Should make all buildings from that stuff! If you're ever in Nagasaki and someone drops and nuclear bomb, or there's an earthquake, shelter under that!

    Shinto has tied Bhuddist ancestor worship to its core guidelines, so there are loose ties. Shinto is generally used to celebrate births and funerals are usually Bhuddist.

    That second arch is from Otsuchi too, not Nagasaki.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Boo Hiss - don't ruin the story! It is of course the mystic arch that the dragon flew through that went off to smite the hateful protagonists of these disasters... Sorry too much manga.

    And not forgetting that Nagasaki is like over a thousand kilometres away from Fukushima, and on the other coast.

    Indeed. I didn't want to be too brutal though.

    Better tell the dudes rebuilding Christchurch about that stuff...(and the gummint will probably say "too expensive, use pine instead...")
