    I can assure you that no harm will come from swimming on your period and using a tampon. American girls and women do it all of the time. Also, doctors recommend exercise to help relieve light to moderate cramps.

    To answer concerns about tampon use: The vagina is an elastic tube, It stretches sideways to accommodate the tampon and then stays mostly closed around it. Imagine you took a long, skinny balloon and put a large gumball inside, halfway up. The balloon would stay expanded only where the gumball was, leaving the rest normal

    Pachinko's system reminds me of the system here in Nebraska--we have these machines similar to video games where people play for "credits", and then a ticket is given that is traded for money. It slipped through the loophole of the gambling laws here and now they're springing up everywhere in bars and convenience stores.

    Palestine is the name Romans gave to the land of Israel, a full 500 years before the birth of Islam. Palestinians are rightly any person of Jewish ancestry because the Romans gave that name to the land as a sign of humiliation to the Jews. The name is derived from the Philistines, a pesky neighbor of the land of the Jews.

    The food in Japan is not healthy but it’s better than the USA. Example: eggs. You can eat raw eggs in Japan and it’s almost unheard of here because of how bad regulation is with eggs. Meat. They have a thing on packages to show expired meat. USA? We had expired meat out for two days and never mark down stuff near the due date. Bread? It’s frozen never fresh.

    Shogo has taught me everything about the katana. I have been a fan of the katana for a long time. When I was living in the state of California, I dreamt about having a katana in my hands and learning how to use it like a samurai.

    So i really wondered how exactly if they had to seppuku a baby, as they did in Shogun, how would they go about that? I'm guessing you don't open the babys stomach. How does that process work? I can't find any references to support the how. Maybe it doesn't exist because of the nature of the execution

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful information and the beautiful kimonos. I love learning more about this beautiful garment and the Japanese culture! And thank you also for being so generous with sharing it with all of us, it’s refreshing to hear your viewpoint and knowing that we can be a part of your beautiful culture as well! It’s amazing to see the care that goes into the way it is worn and styled, and it adds to the respect I have already had knowing how much work goes into the making of them as well. They are treasures to be enjoyed for as long as we have them!

    It is interesting that out of all the western countries, Japan would form ties to the Netherlands, which is perhaps the least hierarchical, the most individualistic, and most anti-authoritarian of all of them, and during the golden age at least was one of the most multi-cultural.

    Curves do nothing for balance and certainly don't increase sharpness. 1: Balance is impacted by the profile taper and distal taper of a blade and also by the weight of the handle in relation to the blade, a curve does nothing to make a sword feel lighter, especially a light curve as it is on the Katana. It does however make you feel the edge alignment better. 2: Sharpness is a combination of edge profile (or thinness) and level of polishing. A curve does not make anything sharper.
