Shopping, make up, basically dolling myself up, watching kdramas and reading.

i would love to hear that did you know that japanese dogs go "won-won" and that japanese cats go "nyongo"?

I once went by coach from London to Aberystwyth (10 hours in total!! !), and have never seen so many sheep in all my life as on the section between the Welsh border west of Telford and Aberystwyth.

We were fascinated by the Korean equivalents as my youngest brothers wife came from Korea. The unusual onomatopoeias.... Fascinating how they seem to work like that through different languages. Korean dogs go " Mong, mong". Never having gone to Korea... They may actually sound like that!
No, I don't fancy travelling abroad. I have been invited almost all over the world. I love to hear about things. My brothers wife speaks quite a few different languages. She is very talented. My brother is very slowly learning Korean just in case. They were married three times in about two months.

my japanese mother told me about the dogs and cats and asked me, "are you SURE you don't hear them like that as well?" also, she could not "hear" the american hard R sound, it sounded like "AAHW" to her with none of the hard "ERRRRR" part of it. can you tell me why your brother and wife were married 3 times in two months?

Well. There is a registra that does marriages a few doors down from the place she works and they live. It is much cheaper but they don't do Christian marriages, so they had an unofficial marriage just before that. The registra marriage was just really to make it legal. Then, when they went to Korea they were married again so it was official over there too! So there's no denying it. They are definitely married!

well i hope to hell they never ever have to get 3 divorces!

The sheep here are all very intelligent. In fact, they're all outstanding in their field.

(Ouch... sorry for that)

Haven't you heard of "We keep a welcome in the hillside"... Actually 10 hours is quite quick. It takes me almost that to get from here in South Wales to Aberystwyth and back as the roads are so windy. The roads in Wales are strange in that they seem to be made with Londoners in mind. Travel from London to Wales and the roads are wide and had massive investments in them. Travel from south to north or from north to south within Wales and it is actually quicker to head all the way east into England and then up and then west back into Wales then go direct north to south. (Even though going round is around three times the distance).
I always travel through Wales as I am happy doing that. The thought of crossing the boarder into England... Well. Put it this way. I don't mind going slightly over to get to places like Hay On Wye etc, but steady on... I am Welsh you know! Apart from that I am on edge to travel across the boarder. Within the Welsh countryside I feel safe and at ease.

I can vouch for long long long windy roads in Wales and it takes ages to get anywhere. Plenty to see while you're travelling though... lovely countryside. I've spent more time in north Wales, don't know mid Wales and south Wales that well.

Basically South Wales is generally covered with hills which are interrupted with the occasional mountain.
Mid Wales is mountainous interrupted with hills.
North Wales has rocky mountains and mountains.

I used to be in the Clwyd sub aqua club (a long time ago now). We'd dive around the North Wales coast... mostly Ynys Môn and the Llŷn peninsula... and in the winter we'd dive in flooded slate quarries in the hills. In some ways the winter was better... spectacular scenery in them thar hills.

ThoughI am in the South not that far away from Burry Port and the Gower, whenever I go to the Porthmadog area in North Wales I feel like I am coming home. I would love to live up there. It is like it is calling me...

- Going for walks if there are not many people around in my neighbourhood. (and also listening to my favourite music when I'm out of walks)

- Playing a lot of videogames, especially CIV VI and Elder Scrolls! (but also The Witcher 3!)

- I don't do sports, I'm considering starting to boxe when i'm on meltdowns so I discharge my negative energy on an object rathen than on people.

- I like to study a lot of economics, although I become very angry when there is math involved because I can't understand it at all.......

- Reading history books

- Watching politics and at the moment I am trying to learn from it because I want to become a politician one day

Nice. It would be nice to hear your political ideas.

The word for cat in most languages sounds like cat or the sound a cat makes.

German-Katze (female), Kater (male)
Spanish-Gato
Italian-Gatto
Russian-Kot
Chinese-Mao
Japanese-Neko (sounds like the chattering sound kitties make when watching birds)

The Serbian word is "machka," which sounds like a really cute name for a cat.
