RE: Top 3 Fields in Which the Japanese Have Achieved Perfection (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–12 … My Adventures in Japan)

Simplicity, peace, and tranquility. That's what you get in the typical Zen garden.

(But check out the horror story re Zen garden in the following post.)

Sort:  

I have never read an horror story from you

Waiting with bated breath :)

It's posted. The horror story is short but horrible. Zen garden ... with LOUDSPEAKERS!!!!!!!!!

And there's another horror story about Japanese orthodontics. Ugh.

By the way, as an English teacher, I'd like to commend you on your proper spelling / usage of "bated." :-) Most people use "baited." Ugh.

Thank you for the appreciation.

This shows the use of vowels in the English language. Baited and bated has only the difference of the vowel "i" and hence I believe people who are not well versed in the usage of vowels would not say it properly

I read the horror story and have shared my comments in that post Sir. Apologize for not being active for the past two - three days , as I had family issues to take off :(
