 Well, Well, Well, the last post stirred up some argument regarding the Japanese mythology and as the nice and solution giving princess that i am, i'm here to bring clarity😎. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo, let's get itttttttt. Japanese creation mythology is diverse, with various stories and beliefs. One prominent myth involves Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and her role in shaping the world. Another myth is the Kojiki which describes the creation of Japan and it's gods. It begins with the cosmic couple, Izanagi and Izanami, who create the Islands and various deities. Izanagi and Izanami will be our creation story for today. In Japanese mythology, Izanagi and Izanami were a divine couple, brother and sister (it's giving incest but let's move), who had a principle role in creating the Islands of Japan and from whom many important gods had their birth. Before the formation of the world, when the land was formless like a jellyfish, the first deities came into being at Takama...

 In the beginning.........., if you cannot complete that sentence, send me a message, we need to talk, Homo sapiens to Homo sapiens. Every one has a creation story they believe in, every culture and every religion has a creation story they believe in, and no one can force what they believe to be what another person believes. Each culture is rooted in myths that describe their origins in different ways, i'm sounding so serious in this particular post, i feel so proud of myself. This is to show you that i can be serious, i have seriousness in me, i'm not a clown. Chinese culture is also rooted in myths that describe their origins, known as Pangu and its creation myth. In Chinese mythology, the story of the creation of man can be dated back thousands of years. According to the myth, at that time everywhere was in chaos, the first being named Pangu had been sleeping for eighteen thousand years (even me that i'm an ambassador for sleep, this one pass my level, all my "i can...

     It's another episode of Asian countries you never knew existed and no, i didn't disappear, i was just trying to fight a dragon lord called examination, and i succeeded. He is not dead yet, just unconscious till further notice, but i'm alive, that's the most important thing. I have an interesting country for you today, a country that sounds unreal and mystical. Weirdly, the only image coming to my head while writing this is an image of Mikey from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eating pizza💭. If you just played with sand and mud and didn't watch cartoons, sorry, i don't expect you to know who that is, so let's just move on.    Bhutan, Bhutan, is the name of the country i'm introducing to you today. You don't know it, don't lie. Bhutan, officially the kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked Southern Asian country which is located in the Eastern Himalayas, between China in the North and India in the South. It is known locally as Druk Yul or the Land o...

 Welcome beautiful men and handsome women to episode 2 of this series. For some of us that don't like school, we use this platform to remind ourselves that we know book small, as bad as e bad, e no too bad. If i decided to take a poll to find out the number of Asian countries we know, it cannot be more than 6 and if you now want to do like omni-knowest, it cannot be more than 10. We learn every day and the beautiful thing about knowledge is that it cannot be lost, except you fall down from a high place, break your head and lose your memory😐.  Macau, Macau or Macao, officially the Macao special administrative region of the people's republic of China (MSAR), is another Asian country that i just found out about some hours ago. It is a special administrative region of China in the Western Pearl River Delta by the South China Sea, with a population of about 680,000. It is the most densely populated region in the world and was formerly a Portuguese colony. Initially named A Ma Gao ...

 Take it easy, okay, Don't let your mind go wild. I mean, "would you like to eat ramen with me?" literally. If you happen to find yourself in South Korea, please do not take it literally though, it has a deeper meaning which is equivalent to "wanna Netflix and chill?" and if you still do not know what that means dear early men and women, it means "do you want to have sex with me?". You are safe here, don't worry😅. I just gave you a life tip, thank me by reading on.   Let's not confuse things, we have ramen and ramyeon, ramyeon is derived from the Japanese ramen which is noodles made with fresh ingredients and spices usually served at restaurants. Meanwhile, ramyeon refers to instant noodles with dried vegetables and artificial flavouring. I asked you if you would eat ramen with me for a reason, we are going to the roots cupcakes, i do have your permission and attention by now I hope, so fasten your seat belts for a tour of ramen history. Ramen...

 Happy happy new year and happy new month beautiful people 💃 even though the year is already 32 days in and January felt it didn't want to finish. I hope you had the best Christmas and new year celebration because I did alongside my house girl duties and wife material training. Anyway, as we are still in the jolly mood and the new year spirit, some of our brothers, sisters, and paternal grand cousins in different countries in Asia haven't caught up. Amazing right? They are still wrapping their 2022 goals, while some of us have ticked off the first point in our new year resolutions like eating 10 times a day and looking for a husband because we are getting old😓😅.    The Thai new year called Songkran is celebrated on April 13th to April 15th according to the Western calendar in Laos and some other parts of Southeast Asia. In premodern times, the date varied and was calculated according to the soli-lunar calendar. Songkran is a festival of purification and its main featur...
