American??

[edit]

Why is this tagged as US and Asian-American. This is a Cdn author and a Cdn story set in Canada. I understand Japanese-Cdn or Asian-Cdn as a tag, and Canada, BC and Vancouver (and maybe Alberta). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.57.148 (talk) 20:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just blew the American imperialist bullshit away. Varlaam (talk) 23:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced the text of Obasan article on Encyclopedia.com on the talk page with the hyperlink; the copied article swamped the page and made it difficult to navigate. It also violated copyright. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 23:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"injured by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima"

[edit]

A single bomb dropped on two different cities on different days?
Amazing. That is a triumph of American know-how. Varlaam (talk) 00:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

QUESTION: Isn't obasan "grandparent? While I am gaijin 40 years ago I lived in Iwakuni. I had about a 1000 word Japanese vocabulary then. Perhaps 50 words now.
