In today's discourse, we're commonly used to thinking of religion as a sui generis phenomenon,
a distinct cultural entity that can be defined on its own.
We're also used to understanding religion as a set of beliefs with essential elements like
a concept of God, a doctrine on eschatology, teachings written down as scripture,
prophet-like founding figures, sacred places, and ritual performances.
If the word religion is mentioned, things that immediately come up in our minds are such things as
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, and so on.
We also tend to imagine religion as a certain realm of life
that somehow has a clear boundary separating itself from the non-religious one, or the secular,
and we therefore define reality in a binary way: that everything must be either religious or secular.
However, over the past few decades, scholars of religious studies, particularly those following the social constructivist trend,
have suggested that we should not take this common understanding of religion for granted as it is something recent.
It emerged no earlier than the 17th century, from the context of the Enlightenment in Europe,
and was later brought to the rest of the globe, thanks to the Western colonization.
In other words, today's common discourse of religion is a modern invention.
Among the books dealing with this topic are
The Meaning and End of Religion by Wilfred Cantwell Smith (1962),
Orientalism and Religion by Richard King (1999)
Formations of the Secular by a prominent anthropologist Talal Asad (2003),
The Invention of World Religions by Tomoko Masuzawa (2003),
and more recently Before Religion: A History of Modern Concept by Brent Nongbri (2013).
To understand the thesis of religion as a modern invention we can start from thinking of at least two things.
First, religion cannot be objectively defined.
It is hardly possible to offer a definition of religion that is both distinctive and comprehensive enough
to encompass all religious phenomena and is universally applicable across times and places.
If we define religion as a set of beliefs that must have a concept of the one true God,
we'd reduce it into monotheism and as such exclude, among others,
Theravada Buddhism, Confucianism, and many indigenous religions across the world.
If we oblige religion to have a scripture,
well, Vedas of Hinduism were just written down completely only in the 19th century,
and in the previous time they were mostly handed down orally and transferred quite exclusively among the Brahmins or the Hindu priests.
Most of the major religions' scriptures were just written down and canonized
in decades or even centuries after their respective founders passed away.
Most of the world religions' founders even didn't give their names to the movements they led
and it was their followers or sometimes outsiders
who gave a name and regarded their movement as a religion.
Jesus didn't invent Christianity; he reformed Judaism.
Siddhartha Gautama didn't invent Buddhism;
he was a Hindu reforming traditions practiced by Hindus of his time.
This idea is worthy of consideration while looking at cases of countries
where religion plays a defining role in the discourse of politics and law.
In some, like in my country, Indonesia, which according to the 2015 Pew Research
was ranked third among the countries whose citizens regard religion as very important for their lives,
there are still discussions of whether local beliefs and traditions can be considered religions
so that their followers can get the full benefit of citizenship
as their counterparts from followers of the world religions.
In some Western countries, defining religion has an impact on which is recognized to be religion
and as such has rights of religious freedom protection and receives funding from the state.
Therefore, every attempt in defining religion is always a political decision,
and that depends on those in power.
Defining religion creates a limit or a constraint that we need to be aware of:
how much can it be inclusive and exclusive enough;
how much a given definition religion is in favor
of some priviliged groups and not of the other groups.
This means that every definition of religion should always be open to change and negotiation,
because it is always politically contingent.
Second, religion of today's common discourse has undergone what the scholar Wilfred Cantwell Smith called
"reification" or the process of concretization of the abstract;
and it was an invention.
By looking at the history of the word "religion",
we'd know that the word itself carries a Western historical baggage.
The word "religion" originates from the Latin word "religare", which means "to bind",
which then evolved into the word religio, which means
"to be pious and obedient to one's social rules".
It was, in the beginning, a form of quality and as such,
according to Smith, whose work traces the history of the word in the ancient writings,
it had no plural form,
and is more proper to be translated as faith or religiousness,
which means being pious to God, and not religion as an institution.
The case by and large remained so until the advent of the Enlightenment era,
the so-called age of reason, in which people began trying to separate
reason and empirical science from myths and metaphysical beliefs.
It was that time when religion underwent reification:
from a quality into a thing called "religion",
which eventually have its plural, "religions".
A binary division of life then emerged:
on one hand we have religion that is seen as irrational and metaphysical,
which must be set aside and marginalized from political affairs,
and on the other we have the secular,
which is rational, empirical, and superior to religion.
In fact, these were among what modernity was meant in the beginning,
as it was defined against the primitive, the traditional, and the irrational.
Religion is then defined in a negative way:
religion is what the secular is not.
This discourse of religious-secular binary division was eventually
brought from the West to the East during the age of colonization.
The colonizers began identifying what are mythical or irrational in their colonies
and put them in the same box called "religion"
while using Christianity as the prototype.
As a result, they invented a name or adopt an already invented name
for a cultural tradition, while the practitioners of that tradition themselves didn't institutionally name
or even didn't care about the name of the tradition they're practicing.
It was in this era where Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Sikhism, Zoroastrainism,
and other religions with "ism", emerged.
Hindus didn't have a name for their "religion".
Even they didn't have a word that is exactly equivalent to the word "religion".
The closest term to the word is "dharma",
but it means more of a social duty rather than a set of beliefs.
"There were Hindus," said Smith, "but there was no Hinduism".
The word Hindu itself was invented, according to Smith,
by Muslims who invaded the land beyond the Indus river, hence Hindu.
Chinese people who practiced Confucianism didn't regard their beliefs and practices as religion.
In past East Asia, you can be a Shinto, a Confucian, and a Buddhist at the same time,
because people were not yet exposed to the religious-secular binary discourse.
So, many names were invented, and religion then had its plural form, religions.
In my country, Indonesia, the word religion translates as "agama",
while "agama" in its original Sanskrit language refers to the scripture.
There was an evolution from a name of scripture adopted
and given a new meaning referring to an institutionalized form of religion.
There is one special case, however, and that is Islam.
This case is addressed specifically in Smith's book,
because since birth Islam has already been conscious
of the existence of other ways of believing in and worshipping God.
There is a word in Islam that is usually translated as religion, and that is "din".
Nevertheless, Smith and other scholars of his like argue that
the word "din" is not fully equivalent to the word "religion".
While religion is meant to be something institutionalized and differentiated from the political and the secular,
"din" means many.
It could mean customs, judgment, and someone's way of life,
but there was no sense of a separation between the political and the private.
In other words, the religious-secular binary doesn't apply to the word "din".
So, in short, while talking about religion, we must be conscious
of the underlying paradigm behind a given definition of religion,
because religion cannot be defined on its own.
Even though this paradigm is one of the hotly debated topics in religious studies,
it is beneficial for helping us to be more aware
of what is commonly taken for granted while in fact it is a social construction.
This paradigm can also help us to be more critical in engaging with discourses related to religion,
such as religion and democracy,
religion and liberalism,
religion and human rights,
religion and nation-states,
religion and violence, religion and public life, and so on so forth.
Most importantly, the social constructivist perspective of religion can be
a lens to locate a given definition of religion in the context of a power relation:
who defines;
in service of whom;
what are nuances that fail to be captured,
and which group is given privilege over the other.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG: Ehlers-Danlos #ThisIsMyEDS [CC] - Duration: 7:53.
Hello, hello!
I've been wanting to do this for a long time, uh, it's the What's In My Bag tag..
I believe it's a tag.
Um, and although I was trying to keep the majority of my videos EDS related for EDS
Awareness Month, I decided a lot of the stuff that I carry with me IS EDS related.
So.. let's get started.
Okay so currently I'm using this simple black bag, it's not glamorous but it does
the job.
Um, and a big reason why I use it, why I chose it, is because it has these little hooks on
the ends and what I do is I wrap a little velcro strap to these hooks, that way I can
hang it on my wheelchair and I really like that.
In the big pocket I have my iPod and my really old, giant-- they're not that big, uh, headphones.
I don't keep any music on my phone really, all my music is on my old iPod 3rd generation.
The other thing I have in the big pocket is actually two wireless battery chargers, they
just got a lot of juice so I can recharge my phone.
I used it a lot while I'm out so these are really necessary.
In my middle pocket we got chapstick, lipstick, um, I've been ask about it before; my lipstick,
the one that I'm wearing right now and I always carry with me is from Miss A at shopmissa.com.
Doesn't really have a name on it but looks like this and says the number 11, so if that
helps…
My pill case!
Yay!
Um, in my pill um, case I just carry around my sister's emergency medication for her
anxiety disorder, um, and I also carry for myself, Excedrin.
Um, you're not supposed to -- well, I'm not supposed to take them on a daily basis
but when my migraines get too high or I'm like passing out from my sleep disorder or
fatigue, whichever it is, I take an Excedrin, the caffeine in it really helps my migraines,
really helps my fatigue levels.
Again, I can't take it all the time but I carry it around with me just in case.
My wallet!
Inside my wallet I have my rainbow debit card, ha, my uh, Disney ID, my movie card, um, my
driver's license, two dollars in cash, and all my insurance cards.
I have my eye doctor insurance card, my car insurance card, and my health insurance card;
I keep them all with me all the time just in case anything ever happens.
And now the front pocket, in the front pocket I have a small pack of my business cards and
my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome emergency alert card.
Um, this is multi-use, I use it sometimes when I go to see a new doctor and they usually
don't know what Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is so I hand them is-- I hand them this for some
quick reading.
This is also useful in case, God forbid, I'm out and I faint or I lose consciousness for
whatever reason, or there's some kind of violent emergency, again God forbid, um, this
has a lot of notes on how to handle my body uh, if I need to get sewn up, how to sew me
up because staples..
NOT good for people with EDS uh, you have to sew me back up in a very specific way,
uh, so… that's in the front pocket of my purse so everybody knows.
So that was just the first half uh, cuz that's just my small bag but my wheelchair has a
bag attached to the back and here's the stuff that I have in there.
So first thing I have in there is my cup holder, so I attach this to the arm of my wheelchair
and that way I don't have to carry drinks in between my knees when I go out.
As many of you know, I have a lot of struggles with my wrists and my fingers, um, and how
lax they can become and how painful they can become, so this is another attachment for
the arm of my wheelchair, um, where I just pop my phone in here and it holds it for me
so I don't have to hold and possibly cramp my hand holding it, and I just touch it there.
Oh! And obviously my phone is in my purse usually but right now it's charging.
Okay so though I wish I could carry all my braces and everything with me everywhere I
go, uh, that's not really possible, so I just carry a limited amount of supplies for
emergencies.
In case I hurt my-- one of my knees or my ankles, I have this bandage wrap, usually
the compression, if I tie it tight enough will help with pain and just kind of hold
it together, as well as this sports tape, again just a couple of pieces, I carry around
with me, uh, bandage wrap, sports tape, and I also carry around this lumbar and belly
belt, um, and these white parts, they will heat up on my lower abdomen and on my lower
back, um, in case I'm feeling pain in those areas.
And I don't carry this around with me all the time, this is more for home but until
I get one of those cool little wrist bands that can read my heart beat per minute all
the time, I have this thing, and it measures my oxygen intake and my heart beat per minute.
Oh! And one final thing!
I don't know how I nearly forgot it; is my foldable cane.
Um..
This I can keep either in the back of my wheelchair or in my purse because it's small enough,
um, and then just gotta be a little..
[CANE CLICKS INTO PLACE]
It becomes a cane, which before what I was doing-- before I had a foldable cane -- this
is a luxury!
Before I had a foldable cane I had just you know, my stiff full-length cane and I didn't
have anywhere to put it in the back, cuz I would try to hang it off my chair, it would
fall off, uh, I would hold it between my knees but that was not very comfortable.
Having a foldable cane allows me to put it away discreetly and then take it out whenever
I need it, so that's great.
It's also broken but I'll figure out a new foldable cane eventually, maybe an ergonomic one.
Alright and that's it for What's In My Bag...
[LAP SLAP]
EDS Style, the majority of it WAS related to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome!
Fun times.
Ugh, so let me know in the comments, was there anything in there that you found really curious?
Or you could probably relate, maybe you're a Spoonie too?
Um, and let me know what kind of curious things you have in your bag, and I will see you eventually,
bye!

Anger Release – What If Anger Doesn't Flow? | 30 Day Video Challenge 26/30 - Duration: 8:35.
Hey, my happy shiny puppy!
This is Melody Fletcher, Author of Deliberate Receiving: Finally the Universe makes some
freakin' sense!
And this is day 26 of my 30 day video challenge.
Phew!
Alright, so, today I want to talk about Anger.
I've talked a lot about anger, I've written a lot about anger, there's a big section in
my book about anger.
One of the most misunderstood emotions that there is.
So, I'm not going to try and recap everything that I've ever said except for, that it is
absolutely one of the most healing emotions that there is.
Anger is the emotion that pulls you out of powerlessness into empowerment.
The metaphor that I like to use is: When you're in, sort of, in a corner of a locked room
and you're in the fetal position and somebody is just beating the crap out of you and you're
feeling completely powerless, anger is the emotion that gets you to stand up and go "No
more!
I'm going to go through you; I'm going to go around you.
Either way, I don't care.
This is not happening anymore."
It can be explosive; it can be, you know, it can feel like rage, it can be ugly, it
can be a violent.
Especially when it's, sort of, a suppressed anger.
So, if anger has been suppressed for a long time and it's a destructive anger release.
And I've talked a lot about how to let anger out in a constructive way and a lot of what
I talk about is geared towards giving yourself permission to let anger out even when it is
ugly.
To not censor it because you're sort of... maybe, you know, what you really want to do
is beat the crap out of somebody and to allow yourself to see that happening.
Don't go do it; that's destructive.
But you can allow yourself to see it happening and not to censor, and that nothing is really
off limits.
But then I get questions from people saying "Well, you know what?
I'm at work, or whatever.
And I'm in a situation where I can't really get angry.
It's not appropriate for me to get angry.
And so, I notice that I'm being triggered, I notice that the anger is rising up.
I put a pin in it, I go home so that I can really sit there, like you taught me dear
Melody, and then there's no anger."
And so, here's something that I want to say about that.
Yeah?
Now first of all, no one ever said you have to force yourself to get angry.
Yeah?
So don't try to sit there and make yourself angry.
Let anger come when it comes.
However I totally recognize that, you know, a lot of times you're in the situation, you
get triggered, it's real volatile and then you go home and here's what I think is happening:
It isn't that you can't bring the anger up; it's that you're not recognizing it as anger.
Because to most people anger is this really destructive force, this sort of "Arrrggghhh!!",
you know.
And it's volatile and there's a lot of screaming and it's loud and it's, you know, it's satisfying
but it's also, it's violent, it sort of burst out of you.
And what I've come to realize is that anger sometimes is very, very quiet.
Particularly once you start sort of getting rid of some of that volatile anger.
And, not just then but sometimes, you know, it just doesn't feel explosive.
Sometimes it feels more like annoyance or, you know, it can't be accessed really physically
but it can be accessed more intellectually, and it doesn't mean it can't be accessed.
So, let me give you an example.
You might, you know, be angry about something, and your boss has said something to you at
work, and in that moment you really did want to punched him in the face.
But you couldn't sit and sort of imagine that, there was no time and you certainly couldn't
express it.
That would have been really destructive, so, you put a pin in it and you say "Ok, I'm going
to go home and deal with this."
So, you go home and when you're at home you try to bring up that same intensity of anger
but you can't.
But what you can do is maybe talk your way through it.
You know, "What is it that I'm so angry about?"
Now, this doesn't feel like anger.
(Soft tone) "What am I, what am I so angry about?
What bothered me so much about that?
Hmm" And then you want to say "Oh, I can't generate the anger."
It doesn't have to feel big and explosive.
Try it anyway.
Try to feel your way through it.
Just sit with it and ask the questions.
What was it that bothered you?
Yeah?
It's going to feel a lot more subtle which isn't as satisfying; I will admit that, as
"Arrrggghhh!!".
Yeah?
But it can still be very, very, very productive.
I've had many, many anger releases in my life and some of them I was punching a couch cushion
for all it was worth and crying and screaming and beating the crap out of somebody in my
mind.
I had to actually physically let it out.
I have... back when I used to run, I would run them out sometimes.
I would just go running, and you know, after 10 minutes of running, angry running, the
anger would dissipate and I would get insights about it.
I've also had an anger release on a plane.
Nobody knew that I was having an anger release.
I closed my eyes, laid back and beat the ever living shit out of a whole group of people.
They were even fictitious people; it didn't matter.
I was dealing with something; I needed to let it out.
And then I've also had, sort of… these aren't… they don't look like anger releases, but they're
experiences where I'm talking to somebody who's holding the energy for me, or I'm journaling,
or I'm talking out loud to an imaginary person because sometimes it really helps me to hear
myself say things out loud, and I will talk my way through it.
"Why am I angry?
What bothered me?
You know what really bothered me is... you know what, that guy's kind of an asshole.
He's just, you know...
I don't deserve that.
I don't deserve to be treated like that.
I don't, (sigh) he's just so arrogant."
Now, this doesn't seem angry.
It seems more contemplative.
Yeah?
And so, one might say "Oh no; I'm not having an anger release."
Yeah you are, you're still connecting with it.
You're just not connecting with it in such a big, volatile way.
A lot of the work that I do with people is actually quite quiet and it's amazing how,
you know, some of the really more advanced techniques that I use with my coaching clients,
they don't feel the energy in a very volatile way at all.
They'll sit there and go "Oh well, aah, it's this, it's that."
And, you know, we're talking very quietly and then, (explosion sound) it'll be gone.
And they never had to go, "Arrrggghhh!!".
So, it is an individual thing but it isn't even an individual thing; it's an individual
in the moment thing.
Sometimes you're going to have a volatile "Arrrggghhh!!" anger release and sometimes
you're going to be sort of (soft tone) "Mmm, why am I pissed off?"
Yeah?
And it isn't going to be violent and it isn't going to be as volatile.
So, let both of those kinds of scenarios be valid for you.
And sometimes you're going to have to, you know, it's going to take 2 to 3 days to kind
of talk your way through it.
Sometimes anger looks like crying!
Yeah?
And sometimes it just feels like pressure.
And so, you know, don't get too hung up on the definition of it.
Allow yourself to go with whatever comes up.
Energy releasing doesn't have to be volatile and it doesn't have to be... it doesn't even
have to be uncomfortable, past the discomfort that we feel that looking at something that
maybe we haven't wanted to look at.
Yeah?
But when the release comes, usually you feel it.
It's not always like "Oh my God, thank you.
(Crying sound), Waa! (puking sound) It's not always like that!
(Laughing) It's... sometimes it's just, (sighing in relief) yeah.
Alright my puppy, I will see you tomorrow.
Until then; thank you for bringing your light to the world.
Bye.

What Is a Mortgage? - Growella Explains - Millennial Finance - Duration: 1:17.
I'm a homeowner and recently bought my
first house. Wow, are homes expensive!
I didn't have all that money just laying
around to buy a home with cash, so
instead I used a mortgage. A mortgage is
a loan you get for real estate and
they're just like other types of loans.
You borrow some amount of money, you get a
schedule for making the payments and
when you pay the loan off, that's it! No
more payments! The big difference between
mortgage loans and other loans, though, is
that with a mortgage you get to choose
how your loan is repaid. You can choose
whether your payback period is short or
long, whether your interest rate is
changed or fixed, and even whether you
want to pay closing costs or not.
Being able to customize your mortgage is
amazing! But, so long as we're telling the
truth here, I had so many choices that I
kind of felt overwhelmed. Enter my
mortgage lender -- who was awesome! She was
licensed and helpful and honest, and she
helped me to make sense of my options.
In the end, I picked a great mortgage that
fit within my budget and got a really
low rate in the process. I'm totally in
love with my house and I couldn't have
bought it without my mortgage.

What anxiety feels like || Fathia Salma - Duration: 1:39.
Its 7:30 AM
I woke up with my heart beat thumping hard
Heaviness' surrounding my mind
Thinking something isn't quite right
I'm Breathing heavily, my neck starts to hurt and sweat starts to form on my palm.
It's 8:00 AM
My stomach feels like acid washing every inch of the limbs,
eating away my feeling of hunger.
"You're different, I tell you," said the voice behind my back.
Telling me everything that is wrong with me.
convinced,
because that's the thing that kept bothering since I woke up and opened my eyes in the morning.
Its 12:00PM
My mind is on fire.
It's overwhelming.
it feels like you are trapped,
trapped in a room where there is no window to croll out.
Avoid people, i thought, be alone.
My body is exhausted, tired, yet my mind is racing
thinking, and going over every single detail that had happened in the day.
It's 10:00 PM
I can't sleep.
There's so many in my mind I could not explain.
It's in fact implausible to explain
It's like a car,
going with speed without the break that will cause a bigger problem,
and yes,
It would not stop.
And this is how anxiety feels like.

DoA on what OWL can learn from LoL/CS:GO: $ support for teams & regular international tournaments. - Duration: 5:28.
How has Overwatch League incorporated the successful aspects of Riot, Valve, and the
NBA?
Well you know a lot of the stuff with Overwatch League is still kind of being nailed down
and all that.
So I can't say a ton about it obviously yet.
But I think what Overwatch League will hopefully do is incorporate the support for teams that
Riot showed initially with the LCS.
Because I mean when the LCS first came out ,it was a great thing right.
I mean the support that teams got was was like nothing that had really been seen before
in a big esports league like that.
So you know credit to Riot Games.
I think they did a great job when when things started out with with LCS, and while you know
obviously things in my opinion haven't gone as great since then it really was a great
start.
And I think it really was a good educating moment for a lot of other organizations that
wanted to be as big into esports Valve, honestly I'm not as familiar with with everything that
they've done.
You know I watched the International from time to time, and I have mixed thoughts about
the compendium.
I think it's great to get these players you know more money.
I think that's awesome.
At the same time, I don't know if it's wise to rely on the benevolence of the community
for your prize pool.
I feel like that's something that can go well for a while and then is really going to kind
of like come back to bite you later on.
I hope it never does for them.
I hope it always goes well.
But I have mixed feelings about that.
I think what Blizzard can take from CS:GO is the importance of having regular international
tournaments like one-offs and things like that.
And so that because you want to have...
Ongoing leagues are great but you also need to give these players downtime too right.
Which is something that I think Riot is kind of missing the boat on right now is that these
guys have like--it's like Spring split, into MSI, into Summer split, into Worlds, into
All-Stars, and like I know some of these players, and they just never get a break.
Like SKT, because they win everything.
You know good for them.
But that means also that they never really get a break.
And that's I don't think anyone should really have to live like that.
I think it's important to...
I think it's important for the quality of the games too that people are able to step
back from it and take some time off if they want to.
And if a team wants to be like "Yeah we're just not going to play this next event."
Then they can skip an international event or something like that.
So ideally a mix would be nice, where you can take a little bit of everything.
Because maybe one side goes too far into only one-off events and one side goes too far into
everything else.
So that's I guess we'll see what happens.
But that would be nice to have more balance in the scene.
What about pulling franchising system from NBA which so many people have said or begged
for from Riot or Valve, or other games.
Well I think this is a real evolution moment for esports where esports is an interesting
thing in that nobody owns the game of football, and nobody owns the game of baseball right?
So the entities that are involved in traditional sports are fundamentally different than esports
and it seems like in Overwatch League.
We will hopefully have a healthy balance of people in control.I would love to see fairly
equal input and influence from the developer because they made the game, from the broadcasters
because they're the ones making the game consumable as a product, and the teams because they're
the ones providing the players and the infrastructure to support those players.
So all three of those entities have very important vested interests in making Overwatch work.
None of them I think should have too much power right.
So everyone kind of needs to have a bit of say, so from what we've heard it sounds like
to me a Blizzard is going in the right direction where they want to involve the teams more
and they want to give them a bit more leeway I suppose.
And on the broadcasting side of things too that'll be nice as well because you do have
conflicts sometimes.
Like in Korea between what OGN has as a vision for their broadcast compared to what Riot
Games or Blizzard or Super Evil MegaCorp or whatever developer's game they're using has
for their product too.
And so if everyone can--this is like a very eutopic kind of idea I'm thinking of.
But if everyone can kind of work together and sit down, I think that'll make the best
product.
And in my mind Overwatch is the thing that's moving the most in that direction right now.
Jack Nicholson once said "Why can't we all just get along.
Yeah exactly.
Yeah. in very lovable role.

White and porcelain like skin tone.

I think?
I also would like to remain as Japanese.
Yeah, the culture's just so different.
If you wake up and you can become someone else, from which country would you like to be?
America.
Why?
It's more international, and more free.
When I was in America, I see they don't have that kind of culture,
which tries to destroy someone who stands out in the crowed,
as matter of fact, when you express yourself, people will praise you
I really like that culture.
So I have admiration towards America.
If possible, what kind of appearance would you like?
I want to be blonde like you.
Foreign blonds always catch people's attention.
So I would like to be a natural blond and have blue eyes.
And then what would you do?
I want to have a morning coffee with style.
I guess I would look into the mirror all day
Like "Wow, awesome."
So these are all the questions! Thank you very much!
So, what foreigner do you want to be?
Many people say for example America and such,
interesting if you suddenly woke up.
I don't want to be a particular culture, I think I'd like to live one day in every culture's life.
And I ??????? definitely would like to wake up one day and just be a guy, for a day.
That'll be fun.
So that's relevant to the question, probably not.
So how about you, which foriegner would you like to be,
What country's person do you want to wake up.
But maybe Sweden. I would like to wake up Swedish and really tall and blonde.
