I doubt it will happen though. I remember how every year they tried to get $1 coin to be used more in exchange of $1 dollar and it hasn't happened yet. I think coins are easier to use than dollar, especially in vending machine but oh well. Americans like doing thing the hard way lol. Metric...

This is just only in Japan. I have met a deaf girl that came from China. Seems like she knows the written Chinese along with CSL. She married a deaf American and so she learned ASL and English. Seems to be doing great with that. But then again, I met one of hearing volunteer who went to deaf...

I see. I think I'll have to start that habit too if I ever needed medicines.

Ya planning to go back to that place again in the future?

No problem. I just feel lucky to be able to meet deaf Japaneses on my trip. :) sheila022-Props for you if you are gonna attempt to learn some Chinese. So I am assuming you were raised in US (or somewhere that speaks English) while your family stayed in China? Japanese, I think is going to be...

Few months ago I went to Japan and met some deaf Japaneses. I had a cool conversation with one of them about deaf culture in Japan. One of his jobs is to research about Japanese Sign Language. He told me the reason he is trying to research so that he can advocate to get it recognized by the...

Looking at that guy's arms! Not surprisingly.

Regardless of method being used, I still believe the best cure to illiteracy is parent's involvement. Somehow, my parent not choosing CI route but sign language route, my parent still managed to read book to me at night when I was a kid. I wonder if that's where I developed my love for books...

Wow, I detect some of arrogant attitudes in this thread. Anyhow...FYI to those who think average reading level for deaf people aren't so great. Guess what? 50 percent of American adults are unable to read an eighth grade level book. Deaf people aren't the only one that's in trouble! That's why...

We can afford it. I know they are thinking about getting one for state of California and few other states already had a smaller version. Mostly made for city itself rather than getting across state or to other state. I think high speed train is better for getting from FL to NY for example...

*sighs* That's why I am so jealous of Japan's train/subway system. So effective, comfortable, and fast. After 15 hours of trip to Japan, I think I am gonna try my best to save money for business seat rather than economy seat because of how very uncomfortable it is. Now they took it step...

For those that are straight, you (straight females) have never thought how pretty other female is without being sexually attracted to her? I think that's what it is. Sometimes I would hear something from purely straight guy that "if he was gay or female, he would do it with that famous...

I was sick and so I didn't go to school that day and because of that, I stayed at home alone. It was around afternoon when I woke up and went to turn on TV in living room. I thought I was watching a movie or something because of all explosion that were occurring. Then I thought it was important...

Used to play Diablo 2 LOD a lot, online. Got frustrated when I can't kill anything after many patch updates they did. I am not hardcore or dirt enough to make my character a lot stronger after that. Cool game, only wish I had was that they subtitled cutscenes...grr. They better do it for...

Huh? Taking "work to death" literally? No thanks, lol. I want to play and see the world.

Umm, not talking about Native American. I am talking about deaf people.

The VERY last deaf person?...Hmm. Glad it won't be me (at least I hope it won't be me!), it would sucks to be the last deaf person in the whole world. Although I wonder if it would make a good novel out of this notion?

Ooh a deaf character in graphic novel? Awesome. I have been working on a comic book of my own with a main character that's deaf. I have decided to go down this routine and of course I dunno if it's the best way to go. What I would do with it would be picking one word out of sentence that I...

I find it...a bit strange that people seems to be okay with others burning US flags, but not books? Sure, there's freedom of speech, I agree... but doesn't mean I have to follow in examples of others thankfully. If you got to vent off some steam, I think it looks a bit more wiser if done...

It seems illogical for them to nuke US. Just as it's illogical for US to nuke anywhere else. ...I hope! And if it's "made in china" do we get such quality too. O.o Imagine beam not working right and our DNA got torn apart...*shudders*
