Huh, the Grass Jelly Drink I'm drinking is halal. With the official seal and everything. I've seen the kosher seal many times (although, most notably on Pringles) but I had no idea there even was a halal one. I'm not even totally sure what it entails but to be truthful, I don't know much about keeping kosher either. I would guess they're both similar (hopefully I'm not angering any Jews or Muslims out there with that comparison) and probably hard to follow.

For me, and I think for most Chinese people, the loss of pork as a meat is probably very hard to deal with. I don't even particularly like pork or most meats but even I think not eating pork ever again would inconceivable. Well, if I'm not going vegetarian, that is. Then, that's a whole different story.

So, on a different note, Major made me get into a baseball mood. In learning about different pitches, I ran across the shuuto and that lead me to Mr. Baseball. It's an old film and generally, I wouldn't even think about it but I do have a thing for the gaijin in Japan type of scenario. He's one of the more disrespectful characters I've seen though. >< And I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Selleck. He's the rugged, big type and they've always disgusted me a bit. But hopefully he'll grow on me during the space of the film.
