The Hanzi is a collection of more than 7,000 characters you’ll use for everything (if you exclude the variations and ancient forms written in old books that make the total number over 100,000 characters). It literally means the characters of the “Han,” the most powerful ethnic group at the time when China began to export its culture beyond its borders. Hanzi is the derivative Chinese term for Kanji and Hanja.

No, these are not the names of The Three Musketeers translated into Japanese but the labels for logograms-characters that symbolize a phrase or word-respectively in Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Luckily I made it out of that linguistic black hole with a few ideas on which one is easiest that I’m going to share with you. They’ve got to be pretty similar, right?Īs it turns out. My genius solution? Study Korean, Chinese, and Japanese at the same time. I was stuck between my Japanese major (or at least the end of it), barely keeping up with three years of Chinese study so that I could make something of my life AND indulging myself completely in shiny new K-culture. My weeaboo-ism, combined with the stress of learning Japanese “the hard way” (aka you must score 100% on all exams otherwise the rest of your life is pretty much doomed), mutated into a koreaboo-ism because of it. Many high schools in France, including mine, offered it as an “extra-foreign” language.īecause I was in a weeaboo denial phase, convincing myself that I liked “Asian culture in general” and not just the Japanese one, I chose to study Chinese for my whole three years of high school in the hopes that it would prepare me for my ultimate weeb goal: study Japanese at university-which I did next.Įverything was going fine until a third element joined the group: the Hallyu or Korean culture wave which spread K-pop, K-beauty, and K-drama all over the world. Chinese, on the other hand, was marketed as THE language of opportunity. At that time back in 2006, Korean or Japanese weren’t really popular languages.

We have to admit that this is the very first time we have heard someone complain about plopping poop. We love the many remedies our visitors and readers supply for unusual problems.

Witch hazel contains 14% pure ethyl alcohol plus hamamelis water. That way if you end up with the familiar splashback you can put some witch hazel on toilet paper and gently clean the area. Consider buying a bottle of witch hazel and keeping it in a bathroom cabinet.

You might try consuming more fiber in your diet so that your bowel movements are less likely to be fully formed hard balls that plop into the toilet bowl.We can only offer a couple of suggestions: There are unlikely to be any randomized, double-blind controlled trials of some expensive new drug to prevent “plopping poop.” Sadly, this is not likely to be the focus of intense medical research.

We suspect that you are not the only one who has experienced the unpleasant feeling of splashback from a toilet bowl. For another, the sensation of water splashing on my nether region is unpleasant to say the least. I cannot begin to tell you how annoying and uncomfortable that is.įor one thing, I know the water in the toilet bowel is not all that clean. Please help! When I have a bowel movement it is not unusual for me to experience a plop and then feel the water in the toilet bowl splash back up on my bottom.
