Person B: “Yes, I see pretty lights too.”

Person A: “It is so beautiful. It reminds me that this world has so much wonder and beauty in it.”

Person B: “Ummm… right.”

Person A: “What? Doesn’t it remind you of all the wonderful things out there?”

Person B: “Um, no. I see pretty lights.”

Person A: “You’re jaded!”

Person B: “And you’re insulting.”

In other words different people see different things when they look at the same thing.

I really thought about the terraces. Have you seen them in person? I haven’t. It’s very inaccessible to many of us because it’s so out of the way to get to those mountains.

Pardon my capital-centric thinking, but given the concentration of culture and thought in Metro Manila, I’d hope that such a symbolic work can be reached by not to far a drive from the city.

“With the sheer number of tourists that climb Mt. Fuji every day, after all these centuries you could probably say that it is wrought by people’s feet. ” –> And not only their feet, but the their Blood, Sweat and Tears they shed in the process. Now if Tokyo Tower is moe, as ghostlightning said in your post, then Mt.Fuji might as well be its GAR counterpart

@ghostlightning: would something built out of nature, like the Banawe Rice Terraces, count?

But yeah, interesting point you brought up about the cultural significance of man-made edifices, construct(s) built with the people in mind, out of love, something that would allow us to Remember Love too. I can only wonder if I’ll ever get to see one of that in our country in my lifetime… would be great indeed

@lk: lol, well that was totally random, and just figured why not give a heads up about it. Until I finally get to play it and then dedicate a post for it
