[Scanlation] Comic Diary 9 continued
Sorry, I haven't been around. I couldn't read a kanji, and instead of asking a friend, I played WoW. I'm pretty unreliable. I think it's better I don't claim things. Sorry!

■My younger days■
Which reminds me, according to some information
I read, Poland had a questionnaire on
"Other countries according to affection and aversion"
and Italy apparently shined on top for likability.
As expected of countries that have each
other's names in their national anthems.
By the way, of course, the most hated country was Russia.
Vietnam, China, and Germany are also apparently hated.
Liked countries seem to be France (Poland was under
France's care in WW2 and all), Japan, England and America.
But as for why Lithuania and the other Baltic states were
not in the rankings, perhaps it felt like they were already
like family, and so weren't considered.
Fiat-san told me of this site, JAPLAND,
and I really recommend it for getting
information on Poland.
I was surprised about the national anthem line, but I looked it up, and Italy is indeed mentioned in Poland's national anthem.
Edit: it seems Poland is also in Italy's, which makes the line make more sense. Thanks alakheniel.
Edit2: It's actually JAPOLAND, which makes a lot more sense. Himaruya actually typoed it first, I am merely copying it as it's a translation. Thanks for the correction and the updated, non-dead link, itomaru. I also went with the idea that Fiat-san is just a friend, as eruraito suggested, but as many people mentioned in this topic, Fiat is an Italian car that was apparently very popular in Poland. Take that as you will.
Next comic omitted, it was translated with some other American strips. If someone has a link, I'll add it here...
■Popular Spain■
■Notebook Scribbles■
That's all for now!
I wanted to finish today since I'm not horribly addicted to WoW at this instant, but it's like 5:00. I'll try to do it soonish, really. I like the next strip.
I won't link national anthems, as others pointed it out better, but a few other links:
Same-sex Marriage in Spain - wikipedia
The House of Hapsburg - wikipedia
Though nobody seemed to really care about the House of Hapsburg even though I went through all the effort of reading Himaruya's hand writing. Actually, it wasn't hard to read, but anyway. He added that detail in for some reason.
Also, why does lj keep moving my lj-cut if I edit anything in rich text mode. Seriously lj!
