of greetings, and food.

sometime a couple of days ago I remember finding out that the traditional Tazanian response to the greeting, "How are you?", is, "Strong."

In some parts of China, some parts of Beijing, one of the morning greetings is, "Have you eaten?"

I am practicing the chinese radicals, and I can't help but notice that "eat" is a permutation of "defiance".

huh.
