I just thought, think if you'd live in Japan. They are 8+ from us, and we are kinda 6h from most places of USA. Well it's 9 hour + from UK. Not that I think many japanese people reads it in english. Would they get the book before UK?
I don't think so, but it's an interesting theory.

Sometimes I love the timezones. Other times, I hate it. xd

Yeah, it makes sense if they did... I'm not entirely sure, but this is interesting... and totally not fair.

Yes exacly. Maybe they don't have midnightrelise, that they instead get 9 am in the morning.

Heh, that'd suck. I gues a few hours doesn't make too much of a difference though. Books still going to be there at one point. I hope.

It's worse for them who is not living in a english speaking country, or just can't understand english. They have to wait until the book gets translated. As I use to do until book 4. Then I relised, I wasn't so bad at english anyway.

Sure. It all started freshman year...

At my highschool, we sponsor Japanese adults to come over on an exchange program where they help the Japanese teachers and sort of teacher-aide. Anyways, freshman year we had this guy first semester named Hiroyuki Abe. All the students called him Abe-san, even though we should have been calling Abe-sensei. He didn't mind, we all though he was barely out of his teens, so we treated him like another student.

Well, my best friend had a major crush on him for who knows what reason (He wasn't very atttractive. *cough*). She bought him Christmas and Birthday gifts and everything. We went as far as exchanging emails, phone numbers, and meeting this guy at the mall to hangout. Even though we spoke in English most the time, we'd refer to each other as Uendii-san, Oribia-san, and Abe-san.

Eventually, he had to go back to Japan. But a few days before he left, he revealed a little bit of information to my friend. He had just turned 30! That was enough for her, she got so creeped out by the thought that she would cringe at hearing her name being called, 'Uendii-san'. So, since we had 2nd hour together and we tease each other about everything, I would say 'Uendii-san' really slowly and creepy like randomly to bug her.

This lasted for about a month, resulting in tons of giggling and the like. Soon she got sick of my picking on her so she decided to retaliate by calling me 'Oribia-san'. It really didn't have the same effect, just made us laugh. It got to the point where mid-lesson one of us just had to slip, 'saaaaaaaan', and we'd be entertained.

I'm not sure why it stuck, but ever since we referred to each other as san. We only use our real names when we're being serious, but that's not often. Even her family refers to me as san now. So san stuck.

Wooo, that was off topic. Anyways, I'm happy theres only 13 more days until the release! That's less than two weeks.
