Statue of liberty

Statue of liberty - Notes

Hello, I wanted to share some interesting facts about the Statue of Liberty replica in Odaiba, Tokyo Bay, which you might find fascinating.

The crown’s seven spikes represent the seven seas and continents, symbolizing light spreading worldwide.

Additionally, the tablet in her left hand reads “July IV MDCCLXXVI” (July 4, 1776, U.S. Declaration of Independence), while the broken chains at her feet symbolize freedom from oppression. The torch she holds stands for enlightenment.

This popular replica, located right in front of the Rainbow Bridge, is about 1/7th the size of the original, standing roughly 11–12 meters (36–40 feet tall) and weighing 9 tons. Initially placed there temporarily in 1998–1999 as a symbol of friendship between Japan and France, this replica was so well-received that a permanent version was installed in 2000.

There are also a couple of “sister” replicas in Japan — in Shimoda and Osaka. It's fascinating to see how these smaller versions around the world help keep the original Statue of Liberty's message of liberty alive in unexpected places! 🗽🌏✨

The Big Bang Theory.

He is robbed including his pants. He can’t fix himself to change in life. He calls Leonard. — Girmit (^‿^) (@cgBalu) 🚆 → 🚉 → 🚆 → 🚉 A funny moment from The Big Bang Theory (Season 8, Episode 1). Sheldon decides to tour American cities by train. New York. Arizona. A few others. But there is a Sheldon twist. He never actually goes into the cities. He remains inside trains and railway stations, orbiting them like a cautious satellite. Then disaster strikes. He is robbed. Everything goes. Even his pants. And Sheldon being Sheldon, he cannot recalibrate his personality. So he does the only logical thing in his universe: he calls Leonard. ❤😎

66 😎

66. A number that once sounded distant. Now it sits quietly beside me, sipping morning air. This is not a fitness routine. This is not a medical prescription. This is a conversation with the body, before the world starts talking. Minute 0–2: Waking Up Without Arguments I don’t jump out of bed. I negotiate. A slow turn. Feet touch the floor. The hips complain softly — not rebellion, just a reminder: “Ease into the day.” I smile. We’ve known each other long enough. Minute 3–6: Gentle Movements — No Heroics A few knee bends near the wall. Hip circles — small, like drawing commas in the air. Marching in place, as if I’m late for nothing. This is not exercise. This is oiling old hinges. The body responds politely. Minute 7–11: Walking — The Best Medicine Slow. Then moderate. If the weather is kind and yesterday’s dinner was lighter, I allow myself a gentle upward slope. No speed targets. No apps judging me. Just footsteps, breath, and that quiet joy of still being able to move forward. Minu...
