To your Heart’s Content, Russia!
Russia decided to build a waterway that would connect Leningrad with the White Sea. Since it was something that Stalin had thought of on a whim, true to the maxim: “Build it immediately, within the next 2 years”, or “Since there’s no money, there’s no materials or anything. Well, keep working” the final structure turned out positively Russian in quality.
■ To your heart’s content, Russia! 2 ■
And so, Russia did construction work. However, all that was available on site were wheelbarrows and shovels. In an era when cars were running through the streets and airplanes soared through the skies, they used wheelbarrows and shovels. Even though it was the 20th century, they were working on an ancient Egyptian level.
And the time span for completion was just one year.
Can you even build a canal, Russia!?

You be Italy, and I’ll be Germany
I think it would be interesting to have a simulation game of a German commander trying to control Italian troops. Of course, the German would probably get totally stressed out, and if you aren’t careful, it might turn into Postal 2.

Doodle Summary 2
Speaking of which, France kept insistently ragging on Germany, but…
Although made fun of Italy for being dumb, he didn’t say much else.
All through the war England and France made up horror stories
and leaked them to the rest of the world, which actually worked
very well to stirring up outside criticism against Germany. Some
of the tales of German wickedness that still circulate today originated
as English and French propaganda and were formally apologized for following the war.
Incidentally, when simple ‘ol America heard the variety of
“Germany’s (fake) Tales of Evil (by France and England)”
he shouted “I won’t forgive someone who does rotten things like that!”
and rushed over to support England.
That era’s America was still very America-like, wasn’t he?
□Don’t they open their eyes?□
■Fantasy England■
It seems that 70% of British people believe in ghosts.
By the way, in England there’s stuff like an island where fairies live,
a resident directory for ghosts, and even the London tower,
famous for being a tourist area, is a “ghost spot”.
Ghosts, fairies– sorcery and England have a relationship that
can’t be separated even if they tried.
■Germany and Italy’s big brother■
■Vengeful big brother■
Nicknamed “Red Devils,”
no one knew when or where Italian grenades would explode.
They frightened both enemies and allies.
China lost the first and second Opium war, and had
the greater part of his territory seized by France and England.
As you can see from the map above,
it became an incredibly marbly and pitiful thing.
Aaah The Old Summer Palace…
And when China turned and looked behind him, Russia was right there.
I bet it was scary to see Russia drawing closer and closer.
Good luck, China.

2009 Christmas Backlog 2
□With Christmas, Paris, and Noises□
【 There was a time Santa Claus got executed 】
There was a time that everyone’s favourite Santa, called Pere Noel
in French, got executed. It really happened in France
in the Normandy region city of Dijon.
[T/N: I think he meant Burgundy region, because there is a Dijon there but not Normandy, according to Google.]
The protagonist of Christmas is not Santa!
“Santa is nothing but a lie!” proclaimed the enraged clergy,
and on December 23rd an effigy of Santa was dealt the punishment
of being burned at the stake on a plaza in front of a cathedral.
During that incident the dreams of the children
running about France were crushed…
The day after that was Christmas Eve.
The one who staged Santa’s revival was the mayor of that time.

2013 Halloween Summary (From the Bamboo Thicket Blog)
The spirit of the apple tree in Mir castle that the owner ordered to cut down is still revenging herself by luring people into the lake…
The ghost of Room 324 of a Swedish hotel is like the Romeo of a Swedish version of Romeo and Juliet.
A commoner and the daughter of a baron fell in love, however, the baron did not think that was proper, and to put an end to it had his daughter marry a man of a different status…
[T/N: This refers to the Taftaholm Herrgard hotel in Sweden. ]
Denmark’s ghost hotel has famous ghosts appear in it. It’s rather modern in style.
Ah, let’s make mini-characters again!
I took and saved photos in Italy, and I’d like to post them.
By the way, the top characters with easy to draw hairstyles are Italy, Poland and Liechtenstein, the ones with rounded hairstyles and straight hair. The ones with the most frustrating to draw hairstyles are Hungary (because it’s fluffy), Austria (because it’s a soft, partially back style) and Principality of Wy (because it’s fluffy).
Norway’s ghostly monk is said to be appearing in a cathedral.
Eye-witness evidence:
Long time ago, there was this incredibly good-looking monk in the cathedral.
The light in his eyes was beautiful and haunting – and so handsome.
It’s said he strangled a priest, all the while looking good, with his face delicate and slim.
If you look closely, there is blood running from his neck. And yet he still manages to look so good.
What a babe.

Halloween Manga Bonus
Picture of the Hotel Ghosts
Ghost (Moldova’s imagination)
A deacon who went to pick up the woman
he loved even though he had drowned.
He went to pick her up on Christmas Eve night,
but in the middle of their horseback ride,
she found out that he was dead and had him driven away.
The flowers are anemones.
Ukraine’s ghost train
It seems that there’s a legend about Ukraine’s ghost train
that was started being witnessed starting about 50-60
years ago and extending until present day.
It vanishes from before the eyes of witnesses and speeds
along silently only for the sound to follow later.
I can’t help wondering what might be riding on it.
Ghost appearing in Canada’s hotel
A very polite ghost appearing in a Canadian hotel.
He appears in the old hotel uniform, carries various luggage and
opens the door – basically he is doing his hotel boy job even as a ghost.
They say he retired from his job with the words, “I’ll be back”.
Ghost of a village girl that appears at an abandoned castle
A young maiden took her own life as the owner of the castle
dumped her and became a ghost that now appears in that castle.
Even though the castle is abandoned now,
there are still people who see her appearing.
An alchemist who is said to have sold his soul to the devil.
He had all sorts of non-human beings living in his castle,
and even now there are suspicious footsteps and things
floating and moving around to be spotted there.
Here’s some fairly useless trivia about New Zealand’s house.
New Zealand has lots of ghost stories, so many
that it seems they’re published in the country’s newspapers.
Larnac Castle (a female ghost appears here)
Napier Penitentiary (some ghosts who appeal very energetically to those who see them appear here)
Waikato Hospital (it’s famous for ghost sightings)
Saint James Theater (Russians appear here)
Hiwick (there was an incident with a demonic dog. It can stay at your side forever! This must be irresistible for dog lovers.)
There are numerous places for ghost viewing.
Even in Wikipedia articles, statements like “ghosts appear here”
or “there have been many eyewitness testimonies that this place
is haunted” are written as if to clearly confirm the existence
of ghosts there. New Zealand is an amazing place!
Apparently it’s becoming learning material for Australians
who want to study the spirit of the Japanese.
The Ghost of a Turkish Maid
The Dutch ambassador in the Turkish embassy had an affair
with one of the maids, but he had to leave Turkey and
the maid died of broken heart.
Since then, the ghost of the maid is said to be running through
the grounds, still doing her maid duties.
