For those that know me very well, they know I am not the kind of person to belief in things such as fate. I would typically be the one to dismiss things that others consider fate simply as a coincidence. Every once in a while though I find myself questioning this thinking of mind, and this photo indicates one of those times. My first encounter with the Japanese language was when I was 12 years old. I was given a book at that time that covered the history of the Japanese whaling industry fairly in depth, and on the first page of that book was a diagram of the anatomy of a whale. Each body part was designated in Chinese Characters. There was something special about the language that I felt at that time which later supplied me with the interest to learn more. Fast forwarding to a little less than a year prior to now, my last night in my host town, I saw this poster while out drinking with a close friend of mine. It features a number of different whale species, and is drawn in the same style as the diagram I remember from the book that I received so many years prior. As I mentioned previously, I am not the kind of person to believe in things such as fate, but needless to say I found this coincidence a little hard to swallow.
