On sounds...

I was just starting an episode of this series and I remembered about this. BTW: If you've never seen this series, it is either the creepiest of most off-the-wall series you'd see, depending on if you know much about anime.

This is easily the most surprising thing I have found since I came here: many of the sounds which I hear around the area are not unfamiliar sounds. The insects and birds around here I've heard from the TV shows, and the first time I heard the train bells go off wasn't surprising, and I know what it was immediately. (for reference, the trains are like Chicago, but they run right on street-level, so you have lights and sirens all around)
