The war for water is going to be an interesting one.

I think I heard just the other day - from one of my professors - that China is building a dam (after a quick Google search it appears to be only one of many over the recent years) on a river that is apparently a major river for India.

My comfort level is walking on the sand just where my footsteps sink into it as the furthest reaches of the crashing waves soak up to my ankles before retreating and then assaulting again a few seconds later.

Might as well try it, a bit of interactive manga never hurt anyone. No sir, this is not going to have any unexpected repercussions at all. Just your daily dose of moe without any complications.
