Meh food, was like 45 minutes late and super cheap and broken in-flight entertainment (my 240p monitor froze ten minutes after take off).

The Internet is leaking out. Mind you I don't drink if we were to meet. I also would make a bad tourist guide
Hmmm...who is that?
On an unrelated note, this:

I've been wondering about this. All you guys who are proficient in two or more languages, do you have a strongly preferred language of thought?
I personally switch from thinking in Dutch and in English from moment to moment. I suppose I think slightly more often in English than in Dutch, but it greatly depends on the situation.
For example on the internet my preferred language of thought is English. When randomly thinking about 'stuff'' or philosophizing English too. But when talking to friends or family I talk in Dutch, so I switch to Dutch as language of thought as well. When doing mathematics it depends on whether the literature I'm using is in Dutch or English. Sometimes when I'm writing a proof I can switch accidentally between writing in English or Dutch half when starting a new paragraph. Some other mathematics students have reported the same, but I wonder how it's for you guys as well.
Hmm I don't really think in any single language, having to express things in a language is actually a limitation to me. My mind is more like a bunch of images or feels.
My language background:
Mandarin - Primary, perhaps.
English & Malay - Been dealing with these since primary school. Almost completely abandoned Malay nowadays though. And personally I just don't like both =_=
Japanese - Hmm, quite ok, I suppose. Only have a somewhat basic qualification though, the JLPT N1.
Btw, during my high school years, even though we were using english materials for science subjects like maths / physics / etc, discussions were in mandarin.
I once talked to a person who was fluent in mandarin, japanese, and english. It was an interesting experience for being able to switch between languages freely in conversation...
But...but....Uematsu!
Look how cute he is!
You'll not regret going to this concert. 100% sure.
I like your new avatar.
They do do curves and loops. Pffft, physics n00b.
No, no, no, my friend. Color space can be accurately represented as a copy of D^2, or I^3, but not R^3. The point is that there exsists a perfect black, for example. Hence it must be a compact space if you think about it.
I personally prefer seeing it as L^2 supported on the unit interval. That is, any square integrable distribution over the visible electromagnetic spectrum.
I thought light only do curves because the space itself curved...?
Sorry but what's D^2, I^3 and L^2? (n00b here~)

I know what you mean, i speak Portuguese and English, pretty distinct languages, and as you said, i also don't think in a language, it's more like an association of an object or feeling to some word in a language, it's kinda hard to define, but the language it's just a way to translate what i'm thinking to something that other people can understand, and the same is valid when i'm reading or listening to something, i don't translate the information that is coming, i just interpret it to make sense in my head, with no actual language attached.

Almost all of my conscious thought is in a spoken language. Whenever I'm thinking about something it's mostly in language. Abstract concepts are easier to work with by using language to manipulate them.
Maybe it kinda depends on the stuff you're thinking about too.
Given its birth as a foreign import, and the central role that foreign wheat plays in the dish, it’s odd that ramen would become a symbol of traditional Japan, but that’s exactly what happened.

D^2 is a filled disk. I^3 is a filled cube. L^2 is the space of square integrable functions (plus some minor details I'll leave out), i.e. if you square the function and then integrate it, the integral converges. Usually L^2 is taken over a closed interval, and not the whole of R (or other unbounded spaces) or open spaces (like the open unit interval (0,1)).
