    Omai wa Korosu!

    Am I ready for Japan?

    you is/are dead/kill
    It's probably "dakara nan de" which means so why? or how come? or literally therefore what for?

    Omae wo korosu means I'm going to kill you or you are dead like sangai said. (edited to correct a painfully simple mistake)

    Well I was referring to Indians or Pakistanis or any other non-Asians who like to refer to themselves as Asians, who visit Japan. The Japanese tend to look down on darker toned people, including anything darker than yellow. Therefore, if you're not yellow, you're not Asian, and hence the Japanese will look down on you. They wouldn't treat you badly, just not as friendly. I was just joking about that.

    Well sometimes when you want something so much and it's out of your reach, jealousy and envy ensue and you end up hating the thing, or at least hating someone who gets to enjoy the thing while you cannot. It's like I was saying about a yellow person who speaks English in a foreign country that really likes the language; sometimes people think you are showing off.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
