As you spent time living in Japan, wonder if while there if you ever heard anything of an old Japanese myth of a person's personality being determined by their blood type?
Yes – of course! Not a myth – it’s the Japanese version of the horoscope. (Of course they also subscribe to the zodiac-based horoscope, as well as the Chinese zodiac.) I don’t believe in horoscopes – never have. BUT…Upon meeting me, people in Japan always asked me what blood type I was, and I said “guess!” You know what they guessed? A! Always, A. And I *am* blood type A. Hub is blood type B, and apparently is the quintessential B. I always thought there was no truth to the belief in blood type determining personality, but goshdarnit if we both don’t typify that ol’ Blood Typing [myth?]. And I was also surprised that in the U.S. babies are not bloodtyped in the hospital – I had to specially request it when Lil Tot was born, since I and all the Japanese inlaws were just dying to know. [He is O, just like my brother.] I wonder where that saying “Type A Personality” comes from, hmmm?
What Blood Type are you?

Wow I've never heard of that before, very interesting stuff. Mine is O positive…I'm probably going to look up what mine says about me just for fun lol
I've never heard of that either. That's interesting and kind of strange lol. I don't even know what my type is. It does explain the “type A personality” though…
*I would be totally weirded out the first time someone seemingly randomly asked me my blood type, were you?
It is cool to find out about different cultures.
