Koohii Story 1 [fence; wall; (kokuji)] A fence separates one soil from the other. On a large scale, large pieces of soils in the world have a virtual fence called nation. Picture a world map where all countries have their soil with one color, their national flag as the legend and a fence on the borders... don´t you think it looks like a giant puzzle?
Koohii Story 2 Why the Earth has to be fenced off and flags used to represent each "country" is a puzzle to me - we´re all just monkeys on a big rock spinning round the Sun!
