Well, you called "this" the "underworld" and I've never heard it referred to quite that way before. "Underworld" makes me think of the Mafia and other organized crime OR Greek and Roman mythology.  You know, Mickey, God of the Underworld and his dog Pluto who guarded the River Styx.  No -- wait a minute, I'm confusing Disney and Dionysus.

Anyway, what is this called in other cultures? In Japan, it's The Floating World and Mizu Shobai. In some places in the US, it's The Other World. After an old book about Boston's Combat Zone, it's "A Kind of Life" (as in 'that kind of life').

In England, "this" is called punting, I think. In addition to "hobbying" and "providing", what are some other ways of referring the "this" around the world?


Greek-y Myth: Pluto, Hades, Cerberus, Styx
Disney Myth: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy

Mickey filed for divorce from Minnie but the judge rejected his case. "I'm sorry, Mickey, but I can't grant a divorce on your allegation that Minnie is insane." "Your Honor, I didn't say that she was insane. I said that she was fucking Goofy."

Im trying to start a blog..but dont know exactly what to write about? Does anyone know any good topics providers can write about on their blogs concerning the "underworld"

If you do that with some style and passion, you'll find an audience.
