I have been to places in India where all walls has been red in a high of one to one and half meter.

I think that this is one reason why betel chewing is forbidden in some Asian countries now.

Our experiments confirm that it has significant activity on an important subtype of human nicotine receptor, but probably not the subtypes most likely associated with nicotine addiction.

Another reason is that there is growing appreciation for the fact that it causes oral cancers.

Visions and dreams are important to these peoples as well as the rest of the region. Perhaps the source of the carvings as well as the religions there.

I love the asos on the hilt and the silver inlay on the blade. Yours is the type I eventually want.
