Meaning Mnemonic

The mountain on top of the cliff is dry from the coast below. Just from looking at the raging shore below, you'd think everything would be wet, it's splashing everywhere!

Hints

You're on top of the mountain and the entire coast is stretching out below. The shore goes as far as your eyes can see.

Reading Mnemonic

Sitting up there, watching the coast with you, is Gandhi (がん). The world famous Gandhi, is just hanging out up here with you, looking down at what you now realize must be a coast in India.

Hints

Sit down next to Gandhi and close your eyes. You can hear the water hitting the shore below. The coastal birds are screaming. You crack open an eye and see Gandhi still sitting perfectly still.
