News Corner


Here are a few interesting articles I found on Japan, from around the web.

Quirky.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/asia/news/article.cfm?l_id=3&objectid=10803249  "Smart Budgie"

Technology.

http://newsonjapan.com/html/newsdesk/article/95860.php  Biometric palm reading ATM's.I
wonder if people can use hand prints or what are the security measures involved, I have seen
 some disturbing things in movies with eye scan security or thumb pad security.

Society.

http://newsonjapan.com/html/newsdesk/article/96231.php Parasite problem , it's not what you think!

Environment


http://edition.cnn.com/2012/05/07/world/asia/japan-nuclear-energy-ends/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
Japan has shut down the last online nuclear reactor..and I still have electricity! I think it really shows
that Japan had some over capacity with 49  nuclear reactors offline and still the country functioning.
There must have been a lot of back room deals and favours to get many of them built in the first place.
I really hope Japan puts more effort into finding alternate sources of power generation,though it will take time, effort and a lot of money to move away from nuclear energy.

Look closely at this photo, above the draw handle on this kitchen cabinet. It says "Pain Village"

I think it was supposed to say "Pine" as the draws are wooden.

News Corner


I would like to share this article I found on on CNNgo .as it refers to Osaka .It may be interesting for those who enjoy shopping. Many people who travel to Japan think that Tokyo is where it is at, but this article suggests otherwise.

I may be a bit biased after living in Osaka for the past 4 years, but I hope you enjoy the article :D
