Are Japanese stores just trying to make more sales by starting early It just seems too early. ;-) A Japanese person told me that he saw chicken and cake in a movie "Christmas Carol". I'm sure it was a turkey and traditional Christmas cake. ;-)"

However after several years some servers' name get changed while some are taken off service. Unfortunately the people who are changing server names and also depreciating servers do not always contact me. There are also some servers like those used by recruiting that are only used several times a year and not up (i.e. not able to ping). As such I can't just delete entries that don't return a ping."

"Japanese farmers rally around Aoyama Park It's sakura season at sakura at Aoyama ceremetary is beautiful as always. Unfortunately loud noise disturbing the scene. Went to see what was happening and it was those farmers holding a rally calling on people to eat more rice vegetable and fruits. Well if they were cheaper I think more people would eat them. Getting government to heavy support often ends up destroying the industry because they just become too unproductive to compete. Wonderful scenery destroyed by all those noise. They at least should have picked some where that don't disturb people"

"Chinese woman got arrested for not showing her driver license Didn't know this. Even if to refute the ticket it's still necessary to show the license not to get arrested. "I don't want to show my driver's license" - Why was a woman from China arrested A crackdown on a stop sign violation develops into "unexpected trouble". What are people's reactions Harsh comments are also heard . if you refuse to present your driver's license when you commit a traffic violation you may be considered to be "failing to reveal your identity = risk of fleeing or destroying evidence" and you may be arrested."

However after several years some servers' name get changed while some are taken off service. Unfortunately the people who are changing server names and also depreciating servers do not always contact me. There are also some servers like those used by recruiting that are only used several times a year and not up (i.e. not able to ping). As such I can't just delete entries that don't return a ping."
