Ha ha ha look at this: 'Airport Security Checkpoint, From Playmobil' . Reviews on Amazon are funny, check them out.

I am so impressed by this news: 'Black Fungus Found in Chernobyl Eats Harmful Radiation. Sounds like the world of Nausica_of_the_Valley_of_the_Wind

I mentioned that Obama city in Fukui pref. supports Barak Obama. Then Obama sent a thank you letter to Obama city. I don't like this story because I think Obama city is trying to take advantage of the U.S election for its own publicity. I don't think it is good idea for a member of an official body to support a foreign political candidate or party.

Ex-Sumo wrestler KONISHIKI had a gastric bypass operation. He weighed about 600 pounds, which caused a lot of health problems.

I like this idea. YURIKAMOME is a monorail line run between Shiodome (where I work) and Odaiba. Last March, they had a special 'night scene' train. They turned off all lights in the train car so riders could enjoy the nice night view of Odaiba. They will have it again this year on March 22^nd, it will be so romantic.

Don't be too critical of Obama City. They are receiving very positive coverage in the US, and really are having no effect on voters. Their support demonstrates a good sense of humor to most Americans, and raises the profile of Obama City. It does not feel different than any group trying to interest and attract visitors. Yokoso Japan!
