Two nice topic from foreign sites,
Waaaaaaaaaa!! Oh, what are they doing!, he looks like he has a booty fetish :-) This is very good, smoking jacket, you can see what is going on your lung while you are smoking.
Ohhhh Kakkoii!! (cool!!) Japan HDR. HDR is high dynamic range imaging, they made effects to HRD photos. Japan looks like the world of Game or Horror movies :-) I like regular neighborhood this and this. Really looks evil. I like new areas and buildings but when I see these photos, I understand that old and traditional places have a lot of charm .
I wrote about Molester (Chikan in Japanese) before, because of only women's car and harder penalty, I guess the number of molesters is getting lower, but still we have them and maybe the number of false accusation is getting higher too. To prevent such false accusation, a mail order magazine "Tsuhan Seikatu" sells a strange item "my own hand strap" (524yen), even if you are in the center of the train and there is no strap, as long as you have this, nobody will accuse you. Ha! It looks like a silly joke item, but they sold out all 50 pieces of stock in one day!! Actually Tsuhan Seikatsu is not joke magazine; they sell very nice and useful items. Here is their 2007 best selling items. Since the target of the magazine is middle- and old-age, the list is severe but I think the quality is nice.
1.medical pillow (made in Italy) : the pillow is used at many hospitals, it’s good for your body structure and stiff shoulders. Hmm I want it.
2.Book shelf : the big one can have 600 books.
3.humidifier (made in Swiss) : I hate air heaters, so I use an oil heater at home. I want this at my work.
4.Sanyo rice cooker : We believe that rice cooked in the traditional way (pot and fire) is delicious. This rice cooker can cook rice in similar way
5.Codeless vacume. : Codeless cleaner is weak usually, but the cleaner is powerful because it’s made for business use.
6.Balance chair (made in Norway) : I want this very much. I have very bad position when I sit.
7.Sawing machine : the point of this machine is soooo slow speed. It’s not scary.
8.Step Machin (made in USA) : I had one before but I sold it.
9.film mirror : Since it is a film, it's very light, and it's easy to hang on anytype wall..
10 Boze CD player : It has compact size and good quality sound. *
Here is the information about the worlds current issues.

Some of it may be junk, but that 600 volume bookshelf could be the answer to my dreams.

Those HDR photos (the neighbourhood ones) reminded me of the video game Silent Hill! T__T But that's really an awesome technique, the photos are amazing. :D

Save your money. Many of the items are junk. The balance chair is not really a good product. American thrift stores are full of discarded ones. The cordless vacuum's suction is probably too weak to be effective. Bose may have good sound but how many people have CDs? The medical pillow is very funny. In the US a popular item is a buckwheat "medical" pillow from Japan. I'm also pretty skeptical of the sewing machine.
