I think I'll pay more attention to this from now on.http://wiki.chakuriki.net/index.php/ファイル:Kumamoto_Manhole.jpgファイル:Kumamoto Manhole.jpg - chakuwiki 2013-11-22 22:03 JSTThough Kumamoto seems to have been spared thus far (thankfully), nearby Nagasaki and Oita have been sites of anti-foreign hate speech demonstrations.http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201311070011Hate speech protests spreading to smaller cities around Japan - AJW by The Asahi Shimbun 2013-11-22 21:16 JSTRKK's report about Kumamon visiting Harvard and other points in Boston. http://youtu.be/Ey8ATxFgdos 2013-11-22 15:29 JSTAccording to the article that accompanies the picture, Kumamoto Prefecture cooperated in the development of this car. Here's something I found about the history of Honda in Kumamoto:"The Kumamoto factory was built in 1974 as part of Honda’s efforts to modernize their production facilities. The CB650 production occured at this plant. Today, Kumamoto is the site of Honda’s newest facility which will consolidate motorcycle manufacturing in one plant, taking on production from the plant in Hamamatsu and the plant in Marysville, Ohio, USA."http://www.sohc4.net/honda-factories/http://www.earthtechling.com/2013/11/honda-unveils-new-small-sized-electric-car/Honda Unveils New Small Sized Electric Car « 2013-11-20 11:19 JSTMitsubishi Electric to Build New Engineering Facility in … 2013-11-20 11:01 JSTThe Myokensai festival in Yatsushiro starts on the 23rd.熊本県八代市 国重要無形民俗文化財 八代妙見祭 (this post) 2013-11-19 08:23 JSTDon't ask a police officer to give you directions if you don't have your residency card:http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national-news/2013/11/17/393870/Taiwan-couple.htmTaiwan couple claims mistreatment in Japan 2013-11-18 09:13 JSTHere's a guide (alas, in Japanese, but it should be better than nothing) to winter illumination displays in the Kumamoto area: downtown Kumamoto, Aso Farmland, and the Saishunkan complex:http://xmas.walkerplus.com/list/ar1043/熊本県のクリスマスイベント・イルミネーション情報 | クリスマス特集2013 - Walkerplus 2013-11-18 09:08 JSTI know it's a bit early, but a friend was asking about when the major fireworks shows will be held next year. I think many of the dates have yet to be set but the information about 2013 on this page should give a general indication of what to expect in 2014:http://www.kumamotonavi.jp/hanabi2013/2013 熊本県内の花火大会情報 2013-11-17 17:00 JSTThis is related to the Minamata Convention. Reading this article made me wonder if I have any amalgam fillings. As far as I can figure out at this point, amalgam (which contains mercury) has been used in Japan and, though reduction has been called for, has not yet been banned. It might be a good idea to double check before you have a cavity filled.http://news.yahoo.com/industry-leader-censors-stories-written-dental-news-reporters-124900284.htmlIndustry Leader Censors Stories Written by Dental News Reporters 2013-11-15 12:56 JSTHarvard Degree: The Political Economy of Kumamon
