If you get a chance to try fresh produce in the area, take advantage of it!http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002093753Rainbow of tomatoes pride of Kumamoto Pref. 2015-05-02 14:21 JSTFacebook makes it easy to donate.Donating to Nepal Earthquake Relief (this post) 2015-05-02 08:38 JSTThis is about the history of Christianity in Sakitsu Village, Amakusa. If you click on the photo, you'll be taken to a manga (in Japanese, alas) in which Kumamon explains the history of the hidden Christians and Japan's bid to get sites like Sakitsu recognized by UNESCO as world heritage sites. For an explanation in English and a Google map showing the location go tohttp://www.pref.nagasaki.jp/s_isan/en/assets/013/くまモンのじマンガ #01 世界遺産候補 崎津集落 | 熊本県の情報サイト「気になる！くまもと」 2015-04-30 22:08 JSTThe photos are from a show called Wakattorando (若っ人ランド) broadcast by TKU in the early morning hours of April 21. It's a knock off of an equally obnoxious program on national TV called "YOUは何しに日本へ". In both programs, the word "foreigner" is replaced with "you" (e.g. "I see a YOU over there") and foreigners are accosted by presumptuous, annoying interviewers. I occastionally encounter young people and drunks who seem to imagine that my being a foreigner gives them license to be obnoxious and make a big joke out of every little interaction. I think they get it from programs like this. All of the foreigners and family members who appeared in the program handled themselves quite well but I found Ogata, the male narrator immitating Bobby Ologun (the gaijin talent who narrates the nationally broadcast show), and the entire premise (let's make unreasonable requests of foreigners and see what they do) to be very disturbing. -- Posted by Kirk 2015-04-30 00:15 JSTEnjoy this report by Charmaine Minami:http://kurokawa-onsen.com/onsen-hop-7-san-ai-kogen-hotel/Onsen-hop #7 San-Ai Kogen Hotel 2015-04-27 19:14 JSTHere's an anouncement that I received in an e-mail from the Kumamoto City International Foundation*--------■Nabega-taki(waterfall) lighting-upNabega-taki is a beautiful waterfall which you can go behind.Time period: Sat., 2nd. ~ Wed., 6th.
