First of all, best wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2017. 2016 was a busy year for this page. The quake more than doubled our readership but, of course, I would have preferred the quiet of a normal year. This year, I hope that we will be able to focus on innocuous news and information about events, etc. If our readership flatlines or even declines because Kumamoto is just too darn safe and peaceful to be interesting, that will be just fine with me.
Speaking of innocuous news items, Kumamon is starting a cafe in Shanghai! Yipee! ;)
