A note from the Kumamoto International What I Learned Today desk (shared with the What I Forgot Today desk due to cranial space issues):
¹: If you have a Japanese-enabled computer, you can write “1” and other numerals in many ways.
🉂: Something called the Border Gateway Protocol exists, which knocked Facebook off this morning.
參: This is the most awesome way to write “3.”
肆: Aso UNESCO Global Geopark is one of about 140 worldwide which seek to instruct and preserve a relationship between humans and a biosphere. Aso’s membership was recently renewed. Their Website is here: http://www.aso-geopark.jp/en/about/index.html , and you should probably follow them on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/AsoGeopark/ - William
