McDonald's Around the World

It all started with the Samurai Pork Burger. I saw this advertised outside a McDonald's in Bangkok back in 2004 and was somewhat perplexed. Why is it a Japanese name when I’m in Thailand? And what do Samurai have to do with pork? Actually, why is it called Samurai at all? Sadly, I never actually found out any of the answers, but it made me start paying closer attention to McDonald's every time I went to another country in Asia.

In Singapore, the national obsession with rice extends to having rice cakes in your burger.

Seaweed Flavoured Fries

Also, see below-right: the tasty tentacle snack from Japan. Yum.

In Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim country, chicken is far more popular than beefburgers (and, of course, the Samurai Pork Burger would be completely taboo). Hence you get combo sets of chicken, rice and Coke:

Japan Plans Solar Station in Space

clipper's remarks: The next step, expected around 2020, would be to launch and test a large flexible photovoltaic structure with 10 megawatt power capacity, to be followed by a 250 megawatt prototype.

JAXA says the transmission technology would be safe but concedes it would have to convince the public, which may harbour images of laser beams shooting down from the sky, roasting birds or slicing up aircraft in mid-air.

Clip Source: www.news.com.au

IT MAY sound like sci-fi, but Japan is dead serious: by 2030 it wants to collect solar power in space and zap it down to Earth, using laser beams or microwaves.

The government has picked a group of companies and a research team to turn the ambitious, multi-billion-dollar dream of unlimited clean energy into reality.

Now Japan's bold plan is the Space Solar Power System (SSPS), in which arrays of photovoltaic dishes several square kilometres in size would hover in geostationary orbit outside the Earth's atmosphere.

Since solar power is a clean and inexhaustible energy source, we believe that this system will be able to help solve the problems of energy shortage and global warming," researchers said

Researchers are targeting a one gigawatt system, equivalent to a medium-sized atomic power plant

Anime Japan’s Manga Hentai Wonder Festival

clipper's remarks: Wonder Festival was first held in 1985. Japanese animation was still very much a niche interest even in its home country, and the major kit manufacturers were only interested in major TV franchises.
It seems, even organizers do not foreknow, who and how many figures will decide to parade. Heroines numerous anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai with own hand created characters. Practically any figure has an erotic hentai orientation.

Japan’s Wonder Festival

anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai

The fans who founded Wonder Festival had started running science fiction conventions in Osaka in 1981, with Daicon III, whose opening animation has become famous among anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai fans. They used the experience and contacts they gained to set up General Products, Japan’s first specialty science fiction store. Wonder Festival was a logical extension of the store. A number of the group went on to form anime studio GAINAX, creators of such hits as Evangelion, and in 1990 General Products withdrew from Wonder Festival and merged with GAINAX to focus on animation. They later fictionalized their memories of the period in Otaku no Video.

Japan Airlines executives to forgo pay

Japan Airlines executives to forgo pay in December

Japan Airlines (JAL) said Monday its executives would receive no pay in December as the struggling carrier needs to cut costs in the face of massive losses

The move will affect JAL president Haruka Nishimatsu and some 70 other company officials, a spokesman for the airline said.

JAL also wants to skip payment of customary winter bonuses to 17,000 non-executive employees although a formal decision has not been made yet, he said.

"Since we have asked for public money, we must strive to cut costs," the spokesman said.

Unlike their US peers, Japanese executives have largely avoided a row over excessive corporate pay during the economic downturn by cutting their own pay and making other financial sacrifices.

Nishimatsu is known for taking the bus to work with regular commuters and lining up with other employees for lunch in the company cafeteria.

career which is rewarding but is highly demanding too. CNA jobs can cause stress and burnouts. So you have to think wisely before choosing CNA as a career.

Octopus with nine arms

An octopus with nine arms was spotted at the Marusan Seafood Shop in Marugame, Japan (Kagawa prefecture) on October 26, one day after it was caught in the Seto Inland Sea.

Masa Koita, the 60-year-old shop manager, noticed the abnormal Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) after he had boiled it in preparation for market.

Octopus has 8 arms in case you don’t know… in fact the word Octopus is derived from Greek word which literally translate to ‘eight-legs’.

People often referred to the arms as tentacles, but it is not a biological correct term. Octopuses don’t have tenctacles, squids do.
