Posted in: Harvest Festival in Tochigi a perfect weekend getaway See in context
I went to this in 2007 or 2008 and it was fantastic! Much recommended. Take some warm clothes though. Be prepared to wait in line for the washroom too.
It's a great opportunity for mentally challenged people to socialize and feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

Posted in: Japanese cooking shows and the loss of sanity See in context
While I enjoy watching shows where they show cooking in detail, I really disliked the constant "oishiiii" and "umaaaaaaaaaaai" type segments. Sometimes they don't even show the food prep, just the tarento eating it and having a face-gasm.
I'm also glad that I'm not the only one to notice the jiggly closeup shots.

Posted in: Tatami rooms don't agree with G-8 visitors See in context
I think it had less to do with the futon/tatami, and more to do with the lack of chair/desk/internet/shower in room.

A family car is a good idea, for parents with children. It should be placed near the elevator entrances if possible too, and marked well on the platform.

How can they make these claims of fat burning? If sitting in a tub with some powder equalled exercise, wouldnt it be some kind of miracle? It just seems so hokey to me. Aren't there controls over what kind of claims a product can make?
