It was MONOCLE, a British magazine on global affairs, business, culture and design that rank Tokyo as the most liveable city.

Give Abe San a break. He did what anyone could have possibly done dealing with a bunch of lunatic extremist who knows no reason. Iam no fan of him but given the circumstances around him, he managed the crisis well I'd say. Obama and Cameron in spite of their diplomatic clout and military capabilities failed as well to rescue their fellowmen murdered by ISIS. Do you think the DPJ or the Japan Communist Party would have done it better? Dream on, just looked back how horrible the DPJ manage to deal with the tripple disaster years ago, it was a hell of a mess. They practically 'froze' in their seat and was overwhelmed with events.

Hopefully it weakens. If it doesnt, be better prepared because I was caught in that super typhoon in the Philippines November last year that they are trying to compare it with. And that was hell! It flattened forest, coastal communities and practically uprooted everything along its path. Keep posted with the updates and take all necessary precaution.
