The strong earthquakes always seem to be happening between 2 and 3 pm. I am glad to hear that nothing bad happened this time to anyone.

Antarctica is definitely on my list, got the Lonely Planet already, but maybe not this year. I wanna go to Central Asia.

If you eat something greasy or take a spoonful of Olive oil or any other you don't get drunk that easily and you can avoid the hangover.

I hope to see him get married next year with an elaborate wedding ceremony that would put any European Royals to shame.

Apparently there was a natural disaster every month somewhere on our planet. I am glad to say good bye to 2011.

Elbuda, it just didn't match with the dog part. Maybe if I had seen it separately, I might have liked it more but even if I do now, I will always be reminded of the dog part and thus not like it.

To the Chinese, the Dragon is born in the most desirable year, so that can only mean more success in 2012.
Most people look up to the Dragon, a noble animal symbol that represents the Chinese emperors. Sarkozy must have studied a bit of Chinese culture.

That's the best news for this year and it comes on the last day of the year. This could not only save Japan but also Chernobyl. This would also mean that we don't have to worry about nuclear accidents in the future and we can continue using our cheap electricity. Toshiba really made a milestone in the history of this planet with this invention. Looking forward to reading more about it.

I find nothing to be insulting with this commercial, it is funny and had me laugh a lot and laughing is healthy; that is the dog part. The Smap part was really boring and spoiled the whole commercial.

Elvensilvan, however 41 cans in 14 locations are only 3 cans per location in average. That makes me really worry now about dumping any trash at any road station if we are that seriously monitored.

Edojin, I recommend you to stop taking New Guromont, it is laden with chemicals, have a good look at the label. Instead, opt for natural foods. Buy yourself a blender (Yen 1,900 at Aeon is the cheapest) and make mixed fruit/vegetable smoothies. Buy your fruits and veggies on Tuesdays, they are cheaper then and put them in the freezer. There are plenty of recipes on the net. Add some Barley grass powder for high levels of vitamin B1, calcium, iron, carotene and vitamin B12, available at any drugstore in Japan. It is repetive, preventive measures that will keep you fit and healthy. You can get Brazil nuts at Costco, they sell Mixed nuts (avoid the ones that contain peanuts). A handful of nuts every day works wonders. If you can't chew the nuts at 87, you could always grind them. If you are that worried about radiation, maybe you should think about another country to live.

It is best to start good nutrition asap, at 87 it is a bit too late. Just eating 2 Brazil nuts per day will provide you with the protective effects of selenium in humans against aging, other cancers, heart disease, cataracts, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and HIV infection. And just go out into the sun every day for at least 30 minutes for your vitamin D intake.

My fridge is already stocked with handmade soba and as for the ozoni, I think everybody has his own recipe. My husband always makes it and he got the recipe from his mother who got it from her mother who got it from her mother.

I don't understand why America is complaining, after all they imposed a departure/arrival tax of $13.40 for international visitors. The only ones who have the right to complain are the Chinese.
Lol, to be technically correct, they should charge it from April to October for global warming and refund it from November to March just so it stops being cold.

@gogo: The cans were 10 cm in diameter and at 5-6 cm in height, they came in the form of paste or liquid or semi-solids. Strange story with all the conbini trashcans, why go through such trouble. Maybe they just wanted to scare people or test how secure Japan was, it became expensive though.

Wow, I have never seen so many people together. That monument is impressive too. So, let's hope the new leader will do its best for the livelihood of the North Korean people. Please don't let anyone go hungry anymore would be my strongest wish.
