He doesn`t seem to have a full time job. So does he rack this up on Shakai Hoken or Kokumin Hoken?

Prince Akishino serves as Honorary Patron of the Japan-Netherlands Society.

****So my crew and I get our gear, including a heavy tripod, camera and a boom mic with one of those big fuzzy things on the end that looks like a giant cattail. Fantastic. This should be interesting. We arrive at the shrine. The weather is good; there are loads…

‘‘The only certain way to assure that nuclear weapons will never be used again is to eliminate them outright.’’

That`s right. But your chances of getting hit by one are a lot less if you refrain from sneaky Sunday morning bombing raids and raping and pillaging South-East Asia.

With the developing story being shown throughout the day on TV, this feels a little like the movie "Farenheit 451". Soon viewers might all be requested to stand out on their balconies or at their front doors to create a nationwide net.

Close described Bauer as “an artist whose first love is photography. He’s also linguistically gifted and just wanted to immerse himself in the Middle East.”

Well...you can`t get much more immersed in the Middle East than this. Time to put those language skills to the test!

So the author and his mates move from their safe European homes to provincial Japan, criticize the place, and expect it to change for their benefit?

I laughed when I saw his CD covers on TV. I`ve never heard of his band. Must have had a niche audience.

Orion is a great summer beer. Ebisu is usually my tipple though.

I tried Suntory Premium simply because Ayase Haruka swilled every week on a TV programme a couple of years back, but I found it had a nasty chemical aftertaste.
