    If you actually enjoy beer and are in Japan you must try Baird Brewery out of Numazu, Shizuoka. But I must warn you, it becomes hard to drink the local mass-produced beverages after quaffing this quality brew. Have 2 locations in Tokyo - Tap Room in Naka-Meguro and one in Harajuku. In a pinch Yebisu is decent enough.

    Outside of think tanks and college poli sci classes how many Americans think of strategic interests, ever? Funny how the bring up the dugong - amtracks (amphibious troop carriers) have been running around in those waters near Camp Schwab for decades. If the dugongs are there, they must not care about 26 ton diesel-powered monsters swimming around. Not mention there have been helicopters doing refueling and dropping recon Marines there since forever. I dove there almost weekly for a year back in '84 and never saw or heard of them. In fact, if they are endangered, it is because of the rampant development of the the non-military parts of the island.

    sure because that is somehow better than using your cell phone? Staring at your wrist and waiting to see a message scroll that you can't reply to and can't see pics. Kudos Citizen, I am rushing out now to Bic Camera to buy one...not.

    YES...a quick googling assured me that her future lies in making music and videos with the occasional picture book. Seems to have decent English and Spanish pronunciation. She has all the assets...

    Same reason cops ride bicycles and horses, visibility and mobility. Plus these are quiet and can turn on dime.

    Actually, I must admit I am wrong after seeing the poster on the Hibiya-sen earlier.

    Interesting to see when the first Ene-farm burns in a house fire and if they remain popular after that.

    You don't have theaters in your own country so you are going to fly here to see this flick - wow. Where are you, Pago Pago?

    This may encourage recidivist behaviour amongst the bar-code set.

    Perhaps I'm zany but products called "Triple Free", and "Off" and the like don't seem too appealing to me as beverages. Many of the faux-beers here have names that just say "FAIL" to me. Of course, I'm not part of the intended demographic.

    Just because a service already exists doesn't mean there isn't room for a similar service with a twist or two. I may give it whirl as it sounds pretty risk free for me the seller. How about obatarians? I bet some people in New Yawk might think they are the cat's pajamas. I'll go take some pix now in the park.

    Generally, the taliban lack ability to fight effectively at night, night vision technology being expensive to obtain and difficult to maintain over time.

    Actually, until it proved that the parents and relatives are dead, they are NOT orphans. They obviously need food, shelter and medical care but until local authorities and UNICEF, etc establish that the parents and any other close blood relatives are not of this world, no one should be swooping in and taking them out of their country, good intentions or not.

    sorry, unless it is a tofu burger on a rice bun, it is an american burger. He cut his chops at the Golden Arches, which is a masterful business at logistics, marketing and process. Then he learned to make actual burgers that sell for a lot at Kua Aina. I am not seeing anything Japanese about what he is doing.

    Some people don't know how long they will stay and in her case she is probably emotionally disturbed and knew (on some level) she was committing fraud. I have stayed at hotels in quite a few countries for more than a month but of course always had a credit card registered unless it was bungalow on the beach in Koh Tao. Here in Tokyo a weekly mansion would make a lot more sense, for sensible folks.

    The crotchbomber had a one-way ticket because he had a multiple-entry visa to the US (scary but true). Most people in Africa (and Tokyo for that matter) pay cash for tickets, that is meaningless in this context. Of course, he had a valid passport. The no luggage and entry/exit stamps to Yemen months earlier and the fact the he is a young muslim traveling alone, should be criteria that get him pulled aside for deeper questioning and a thorough screening.
