Suckers! I checked the cost of flights coming to Japan from Korea and going to Korea from Japan. The former 1/3rd the cost of the latter, under the same carrier.

People struggle with their umbrellas in Tokyo

Those umbrellas have a mind of their own don't they. Mine didn't co-operate today so I tossed it aside like the piece of crap it was. Lucky there were no Sankei Shimbun photographers around to see me litter on the street.

Model Rie Hasegawa and professional handball player Daisuke Miyazaki pose with Sony’s new Handycam HDR-TG1. The model is 32 millimeters wide, 119 millimeters high and 63 millimeters long.
