If anybody is interested, the autumn leaves up in Hakone around Gora are really good at the moment. Went up there on Sunday to take some photos. However, given the crowds, I would recommend that people try midweek.

Does such ideas just represent poor translations of the original Japanese? The reason I ask this is that considering history, an the Japanese preoccupation with the Great East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere (back in the day), I would have thought any contemporary Japanese leader would avoid using terms such as "fraternity"…

With 5 Japanese nationals arrested in just one week, would it be possible to call such activities a new national pastime?
