Who hasn’t experience #9 at least once in their life?
Yoshiro Nakamatsu, We Salute You
Thanks to Kory for the heads up on this guy—a goofy, lovable and generous mad scientist from Japan who’s working towards 6000 inventions before he dies at age 144. He has built an elaborate daily ritual which keeps him energized, loving life, and creating brilliant ideas left and right.
“In my country, the drive to succeed-and the competition-is unbelievably intense. From early on, Japanese children are under enormous pressure to learn. I was fortunate that my parents encouraged my natural curiosity along with my academic learning from the very beginning. They gave me the freedom to create and invent-which I’ve been doing for as long as I can remember.”
Japanese Man Makes Mexico Airport Home
Hiroshi Nohara is on a layover at the Mexico City airport. It has lasted almost three months, and he has no plans to leave.
For reasons he can't explain, the Japanese man has been in Terminal 1 of the Benito Juarez International Airport since Sept. 2, surviving off donations from fast-food restaurants and passengers and sleeping in a chair.
At first, he frightened passengers, and airport authorities asked the Japanese Embassy to investigate why the foul-smelling man refused to leave. Now, he's somewhat of a celebrity, capturing Mexico's collective imagination with nearly daily television news reports on his life at the food court.
Tourists stop to pose with him for photographs or get an autograph.
Japanese Are Irked by U.S. Interest in Pitcher
As far as Junichi Tazawa is concerned, the most rebellious acts in his 22 years have been ignoring his homework and sneaking home after sunrise. But as the first high-profile Japanese baseball prospect to turn down his nation’s leagues to entertain offers from Major League Baseball teams, he has found himself straining relations between baseball entities on two continents, with accusations of talent raiding and defiance of decades-long understandings.
Many Japanese baseball officials are outraged that United States teams are courting Tazawa, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher, because they insist it is long-established practice for amateurs like him to be strictly off limits to major league clubs. Even some American general managers, including the Yankees’ Brian Cashman, agree.
Gas Price Policy Has Motorists Enraged
An erratic economy is testing the way retailers at military bases in Japan and Okinawa price their gasoline.
The cost of gas has stagnated for five months despite a policy by the area’s main retailers to closely match domestic fuel prices. Motorists who buy gas on Japan and Okinawa bases now pay 96 percent more than the plunging U.S. average, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Two factors — free-falling prices in the States and the Department of Defense maintaining its current price structure — have prompted the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Navy Exchange retailers in Japan and Okinawa to keep pump prices unusually high.
AAFES is a bunch of fucking crooks, period, the end.
Nothing they have communicated to date has made any form of logical sense. The only intelligent rationalization is they are screwing over the military while they have the opportunity to do so.
AAFES is a bunch of fucking crooks. Stars and Stripes is no better, never once asking AAFES a single tough question, but instead merely regurgitating their “party line” answers.
Shame, shame, shame.
