Kenroku-en Garden, The Contemporary museum, the way the trees are strung with twine during winter to prevent snow is very artful as well as the special coverings hand tied in the samurai area. The curries are very good there.

Despite the old stereotype of Japan being a futuristic nation that produces the technology of tomorrow, a lot of it’s institutions are still using very outdated technology.

Fax is still very actively used

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
