March 15, 2012 - the US will put FTA with Korea in force and the tariff on car from the US will decrease in Korea. 
Although it is not related to Japan at first sight, this may also bring benefit to our country.

As well as the appreciation of yen against US dollars, that against won is accelerating nowadays. 
In response to this economic situation, Mitsubishi, one of Japanese automobile company, decided to export their cars produced in the US to Korea. 
It seems to alleviate costs caused by strong yen. 

Honda and Toyota are trying to do the same products. The US was a place of producing cars just for the local market until last year, but the transformation to the place for the international market will accelerate in this year.

There is nothing to say from me. 
Please see this movie.

I didn't know this shocking situation in Uganda.
But I'm so glad that 
I finally could know it 
and I joined the power to change the society. 

Now we get a new means to create our society.
We can get together through SNS, even if we didn't know each other until yesterday.




Japan will evacuate TOKYO in nuclear crisis?

It's been almost a year since the devastating earthquake happened. I was in my hometown and stayed with my mom. 
At first, I thought this earthquake would have been Tokai earthquake, which many scholars have anticipated for a long time, because even in my hometown, I felt strong shaking. But actually this happened in Tohoku area. 

I was worried my friends in Tokyo. Many media broadcasted the unbelievable situation that all the transportation system got out of control and people filled the road. They could not go home at that night. 

What if the earthquake happen again near the same area? 
Many scholars suggest that Fukushima Daini and other nuclear plants may cause melt down. Then Tokyo, the capital of Japan, would lose the whole electricity. We finally have reached the point that we have to think about evacuation of Tokyo.

Putin said "Just let them fear us."

This Sunday, Russia will hold the presidential election, which Putin will be reappointed for sure. Russian channel one reported Monday that Chechen's rebel warlord were planing to assassinate Putin with powerful explosion after the election. He was already informed it and he said in the first comment on plot that he wasn't intimidated. 

"People in my position have to live with it. If you fear that, it would be impossible to carry on. Let them be afraid of us." 

It definitely makes sense, but if Japanese president were in the same position, he would not say like this.
