I'm planning to have this as a recurring category of posts, providing that I find material which I deem to be worthy of entering the list. Given the world we live in, I feel rather confident that I'll be successful.
Starting with a somewhat old one: Letter to emperor sparks Japan row.
When I hear the word Japan a few things come to mind: technology, the Game Boy, sushi, technology, the Wii, manga & anime, technology, a certain film and of course, TECHNOLOGY. And then you read this: "Many conservatives still consider the emperor and his family divine". A divine emperor??? In one of the world's most advanced countries... How? Why?
And then, you also get this, in a neighbouring country: Upset Boyfriend Commits Suicide In Mall After Clothes Shopping Argument
I'll be honest, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I mean, we all joke about how shopping trips are the death of us (excuse the pun), but this is beyond me. And I'm not trying to be funny here. This is actually sad, tragic and upsetting. What's up with the Far East?
