Beer

JapanSugoi.com reported on the introduction of chocolate beer to Japan (by a Japanese brewer). Good stuff. We’ve got some here in the UK too, and Yuko is rather fond of it.
However, it seems the Japanese haven’t stopped there yet. We have Milk Beer too!

Rugby

The 6 Nations starts up this weekend, with Wales playing (favourites for the championship) Ireland on Sunday, in Cardiff. Yuko and myself will probably head down into town to soak up some of the atmosphere and good banter that goes on between the Irish and Welsh fans.
We couldn’t get tickets for this game… but Yuko and I are certainly planning on watching Wales vs Japan in the World Cup game that’s played in Cardiff later this year. I doubt though that Japan will be fielding this guy in the team. Good on the fella though!

GW and PO Update

Japundit.com reported on the rather warmer than normal winter this year in Japan (kinda like the UK). Global Warming? Well, we don’t know 100% that it is, but the odds are pretty high in my humble opinion.
Meanwhile, is Venezuela preparing for Peak Oil? They seems to be learning a lot from the Cubans anyway (who ‘felt Peak Oil’ a long time ago due to political reasons rather than geological ones).

… and finally, otaku go mad again in Japan

This time it’s over the release of Windows Vista.
These launch day events in Japan are nuts.
