A couple of new blogs

July 1st, 2008 Peter Korkala

Today I’ve adde a couple of new (for me) Japan-related blogs to my blogroll: MichaelMcKinlay.com, Mottekaero jDonuts and Nick Ramsay’s Blog.

It’s very fun to read these blogs, and the owners seem to be very nice people. You have to love the net – It doesn’t matter if you’re in Sweden or in the USA, you can still be a part of (or at least read about) the daily life in Japan!

The people hired to push people into the train is called Oshiya in Japanese. In what other cities are there people hired to push people?

Japan blogs

May 17th, 2008 Peter Korkala

I’ve added two links in the blogroll. The links are Tokyo-Tom and Japan Explained. I’m very interested in Japan, especially the daily life of ordinary people, and there will certainly be more links in the Japan-related category.
