There was a lot of news in Japan this week. It started with a killing spree in the busy Tokyo district of Akihabara and ended yesterday with a huge 7.2 earthquake north of Tokyo but which we felt all the way down in Yokohama (south of Tokyo). Even though the rocking we felt was mild, I had a feeling it was a big earthquake because it
lasted so long. Several people died and there was widespread damage including landslides. .
There were other, less sensational stories in the news including a story in the Los Angeles Times about four Yakuza (Japanese mafia) members who received liver transplants at UCLA medical center and then donated $100,000. I find the story
on Japan slimming down very funny

on Japan slimming down very funny but also very insightful.
