Sex in the City Adelaide and Tokyo Version
2008-05-30 22:34:00 Sex sells they say and with a great deal of coverage of this film, I felt it important to bring this important news.Adelaide has made it into the big time with the first ever Sexpo being held here. While I didn't attend, I did complain to the advertising regulator that it was being promoted early in the evening on commercial television. It really did generate a lot of free publicity with all the news programmes covering it. Major step forward for Adelaide with the coming out of the Sex Industry.Being a little prudish by nature I was interested to see that the first ever Sexpo had also recently been held in Tokyo. Based on my experience in Japan I got the feeling that this sort of stuff would be more out in the open, but it seems that it is not the done thing to wander around Sex Exhibitions in Japan.Japan recently had its first-ever adult expo at the Makuhari Messe convention center near Tokyo. In a press release the organizers of the "Adult Treasure Expo" vowed to "draw the adult ...

The hamburg was more like American meatloaf, gyoza was nothing special, and I thought the price was little too much.

Japan National Railway Workers Union demo
2008-05-27 18:00:00 ????? I was cycling around Akasaka and Nagatacho at lunchtime today, enjoying the cool, dry sunny weather ? a pleasant respite from the recent cloudiness and beginnings of summer mugginess. I happened upon this demonstration happening directly across from the National Diet Building. It was in support of a case that goes back no less than 21 years!Back on April 1, 1987, Japan Railways was privatized. According to the National Railway Workers Union (Kokuro), its members were unfairly treated by the new rail companies created by privatization. In November 2006, legal action by Kokuro resulted in Supreme Court decisions ordering compensation for union members. It is an extremely convoluted story, but there remain 1,047 laid off union members from that time whose cases have yet to be settled.You can?t tell from the photo, but there was a considerable police presence (the Kasumigaseki) area is always swarming with them anyway, and I got dirty looks from a few police simply for showing an ...
