Pizza in Japan is the stuff legends are made of. The delivery pizza in Tokyo that cost $100. The feelings of a homesick gaijin on being confronted with toppings like seaweed, mayonnaise and tuna, often on the same not-really-quite-pizza base. And, for those living in rural areas, the longing for even a pizza like that when the only place to eat out is the local soba shop.Most expats quickly adjust

ナナã¡ã‚ƒã‚“Nagoya is a fashion-conscious city. The prevailing creed: "If you have the cash - flaunt it!"This industrial, no-nonsense city has even spawned its own look among young women - the "Nagoya gyarusu ['gals']" trend.Carrot beehives, feather boas, tight, satin hot-pants even when the weather is hovering just above zero, high-heels, shed-loads of make-up and a Louis Vuitton accessory or six all thrown together for the complete "$50 hooker look."Well, its understandable when you consider one of the city's defining icons is the 7m (23ft) tall mannequin Nanachan. Turn right out of the Hirokoji exit of Nagoya Station and there she is -- white, bald, legs akimbo and very, very tall.Nanachan gets a makeover two or three times a month and usually dresses according to the season. This year the 600kg (1,325lb) girl with the 2m (78in) bust has been seen in a bikini, a festival happi coat and a Chunichi Dragons uniform after the local team won the Japan Series.At the minute Nanachan

THE NAGOYA PLAYERS PRESENT CHARLES DICKENS’ A CHRISTMAS CAROLﾅｺﾞﾔﾌﾟﾚｰﾔｰｽﾞNAGOYA, JP – October 14, 2007 – A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens directed by Patti Gage will be performed by The Nagoya Players on Saturday, December 1, with 2PM and 7PM performances, and Sunday, December 2, with 2PM and 6PM performances at the Meito Playhouse.A Christmas Carol takes place in the early 1800’s in London.

Scrooge and Bob Cratchit (Hiro Hirashiki), Scrooge’s ill-treated clerk, are busy at work. Disgusted by the Christmas atmosphere, Scrooge reluctantly allows Bob to take off on Christmas day. While preparing for bed after having eaten dinner alone, Scrooge notices a strange noise echoing throughout his house. He soon realizes that the noise is coming from his long-deceased partner, Marley
Following the news we reported today that a Japanese fighter jet that crashed after take-off and exploded in flames injuring the two crewmen, we have since learned that the airport (Nagoya) where this happened has been closed indefinitely.
Although Mitsubishi are still looking into what happened, the Mitsubishi F-2B which was being taken up on a test flight prior to being delivered to the Japanese air force had the flames extinguished 10 minutes after the crash.
The two crewmen that jumped from the burning fuselage were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Apart from this world-wide influence on the Japanese food, there have been numerous local factors to give variety to it. Thus there are such names in Japanese cuisine as Kwantō cuisine, Kwansai cuisine, Kyoto cuisine, Nagoya cuisine, etc., just as in Chinese they speak of the Peking, Shanghai, Canton, Szechwan, Yunnan cuisines. Besides, there were numerous provincial factors to influence the Japanese cuisine, contributed by the three hundred daimyō domains. These were attributable to their peculiar local products as well as to their respective native geniuses. There can be no cooking without food materials to be cooked. Thus the Tokyo cuisine means largely the food made of products of Tokyo and adjacent districts. As the culinary art improved the food materials, so did the materials fashion this art. In these years of improved transportation facilities, when the products of one prefecture are almost the same as the products of the whole nation, the demarcation between this and that c

Damengymnastik ist nicht der einzige Sport bei dem die TeilnehmerInnen vorher eine Stunde lang beim Friseur sitzen um anschließend maximal 5 Minuten so richtig anstrengend ins Schwitzen zu kommen. Dasselbe kann man auch über Sumo sagen. Das Turnier in Nagoya ist gerade erst zu Ende gegangen und Yokozuna Asashoryu hat als Sieger gezeigt dass wieder mit ihm zu rechnen sein wird...Für die einen ist Sumo eine seltsame Art Elefantenturnen, für die anderen eine Cultsportart, für geborene Japaner (und auch Mongolen) eine Religion. So wie in den letzten Jahren Roger Federer das Tennis dominiert hat, so dominierte Asashoryu den Sumosport. Es gibt zwischen den beiden durchaus Parallelen, aber auch Unterschiede.Asashoryu heißt mit bürgerlichem Namen Dolgorsuren Dagvadorj und stammt aus der Mongolei. Japaner haben das nicht sehr gerne wenn der Großmeister im Nationalsport Sumo aus dem Ausland kommt. Über 4 Jahre lang war Asa der alleinige Großmeister (Yokozuna) des Sports und die japanis
あおなみ線、名古屋After exploring the pleasant Nakasendo post towns of Akechi, Iwamura, Ogaki and Mitake recently, it was time for the contrast of some Nagoya urban grit.The over ground Aonami Line from Nagoya Station leads down to the sea and the artificial islands that make up Nagoya's vast port.The area around Kinjo Futo and Noseki Stations on the Aonami Line is one of huge public housing complexes, warehouses and the soaring bridges of the Ise Wan Gan Expressway.The Taiheiyo Ferry terminal for boats to Sendai is near Noseki Station and the Port Messe Nagoya Exhibition Hall is a short walk from Kinjo Futo Station. (Watch out for the dinosaur exhibition coming there soon July 20 - September 2).More surprising was a huge Italianesque Wedding Chapel near the sea with the attendant foreign cameraman waiting to video the bride and groom as they emerged from the church.Who would want to get married in a container port with a view of 1000s of cars lined up on the quayside waiting
