Za George & Keiko Japanese Topics Show

For anyone looking to learn Japanese (while having fun and not spending huge amounts on expensive and sleeping inducing text books) you will find 'Za George & Keiko Japanese Topics Show' which I found while browsing Google Video worth a look at. This may just be a free sample though. The video linked to the YesJapan site where they seem to have a lot of other useful looking content that may be worth paying for.

JConcierge

I recent met Nobutaka Shinogi through OpenBC although I first heard of their service through the Being A Broad. JConcierge is a premier support service for non-Japanese people living in Japan. You pay a fixed fee (from 105,000 yen) for a certain number of points and then use these points to pay for services as you need them. Services include translation, language coaching, remote assistance, travel and shopping advice, and consultation about life in Japan. I think it's a great service and Shinogi-san is a great, genuine, friendly guy so would really like to see JConcierge grow and prosper. Please pass on the web address to any of your network who may be interested.

Photos Being Moved to Flickr

My previous selection of photos on this site was getting somewhat random and meaningless so I've started using Flickr - "almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world". It really does have a lot of good features for organizing, describing, grouping and editing photos, including this groovy little flash panel that displays my latest pics.

A Great Day Out - Yokohama Triennale of Contemporary Art

I'll be honest - I'm not much of an art buff so wasn't especially looking forward to visiting the so-called 'Yokohama Triennale of Contemporary Art'. The main reason was that I was expecting your average 'art on the wall' type exhibition. My expectations were reversed and I was hugely  impressed by the huge exhibition experience taking place until December 18 in two huge warehouses with a total floor space of around 12,000 square meters on Yamashita Pier, a 10 minute walk from Motomach-Chukagai Station on the Minato Mirai Line in Yokohama (Japan).
