A discovery made in an ancient tomb near Kyoto may be a sign that the influence of the Roman empire reached the edge of Asia.
Glass jewellery believed to have been manufactured by Roman craftsmen was found in the Japanese tomb.
Three glass beads that were probably made sometimes between the first and fourth centuries AD were found in a fifth-century tomb in Nagaoka, Kyoto Prefecture. The beads were made using natron, a chemical substance that was used by Roman craftsmen to melt glass, according to the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties.

I'll tell you this. I tripped in Osaka and cut my arm because I was drunk. True story.

Now that's pushing the envelope. Glad you made it back in one piece or so. _________________

More like I was pushing the pavement with my flesh, or at least trying to do so.
It's all about a traveler's travails. Take the good with the bad.

Japan and South Korea on Friday postponed signing their first-ever military accord, aimed at sharing classified information, due to a last-minute request from Seoul amid concern about a public backlash over the strengthening of cooperation with the former colonial ruler of the Korean Peninsula.
The postponement, announced around 20 minutes before the planned signing ceremony in Tokyo at 4 p.m., reflects how difficult it is for the two countries to work together amid South Korea's lingering resentment over Japan's 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula.
South Korea's decision came on the heels of a request from the ruling Saenuri Party, in a sudden reversal of its earlier stance, to President Lee Myung Bak's government to delay the signing to allow the National Assembly to review the politically sensitive issue.
Lee Hahn Koo, the party's floor leader, told reporters the ruling party believes the pact "runs contrary to public sentiment and it is not acceptable to try to sign the pact hurriedly."

So what are they going to be delivering to the old folk? Instant ramen, tobacco, and cheese curls?
I think it's a noble idea but the food offerings of the typical combeni aren't exactly the type of eats which helped contribute to the longevity of the Japanese population.

It takes some getting used to. Whatever you do, DON'T eat it without soy sauce and mustard.
