Anyone interested in some Japanese news and links? I read through the news everyday, watch nhk, and visit a few links to other Japanese blogs. I thought I would start sharing a review of some of what I looked at over the past week.

• A big story for English teachers in Japan is that Geos declared bankruptcy. This isn’t exactly a huge surprise; many of us have been expecting the major eikaiwas to start dropping ever since Nova went belly up. Read about it – >
• Is the Ark of the Covenant buried in Japan? Some people think so! I’d rank this claim right up there with the one that says Jesus is buried in Japan. Read about it – >
• Again this week the Japanese press (well, NHK anyways) has been obsessed with the US military base issue. This week Prime Minister Hatoyama admitted to being loopy. Read about it – >
• Colbert is learning Japanese from a robot. Read about it here – >

There you go. Sorry so short. I’ll start saving what I read so I can post more stuff at the end of the week. Enjoy!
