My parents and sister will be in Japan from March 13 until March 24, and so I will not be spending as much time as I usually do keeping an eye on JAPUNDIT.
So, if you are a spammer or an embittered soul who really wishes to give the public a taste of your darker side, here is a chance to get more exposure, because it will take me longer than usual to delete your posts and comments.

Winter Wonderland

If you missed out on the 2009/10 Japan winter what a real pity as this was an excellent year for some of the heaviest snowfall on record.

The Japanese Way: “Death from overwork”
http://www.wideislandview.com –
Of all the things the Japanese are famous for – sushi, ninja, a level of cuteness that would make kittens nauseous – their work ethic is probably one of the most well-known.

Got a note recently that says one regular contributor (zichi) is experiencing problems when posting articles to JAPUNDIT.
