West Shinjuku can be a very good place to visit and you will surly have a very nice time when you see those many skycrapers.


Why is Shinjuku a good place to live? Have you ever wondered why it would be nice to go there and make a life in Japan? This is going to be a nice article so that you can understand why there are many advantages of living there.

 Security is really good: it is not like it is perfect but it is one of the safest countries in the world. You will rarely hear about people who are being robbed in Japan and when it happens, there are many chances that t has to do with yakusa gang member. However, there are very few cases of people who are robbed in Japan but that is an exception. 
Japan is widely known as one of the safest countries in the world in terms of security and you are more likely to be prepared for a tsunami than for robber.
Japan has a broad business sphere: this can be very good for you if you are into working for a company or with one. Japan is one of the most popular countries when it comes to have many famous companies such as Mitsubishi, Toyota, Sega, Nintendo and so on.

Erwin Miyasaka: Did Chinese women go to opium dens?

Image
Since someone asked me if Qing women went to opium dens, I thought I would answer and put up some of my evidence. Short answer – I don’t think so, at least as customers. Certainly in the Republic, when they started registering opium “addicts” only a very small number of women registered (although their seem to have been women registered everywhere) In Qing pictures, like the ones below, opium smoking places seem to be male spaces, although we do get a picture of a wife showing up at one looking for her husband. There seem to be female attendants/possible prostitutes smoking with men in the classier place. I also include the picture of Mr. Conspicuous Consumption, which students always like. These are all from Dianshizhai huabao. Sorry they are reversed. I think I took these from the transparencies I used to use before Powerpoint   Ver fuente

Erwin Miyasaka: Who are the shi?

Since I am teaching Early China this semester, I am drawing from Yuri Pines, Envisioning Eternal Empire: Chinese Political Thought of the Warring States Period (University of Hawaii Press, 2009) Pines points out a really good story to use in teaching about who the shi， 士 were.

The heart of the ancient benevolent persons . . . was neither to be delighted in things nor to feel sorry for themselves. At the loftiness of [imperial] temples and halls, they worried for their people, in the remoteness of rivers and lakes they worried for their ruler. Hence entering [the court], they worried; and leaving it, also worried: so when did they enjoy? It must be said: they were

Erwin Miyasaka: 24 Hour Hot Menu Vending machine

Image
After the Cup Noodle vending machine , I found another very useful Japanese vending machine, also serving hot food, called “24 Hour Hot Menu". It serves yaki onigiri (grilled onigiri ), yakisoba , takoyaki , and a couple of Western dishes, fried potato and hot dog. For a traveler, a warm dish is always welcomed, especially when you return late night and few restaurants are still open… Click on photo for higher resolution: Vending machine If you want to license my photos for commercial use, please contact me EXIF Info: Nikon Df Lens: 24-70mm F/2.8G Focal Length: 32mm Aperture: F/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/230s ISO Sensitivity: ISO 1600 Yesterday’s Japan Photo: Fukuoka Fuku-Haku Deai bridge and and old samurai drinking story Ver fuente
