Well I finshed up the last finishing touch to my word press blog and added an affliate link to my website provider just to see if I could get lucky one day. As if I will I have far too few visitors to be able to get anything from affliates. Nice decoration.

Since the lastest version of Wordpress came out and all the great plugins you can do practically anything with it. There are two ways to getting yourself a WordPress blog one the easy way is just goto WordPress.com and sign up for an account but there is not much difference between that and nutang for that matter and the fun of having ones own domain is ofcourse better.

Until next time maybe I will post something more technical like starting a wordpress blog on your own domain. That is if a better topic doesn't come up.

I just realized today the difference between university/high school students in Japan/Canada and Chinese university/high school students. Japanese/Canadian university/high school students leave there trash around campus/school with the thinking someone else will take care of it later so I do not have to do it or maybe they do not even think about who collects it they just leave it. I was shocked to see one student dump his cup ramen in the sink and did not bother to clean it up, it was disgusting, impossible to use the sink. In China, I have seen students make a mess perhaps a bigger mess than Japanese/Canadian students but the difference here is I was impressed as to how fast they cleaned it up and without assigning roles – they just did it. No one said who did what; it was as though the party continued seamlessly right into the clean-up. That is what I call cooperation. I really think it comes down to who thinks who is responsible / accountable. Chinese students felt everyone is responsible and everyone should participate in cleaning up the mess. Japanese/Canadian students believe it is not mine therefore, I do not have to touch it or it is not my job. Someone else is there to clean up.

Since the industrial revolution in this modern age hand-made crafts are a disappearing tradition. Everyone is seeking cheap products that do not last. Tourists are not interested in quality but a bargain. Handmade pottery lives on at the Iroha Studio!

Have you ever noticed that after eating a meal at a fast food restaurant, you feel hungry a few hours later? Why is that? Are you just plain hungry or is there something in the food that is causing this hunger? If you haven't had the chance to watch the movie, "Super Size Me", click here and watch it now for free!

"Super Size Me" is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It's an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a 'McDonald's only' diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.
