Akihabara avec Vanessa

Aujourd'hui, je rencontre Vanessa qui reste dans un autre hôtel à Tokyo pour visiter Akihabara. Ce quartier est aussi surnommé Electric Town. On y retrouve principalement des appareils électroniques de toutes sortes ainsi que des jeux vidéos et d'autres trucs reliés au anime et manga japonais. Il ne faut pas se le cacher, il y a aussi beaucoup de pornographie dans ce quartier. Nous n'avions pas de plan précis, alors nous n'avons que marché et magasiné un peu. Nous nous sommes aussi faites interviewer sur le coin d'une rue pour une émission de télévision sur le thème du J-Pop. Vanessa et moi connaissions seulement quelques trucs sur le sujet, mais je pense que nous avons bien répondu à la plupart des questions qui tournaient surtout autour des chorégraphies et du phénomène Boys Band au Japon. Pour terminer, ils nous ont demandé d'imiter l'une des chorégraphies d'un vidéo clip de J-Pop ce que nous connaissions et, heureusement pour nous, nous n'en connaissions aucune!

Nous avons ensuite fait plusieurs magasins et repéré le Gundam Café. Je voulais vraiment y aller, mais il semblait y avoir une file pour y entrer alors j'ai abandonné pour cette fois.
Nous avons aussi passé un long moment dans le magasin Don Quichotte qui vend toutes sortes de trucs allant de la nourriture, aux costumes, du maquillage à quelques appareils électroniques. En gros, on y trouve de tout et de n'importe quoi.
Nous nous sommes séparées vers 5:30, car j'avais rendez-vous avec d'autres amis et l'hôtel de Vanessa est très loin. Je suis alors partie de mon côté rencontrer Tomo et Takaya. J'ai rencontré Takaya à Montréal ainsi que sa petite amie. Lors de mon arrivée au Japon en août, j'avais rencontré Takaya et son ami à Shinjuku. Takaya et Tomo ont tous les deux étudié le français, alors nous pouvions parler français. Tomo ira étudier en France en septembre prochain, alors elle semblait très excitée par cette nouvelle aventure. Ils m'ont amenée dans un restaurant reconnu pour ses Udon. C'était délicieux! J'ai mangé des Udon Carbonara dans un énorme bol.

    C'est le fun que tu aies pu rencontrer Vanessa elle aussi est à Tokyo peut-être que vous pourrez faire un bout de chemin ensemble en janvier avant de retourner à la résidence. Ca avait l'air bon ce que tu as mangé et drôlement appétissant. Tu visites un quartier où il y a beaucoup d'activités. Tes pieds vont te faire mal encore à force de marcher comme ça fais attention aux souliers ou bottes que tu portes.
    A bientôt j'espère

  2. Japan is ruled by South Korea indirectly. Koreans who have the South Korean nationality or the North Korean nationality consist of 0.5% of the population in Japan.
    These people were those who smuggled themselves into Japan in the chaos after the Second World War and their offspring.
    Koreans residing in Japan are granted special privileges; they are often exempted from paying taxes and offered a berth exclusive to Koreans so that they can get jobs that are difficult to get for many Japanese.
    They made use of that privilege and got jobs at television, newspaper, and advertising companies, while expanding their ring, and finally they have taken control of the mass media.
    TV stations cover up all information necessary for Japanese citizens, detailed materials on the nuclear power plants, the issue of political donations to the former Prime Minister Kan, and the scandals of the ruling party or the Democratic Party of Japan.


    Why does the media conceal crimes committed by the democrats?Because, many of them are Japanese-impersonators who have been naturalized from North or South Korea.
    The new Nationality law and the amended Military law will soon be put in effect in South Korea. These laws target the expatriate South Koreans.
    Technically, the laws admit dual nationality, but, if viewed in a different way, this means that South Koreans residing in Japan for generations can remain South Korean nationals forever.
    To date, those expatriate South Koreans have been exempted from military service, but after the law enforcement, they must serve in the military because they can be granted only respite.
    And besides, conscientious draft resisters are not recognized. You may think what if they can dodge the duty by becoming Japanese citizens. However, dual nationality is not allowed in Japan, and they must discard the South Korean nationality to become Japanese citizens.

    On the other hand, the Korean government will not allow them to discard their nationality until they complete their military service.
    Moreover, to discard the South Korean nationality, they need the official family registry certificate issued by the South Korean government, which they actually don't have because they fabricated it when smuggling into Japan.
    If verified with the original record, it will be exposed as a fake, and of course the flawed certificate makes it impossible for them to discard their South Korean nationality.
    Also, [Behavioral Requirements] in Japan will never be eased; that is, those who have criminal records cannot be naturalized as Japanese.
    In 2012, a revision of the Public Officers Elections Law will become effective in South Korea. By this law, expatriate South Koreans are granted the right to vote in the national elections in South Korea.

    That is, those Koreans regarded as "refugees" due to the Korean War will explicitly become South Korean nationals, and, as a result, they will lose their special permanent resident status in Japan.
    They will no longer be treated as special in Japan and exempted from military service, and also they are charged a tax to hold the nationality. And, as described above, they have difficulties in becoming Japanese citizens.
    Those Koreans residing in Japan are filled with a sense of crisis and currently trying to take over Japan using the Democratic Party.
    To achieve that goal, the ruling party is now intent on revising laws for them.
    If the bills are passed, Japan may well become a repressive country like China, North Korea, or South Korea.

    Furthermore, some important records such as the Basic Resident Register and deposit records in bank files have been transferred to South Korea.
    I am worried those records may be used fraudulently or our savings may be stolen.
    The Democratic Party has been attempting to dismantle Japan. We need your help.
    Please help us stop the insane attempt by the mass media and government.
