Nothing really coherent this week but just 3 nuggets:

1) Saw an advert in the Japan Times, "Wanted: 15 Native Americans for proof reading work." What are they translating ? Totem-poles?

2) People like to dress up at weekends. Fine. It's called cosu purei (costume play) Fine. Some people like to dress up as policemen and then go around acting like policemen and pretending to arrest people. That's not fine.

3) I have heard and have read that some people enjoy keeping rabbits for pets and are also to be seen walking them in the park on special rabbit leads.
