Shocking events around the world :P
May 31, 2005 – 1:54 pm
The weekly Far Eastern Economic Review, which has been around as long as foreigners, has ceased publication.
-> I loved this magazine. Together with the Economist it’s about the only news-type print publication I would spend money on on a regular basis.
Tsukiji let it be known it will no longer allow tourists to watch the daily tuna auction—they take too many pictures and even sometimes fondle the fish. (A prime tuna can go for ¥5,000,000 or more, so it’s not a plaything.)
-> Good thing I went 2 weeks ago. It was a real zoo.
