A meandering walk on the Japan-related web
On December 05, 2007 in On the J-web, Rights of foreigners
I was taking a look at what past interviewees are up to today, strolling around their sites and walking of the path to look at shiny things elsewhere on the J-web (I am easily distracted).
Here is some of what I found:
Yahoo, Ebay Unite! - RisingSunOfNihon breaks news of the deal between Yahoo! Japan Auctions and Ebay. Pretty interesting.
Turner from KeepingPaceInJapan is asking foreigners who have been through fingerprinting at immigration for interviews. So if you have and you want to be interviewed let him know!
Gyaku.jp interviewed a professor, David McNeill, from my old university, Jouchi (Sophia) U. I did not know it before but Professor McNeill writes for JapanFocus.org. One highlight of the interview was the question about fingerprinting (towards the bottom).
Also on Gyaku I found a link to this Debito article about child-custody issues in Japan. I have a divorced friend who lost all contact with his children, so I knew a bit about the issue already (it is very sad). Here is a documentary they produced to draw attention to the issue:
