Ape Chase In Train Station
Ape Chase In Train Station
Morning Monkey Madness
A Japanese macaque monkey took an unattended run through the morning rush hour crowds in Tokyo's Shibuya station August 20, and escaped into the city!
Dozens of cops had the monkey cornered, but the macaque, being a monkey, could go places cops couldn't.
So the monkey took a second dash through the bystanders, got outdoors, and disappeared. It was last seen crossing railroad tracks afetr scaling a building
Lots of local news videos – including the station chase – and photos on this Japan-based blog (in English) here.

Post Office Mistake Present
A couple days later I went back and she was waiting. She had my file. She explained the problem for the third time, loud enough so the seven people waiting could also know, and then apologized for her error for the umpteenth time, sentences full of gomennasais and sumimasens.
I initialed their approval document and was presented with a nice gift set.
What happens when a console releases an exclusive Japanese RPG title- Well, for the Xbox, it means the console totally sells out!

Apparently a monkey found his way to Shibuya today. The keisatsu were every where trying to get him, but I think saru-chan escaped! He was probably trying to check out the 109 building that was previously posted here on JapanSoc.

The best part of waking up is a hot water jet in your butt. Ken of What Japan Thinks gets to the 'bottom' of how Japan feels about its butt washing technology.

Well, maybe it's not technically their actual pictures, but this was a roundabout way of telling people about some of my favorite Japanese celebrities. The pictures will definitely make you laugh, though.

After an exhaustive linguistic study, Pidgin Gaijinese will finally gain recognition as an official minority language. A round-table discussion on the study is scheduled for Thursday, August 28th and will be hosted by the Roppongi branch of Gaspanic.

Interesting/spooky photos of what some major train stations in Tokyo look like empty, plus a humourous rendition of what it would be like to have them all to yourself.

"A hospital in Japan said Tuesday that doctors mistakenly removed a healthy woman's left breast because of a mix-up in samples from tests for breast cancer." This hospital needs to be sued.
