NBC news just had a story on the effects of the economic collapse on Nagoya, Japan. Since I used to live in a Nagoya Suburb, Kariya, this story really interested me. The reporter actual films some of the story from a job center in Kariya! I actually miss living in Japan a lot, and seeing the familiar streets of the city made me a bit “homesick”. But, the actual content of the story makes me glad I got out, and into a pretty stable job back in Canada, when the getting was good.

Thanks guys! I thought you already knew! It will be a girl incidently. Perhaps Yuria would be a good name?
That IS sad about Nagoya, and well, Japan in general. It’s like I said to Alex, look at a news article a few years ago and it’s an almost exact mirror
Increasing unemployment, and rock bottom approval ratings, Priminister _____’s resignation is expected.

Actually she has two names, a Chinese name and an “English name”. Chinese name is Hoi-Lam, but for the life of me I haven’t thought of an “English” one.
