Makiko Tanaka [/Japan]

Controversial former foreign minister of Japan, Makiko Tanaka is running in the Lower House election later in November. She's seen as the most popular politician in Japan.

"Most party elections are like a garage sale full of senior politicians who've been in office too long."

"Explanations by Foreign Ministry officials always sound as though they have something stuck in their mouths and debate often misses the mark of what the general public is interested in."

Mmm, controversy. Go kick some ass, Tanaka.

Tokyo pics [/Japan]

Tokyo pics are finally up, although there's only 6 of them. I got lazy and didn't want to lug my camera around.

Me and Kenji in Asakusa

As usual, the photo taken by nice passers-by is completely out of focus. Stupid me for buying a non-point-and-shoot camera. I should really just set the focus before handing over the camera or something. Interesting photo, nonetheless. :)
