The Japanese read more blogs
According to Japanese PR firm, Edelman, the Japanese are the top readers of blogs edging out the Americans, Koreans, Britons, and French. In an average week, almost three quarters (74%) of the Japanese Internet users who participated in the survey said they read blogs at least once a week. This is significantly more compared to the other countries studied, with just under a half (43%) in South Korea, just under a quarter in the UK...
Not for the claustrophobic
How come the really exciting things in Japan happen when I’m not there? Good news for the really kinky (or the really adventurous)! I sort of stumbled upon this site for a Capsule Inn in Akihabara, the Electronic Town of Tokyo.
