Beware dangerous dog! もうけんちゅうい





You get the idea.


These ankle-biters are usually the most fearless.


Actually, the padlock and the planks looked grimmer than the beast…


What’s behind them baa-rsz ggrrrrr…


The new age dog.


“Dog on diet – fierce”, according to notice.



A child to welcome into your arms. (Not?!)






This thing should be on a diet so as to be fierce.



ちゅうい dangerous (take extra care!)










もうけんにちゅうい dangerous ‘uncivilised’ dog 
(take extra care! = beware of the dog!)








Toyama Prefecture is standardising fierceness.





Already then in Rome they knew…




The rope is scarier.






2 dogs, or 1 dog twice as fierce?














Just in case you missed it, I’ve brought my ferocity warning along…






woof











And the best till last!

The perfect pooch:


Aaahwww…


Aaahwww…


A dangerous mutt?    You?!   Never!

305 ‘Green’ グリーン

The going green movement  in Japan is becoming stronger every day. In the past Japan has had huge polution problems and although not all issues are resolved, the younger generation is becoming more aware of it and beginning to demand action against wastage.
One of the earliest complaints was against the Japanese custom of wrapping up presents with layers of paper, which were all quite unceremoniously thrown out afterwards. The issue of chopsticks has come up many times too, although there the issue is more about hygiene. Nevertheless, Japan is going green.
On a rather painful note: the whole Fukushima disaster will bring Japan and the rest of the world to a rethink on nuclear power. Questions are being asked about the huge electricity bills that Japan generates. Tokyo and any other large Japanese city is lit up and seen from the moon! Many Japanese people leave the neon lights on all night long – even all day long. That habit may become a thing of the past. Don’t forget though that 125 million people cannot change overnight. It takes precious time.
These days more and more people shop in recycle shops, which were not so long ago an absolute no-no. Students changed that and foreigners changed that. The rubbish collection in Japan is a sight to behold. More and more stuff is recycled. However, be reasonable: most people don’t have a lot of space to store, so if you want a change, or something breaks, you have no option but to chuck!

Modern Samsung (South Korean company) mobile phones are fantastic. Dual processors, larger screens, clear displays. Sound-to-ear (very useful on the ちかてつ chikatetsu subway) means that one may hear someone talking “into the air” on the subway, but that person is likely to be on the phone. People are asked all the time to do their phone business elsewhere, not on the subway.
