It's Japan, what else can you say?

While visiting Marisa in Kagoshima, Japan

Happened while shopping at The Village at Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

Burj Dubai

Check it out, if you look closely, you can see a tower crane on the top of the 2700ft tall building. it was finally clear enough to see the insane building from the Dubai's airport Terminal 1. All the other times of transiting through Dubai, the sky was too hazy and dusty.

Talk to the Taliban?

It's absurd people (like the UN and the British Ambassador to Afghanistan) are thinking of speaking to the Taliban for a compromise. I'm glad someone is saying something against it. It sounds like a lame, throw in the towel BS.
