		<description><![CDATA[Mushi! Bugs! They&#8217;re all over the place! And the Japanese variety are just as abundant and cool. I&#8217;ve always been a fan of bugs, but sometimes people in Japan have a different kind of fandom going on&#8230; (First things first! This is an entry for the August Japan Blog Matsuri, specifically Through Eyes From Afar&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m probably slow in finding this, but this amusing Japanese website meshes Katamari Damacy style with Nintendo Wii&#8217;s Mii Parade aesthetic to make a Twitter toy that amuses me perhaps too much! I&#8217;ve already done this like 8 times. By the way, I&#8217;m on Twitter a lot. If you are, too, you could follow my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, this is a Tofugu contest blog entry! Normally I wouldn&#8217;t think to do something like this, but it&#8217;s interesting! (Note: I&#8217;m posting this now, but I may add images in later. No time right now!) See, I have appreciation for both the impractical and the practical, so long as things are unique and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I didn&#8217;t like it very much at first, the kappa has quickly become one of my favorite mythical creatures. What is it that I like about them? Is it the fact that there are many different interpretations of them historically, or that they can be downright adorable in modern depictions? Or maybe it&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>

Hopefully the following doesn&#8217;t sound like some kind of mish-mash dribble that makes no sense, nor sounds like something just anybody could say. Slow Around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you addicted to Toxel? I am. It posted about treehouses, and there are a couple of interesting ones in Okinawa. The Beach Rock Treehouse was designed by Takashi Kobayashi. What&#8217;s best is this is the thing in which we&#8217;ll likely make first contact! Kobayashi, a leading treehouse-maker, also made this: One speculates that because [...]]]></description>

I was a big ol&#8217; dinosaur fanatic when I was younger (to the point where I wanted to go into paleontology&#8212;yeah, that big), but unfortunately I&#8217;ve never so much as seen dinosaur bones. Visiting this would at least somewhat [...]]]></description>

Now that we&#8217;ve realized the dream, we can relish in what is a statue of Pure Awesome smack in the middle of Odaiba, Tokyo&#8217;s Shiokaze Park. It was built to scale in honor of Mobile Suit Gundam&#8216;s 30th anniversary. In a matter of time they&#8217;ll have made [...]]]></description>

Japan, which is kinda like Japan&#8217;s Google, if you get what I mean. It won&#8217;t be long now&#8212;this fall, in fact. First they&#8217;ll start off small, then [...]]]></description>
