Elections

One of the good things of being in a country so far away from your own is that you do little things that you would never imagine you would do. For instance, last Sunday, I got together with three other Japanese in a bar close to the Taipei 101 to see the F1 —well, as the ones who know me can say, I am not a big fan of it, but it was an excellent excuse to do something. The place is a Gordon Biersch bar, an American brewing company that brings me some good memories from years back.

So, what was the unexpected thing? Following live the results of the Japanese elections, through the web of one of the biggest Japanese newspapers, seeing all the funny little cartoonish animations, and all the political commentary of my companions. Very interesting.
