		<description><![CDATA[These are the two flavors of potato chips I didn't see four months ago when I left for Japan: Barbecue Pork Bun and Spicy African. The former was invented by 7/11, which prides itself on the sales of its "delicious" dim sum. And the latter was invented by Lay's presenter—Paula Taylor—to complement the World Cup craze.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I guess the U.S. is kinda selfish," says one of my friends. His view of the U.S. changed when the U.S. went into Iraq. "There's no reason a country can start a war, I guess. I still like the U.S. but I hate the policies." And I'm sure many people outside the U.S. can agree on this view. Many times, if you ask a Japanese what comes to his/her mind when talking about the American people, s/he might answer something like: "Every American has guns."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asking for directions is, perhaps, the most important thing to do when you arrive at a new country in which your language is not spoken. I have been asking for directions since the first day I got to Japan. Yet, I think labeling this post as merely about direction-asking is quite inappropriate as I&#8217;ve found [...]]]></description>

Not only did I get to walk around (all day), but I also had that once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the Aoi Matsuri. According to [...]]]></description>
