Chiyoda City – Tokyo Japan
A new garbage bag for flammable is on a limited sale at the Chiyoda city, Sakura Festival.
This is a word play for 燃ãˆã‚‹, which means flammable and èŒãˆã‚‹, which… has a complicated meaning. You may want to read into the wikipedia, but to put it short, it has the element of cuteness or affection. So, with the word play, K-307 has created a garbage bag that has a print of the cute girl (Kudan Sakura) on it. On top of that, there is a story behind her, and the other characters.
The bag is on sale at the location below for 350 yen per bag of ten 45 Liter flammable bags.
Chiyoda City Sakura Festival – Yasukuni Shrine Chiyoda City Sight Seeing Booth (March 27 – April 5)
Tom Berge used the popular internet tool, which shows aerial photographs of towns across the world, to pinpoint museums, churches and schools across south London with lead roof tiles.
After the 27-year-old builder found a potential target on his home computer he would scale its roof, take the valuable roof materials and abseil down the side of the building, before selling the lead to scrap metal dealers.

try googling Do anime characters look caucasian and you’d be surprised how many hits you get. Some people consider it a serious enough issue that they write formal academic papers on it
how about you? Do you think that they look japanese or caucasian?
it’s a bit fast. Just pause it from time to time so you can read the subtitles
========================
I’m not arguing that the characters are definitely japanese and definitely not white as most characters are ambigious enough to be interpreted as any race
It may seem like i’m overanalyzing anime but this is actually a response to those who are overanalyzing anime.
Basically some people think that the japanese have a warped self image and they base this conclusion on the fact that anime characters look caucasian to them.
In this video, i argue that the characters may not necessarily look white to everybody and so any conclusion based on the fact that they look caucasian is poorly grounded.
also, I said that asians are good at cosplay but i never said that white people are bad at cosplay.

I think i made an irresponsible generalization as well when i said that whites living in japan experience racism. It would probably be more appropriate to say that they get no special treatment. I edited the video already
