1 Day Left!

Only 1 day left remaining.Don’t have anything more to say really ^_^

Philippine peso currency award

Ok, so lets get out of the excitement from Battlefield 3 for a bit and here is an article I found which is pretty interesting..well interesting for me that is.

Did you know that the new Philippine currency pesos has been judged as one of the best currency series series in the world by the International Association of Currency Affars (Iaca).

According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer:

The set of new peso notes, called the “New Generation Currency (NGC)” series, was one of two finalists for best new currencies in the world in a worldwide contest organized by the International Association of Currency Affairs

Though the new pesos was recalled because of two mistakes, that didn’t stop it for having an award:

The critics said the new peso notes had errors in design, and urged the BSP to recall the series.Some of the errors cited were the allegedly inaccurately designed Philippine map and the wrong color used for the beak of the blue-naped parrot featured in the 500 peso note.

It was said to be an artist rendition.  You can read more about this by click here.

In my opinion, those new bills were pretty awesome. They were really bright in color and really nice to look at. Though I only saw bills of the 50 pesos and a 20 pesos which were red and orange, they were still beautiful to look at.

Iphone 4S Siri Japanese English

I just stumbled upon something that was recommended to me on youtube. For those of you who got the Iphone 4S, you know what siri is right? Well apparently the program is not very good understanding people with hard accents like this Japanese guy who tries to email his work. Very funny 😀

10,000 Free Round-Trip Tickets to Japan

Hi viewers..You probably heard about this already but I’ll post it again anyways..
Due to the tsunami that happend to Fukushima and that nuclear plant melt down, waves of foreigners left the country (Japan) from the radioactive scare. Now the Japan Tourism Agency proposed a campaign to get back the amount of tourism it use to have. Here is an article of the report.

The Japanese government is planning to give away 10,000 free roundtrip tickets to foreigners by next year, in an attempt to boost its tourism industry that was badly affected by twin disasters in March.The program, which is subject to approval from the government’s budget department, is expected to start on April 2012, according to the Japan Tourism Agency.

The agency said it plans to put up a website where interested travelers can submit applications.

The would-be visitors will be required to explain in detail their travel plans and what their expectations are on their trip to Japan.

Read more here.

So, for those who always wanted to go to Japan no matter where your from, wait for the sign-up on April in 2012 and maybe yoyou’ll be lucky!!

To add. I think you have to pay for your accommodation and food but the round-trip ticker is all paid for.


Why Do Japanese People Stare At Foreigners?

Tired of being stared to death upon when you visit a foreign country?
I found this very short article about an Icelandic musician who resides in Tokyo named Arni Kristhanson.
He created this tool for foreigners who doesn’t like to be stared upon by Japanese locals. It’s a fake cover for a book entitled Why Do Japanese People Stare at Foreigners?.
It’s basically a cover you print out and wrap it around the book of you choice and TADAAA!

“The idea is simple, print out this cover and wrap it around a book in Japanese. Then, as soon as you get stared at on the train or in a public place (to the point where it becomes uncomfortable) take out the book and pretend to start reading it while giving the starer ample view of the cover. The starer is then made aware of the situation in the most Japanese of ways, through non-confrontation.”
