With all the stuff there is to read about Japan and its various cultures I often find interesting things with nuggets of information, or just plain funny stories. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good way to bookmark these effectively. Social Bookmarking sites don’t really work, talk to me in person if you want to know why. So the next best thing is a blog post with links in them.
So this starts “Links Around Town” where I will post up links about Japan and the various cultural things that are going on that I find interesting or funny. These are not the latest and greatest as I will only post this when I get 20 or so links.
