What silly country has “Mega-typhoon heads north; 6 people hurt” as their paper’s headline. In Australia the Prime-Minister dies without anyone paying enough attention to be able to find him, and Japan reports injuries on the front page. No wonder half of their news shows are about the rest of the world. Nothing dangerous happens in this country–especially the Typhoons.

I keep beckoning God/Buddha/Whatever to show us his wrath here in Kanazawa, but all we get are mildly strong winds. I want excitement! I want the fear of god running through my bones!

I’m obviously too sheltered.

Update: Asahi is now reporting 15 people have died, including a 24-year old woman.
