Tokyo Sandstorm





Unbelievably dirty air is blowing in from China. It's very dangerous to be outside. Japanese often wear masks. However, the small particles (PM 2.5) in the air require a more specialized mask.

These are my favorite Japanese magazines (in English).

Most foreigners (and some Japanese) know about Metropolis. It's a FREE magazine that comes out every Friday afternoon. It has lots of info about concerts/clubs/movies/travel/food/bars and many other things.

Japan, Inc is a great magazine (and many free e-mail newsletters) about the business scene in Japan. However, it's written in English. They tend to focus on new up-and-coming companies.

KEI is just a beautiful magazine about Japanese culture. This is a GREAT magazine. I often buy it and send copies to my Mom and daughter.
