This is exactly how Google Streetview works! This is actually made by Google to explain the privacy concerns Japanese residents have. It’s pretty cute I must say.

Honda Racing Shoes by FILA

This actually looks pretty good. I have not held the shoes in my hands but because of how thin the bottom sole is, it must be very light shoes. And I love light weight shoes. I don’t know if these are available in local stores but the racing shoes are currently available at fila.com

Asimo rules! The following video titled ‘Japan: Robot Nation‘ was a fascinating documentary. Even though I knew most of the situation the journalist, Adam Yamaguchi, talked about in the video, it was still great to watch it. The video covers the cause of declining birth rate in Japan and how the robots can possibly be used to help the Japanese in the future. Watch the video and share your thoughts!

The police are getting more high tech these days, especially in China.

This handset will be tough as nails to cater to a police’s everyday line of work, featuring a 2.8″ display at 320 x 240 resolution, a 2-megapixel to capture incriminating evidence of a crime in progress, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to help one while the time away on a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot when on duty, GPS navigation to know where one is headed to if he/she is a rookie in that particular area of the ‘hood and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900MHz) GSM telephony to help keep the police in question connected with the rest of the force.

The Scariest Treehouse

At first I thought this was a photoshopped picture. Then I found numerous other sites describing what exactly this house was.

…….this time Takasugi-an, a tea house in Chino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

The tea house is built atop two chestnut trees, cut from a nearby mountain and transported to the site, and is accessible only by free-standing ladders propped against one of the trees.

Check out Dezeen for complete explanation and more pictures.
