My grand Dad In Japan

When a nuclear bomb is dropped, the radiation will stay present for hundreds of years. Why is Hiroshima and Nagasaki habitable?

It didn’t.

The radiation itself dissipates; however, individual particles remain from the fallout. If ingested by inhaling, eating, or drinking you can still suffer from cancers and a host of other ailments.

The shameful treatment of the Atomic Veterans by the US government is one of the outrages of the 20th Century.

Yeah, I really can’t find a place to find this out so maybe some one can help me. I already have to spend $1,760 for a plane ticket to korea and from threre I want to go to Tokyo for a couple of days, but I have to go back to korea from tokyo. So how much will a round trip ticket from seoul to tokyo be?

First of all, my deepest apologies for the inexcusable delay. Ive been working 12 hour days, and barely had a day off in months. I meant to get this video out back in early September, but life just got in the way. If I ever decide to stop posting I’ll let you know… if I don’t post it’s simply a time management issue. I totally need an intern! I also need a sound guy. Sorry for the pitful audio on this one.

In this vlog I visit the Asakusa Samba Carnival held every year at the end of August. It is a rather peculiar event, but I guess it is not unlike Irish American immigrant celebrations of St. Patrick’s day. If I had to compare it to something.

You will notice I am particularly hairy in that segment. I was letting myself go for the make over episode of Tokyo Eye I did back in September. The second half I am decidedly less heirsuit, so you might consider it the “after” version of me. But by now my hair is well on it’s way back to the old me. I’m curious which you think suits me better.

For info on the Samba Carnival

The Shop I visited is located in Asakusa and the owner MIki is a wonderful person and a great friend for now 8 years. (The baby is not mine BTW) If you are ever in the neighborhood stop by her place for a coffee or something stronger. Find out more here… Tell her Kevin sent you.

The second half is a much shorter summary of the Brazilian Festival in Yoyogi Park, for more on that check the video I did last year.

For those of you in need of more Cooney in your life, stay abreast of my doings and goings on at the narcissistic shrine to myself that is

Also… Check out my weekly blog at jibtv.com

Or stop by my weekly live streaming video show and ask your questions on BlogTV.

I broadcast from around noon on Friday, Tokyo Time. Thats Thursday evening on the east coast of the US. If you can’t figure out what time it is in your neighborhood, either look at the countdown clock for when the show airs on my BlogTV page. Or… google “world clock”. Trust me, you can figure it out. I believe in you.

My next guest is a guy who runs his own production company producing english language learning materials for Japanese students of English. If you’ve never been to the page I recommend checking out the archive. Over the last year I have interviewed a Radio DJ, Voice Actors, Comedians, Teachers, Bartenders, and all other types of Gaijin in Japan. There is lots of useful stuff in the archive. But if you have a question you’ve been meaning to ask stop by the show, and berate me in person for being a slack when it comes to posting.

Lastly, I appretiate your encouragement to post more often. Thanks for not forgetting about me. It really means a lot that many of you have stuck with me over the years, despite my sometimes flaky uploading schedule.

Thanks,

Cooney

Our footage from our days in Sapporo, Japan. After an 11 hour journey to get there we had 2 full days to check out the city. It’s a great place and well worth a visit if you go to Japan. Some great bars and restaurants, an amazing train station, some great sights and views to see. Visit the Sapporo Beer Museum! It’s all in Japanese but you get free beer!
