Here is a video I shot at the Joyful Honda mall in Tochigi on October 25, almost one week before Halloween, showing a massive display of Christmas decorations already on sale.
Sorry to everyone who tried visiting here last night, only to get some sort of error message.
It seems that our code had a slight problem resulting in a loop that caused our server to go bonkers. Trouble started when our server provider (one I’d never used before) pulled the plug on the site and then did the slow-walk shuffle to get things back up and running again.
Needless to say, they are no longer our server provider, and I have put Japan Talk into the capable hands of Blogs-About Hosting, who are the same folks that have been doing such a great job hosting JAPUNDIT right from the very beginning.
Everyone seems to be jumping onto the Facebook bandwagon these days, including plenty of people in Japan, but common sense and basic prudence dictate that the savvy web user had better think carefully before taking a leap that may prove to be disastrous.
