AKITA, Japan: We’re in Akita, the northernmost tip of the Island of Honshu, where we took the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo Station hurling at 360 kph in what was then a technological wonder in Japan in the early sixties.

[Summary] => There’s no doubt that there’s a lot of people who are against Charter change, but I’m willing to bet it is only because they hate the Arroyo administration or they just don’t want to change this country for the better.

But like what we wrote last Friday, if it were not for the well-placed mines planted by the Japs in Tangke Beach that disabled 10 Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVTs) that brought the US soldiers ashore, that invasion would have been a walk in the park. But eight US soldiers died and 39 others were wounded because of the landmines. Nothing much happened after that, except for a brief skirmish in Pardo, a delaying tactic by the Japanese forces.
