Summer is now around the edge and fall is coming soon! Take a look at this wonderful ocean in Okinawa! Why don't we try scuba diving here for our upcoming tour next year?http://www.odnsym.com/spot/maeda.html

ダイビングの人気スポットでもある真栄田岬は東シナ海を一望でき、眼下に広がる海は透明度が高く週末になるとダイバーや海水浴客で賑わっています。夏はウェットスーツがなくても水着と水中眼鏡、シュノーケルがあれば魚と一緒に泳ぐことができます。

Fukushima's Nuclear Power plant shows signs of stabilization! Unfortunately the title of this article focuses on the negative... -_-

Even as workers began to see some success in their battle to cool down reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Japanese officials said Sunday that they would have to release some radioactive gas into the air.

Due to the current state of Tokyo the Anime Insider Tour will be postponed to April. How we came to this, the effects on future tours, and ways to give back to Japan are in our latest post: http://bit.ly/eoIMTs

Update! We've written a post about the quake and the upcoming tours statuses below. Yes, it's true. Our guide Evan has magical powers, so we're not too worried about him. ^_~
