Talk about bad cooking and fire safety skills. A fire station in Japan was set on fire by an absent minded firefighter who left the cooking stove on when he responded to a call. It took ten fire trucks from another fire station to put out the fire. A Nagoya fire department official apologized and said they are considering eating take out instead. Seriously guys, stick to combini food from now on. (by Emily Co)

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
