Second livable city next to Tokyo

I want to believe Fukuoka is the 16th most livable city only next to 3rd Tokyo in Japan.

Again I just wonder how domestic order and international evaluations differ significantly. The order of Fukuoka in Japan was or probably is 50th something, yet second in international standard.

Fukuoka is located very far from central part of Japan as Kansai or Kanto so probably little Japanese nationals in Japan know how nice to live in Fukuoka but foreigners who reside in Fukuoka was able to feel it more directly.

Fukuoka is located very far from central part of Japan also means located nearer to Korea or China. But people in Japan are still almost always heading for Tokyo since they believe Tokyo is the centre of almost everything. It is true though..

3rd Tokyo - 16th Fukuoka - 22nd Kyoto

Zurich, Switzerland
Since 2007 the lifestyle magazine Monocle publishes an annual list of liveable cities.[3] The list in 2009 was named "The Most Liveable Cities Index" and presented 25 top locations for quality of life. The winning city in 2007 was Munich, Germany and the 2008 winner was Copenhagen, Denmark.
Important criteria in this non-scientific survey are safety/crime, international connectivity, climate/sunshine, quality of architecture, public transportation, tolerance, Environmental issues and access to nature, urban design, business conditions, pro active policy developments and medical care.
In the 2009 list the subsequent ranks included Honolulu (11.), Madrid (12.), Sydney (13.), Vancouver (14.), Barcelona (15.), Fukuoka (16.), Oslo (17.), Singapore (18.), Montreal (19.), Auckland (20.), Amsterdam (21.), Kyoto (22.), Hamburg (23.), Geneva (24.), Lisbon (25.).

Department stores in Fukuoka

It has Iwataya(Fukuoka), Daimaru(Osaka), Mitsukoshi(Tokyo)
It will have Hankyu(Osaka), Parco(Tokyo)
It used to have Tamaya(Kokura), Izutsuya(Kokura) now closed.

From local to national tendency is conspicuous.

Global Power City Index

The Institute for Urban Strategies at The Mori Memorial Foundation in Tokyo, Japan issued a comprehensive study of global cities in October 2009. The ranking is based on six overall categories, "Economy," "Research & Development," "Cultural Interaction," "Livability," "Ecology & Natural Environment," and "Accessibility," with 69 individual indicators among them.[31] This Japanese ranking also breaks down top ten world cities ranked in subjective categories such as "manager, researcher, artist, visitor and resident."

When they stick, it became strong.

Fukuoka

Culture
Fukuoka was selected as one of Newsweek's 10 "Most Dynamic Cities" in its July 2006 issue.[9] It was chosen for its central Asian location, increasing tourism and trade, and a large increase in volume at its sea and airport. Fukuoka has a diverse culture and a wide range of cultural attractions.

In its July/August 2008 issue, Monocle selected Fukuoka as number 17 of the "Top 25 liveable cities".[10] It was chosen for excellent shopping, outstanding food, good transport links, good museums, "a feeling of openness in its sea air", green spaces and because it's friendly, safe, clean and close to East Asia.


Excerpt from Wikipaedia


I went to downtown of Fukuoka with my partner. Downtown Fukuoka was filled with tens of people on the streets and as vivid as Tokyo or Osaka.

I was amazed. Thirty years ago Fukuoka had 800 thousand population and relatively calm city but now it has 1.5 million people and people seem very busy.

The position of Fukuoka in Japan is never high. It is far from Tokyo, culturally speaking it belongs to marginal area. Yet it is the nearest city to Korea and nearer city to China. International evaluation of Fukuoka is never bad.

Life & ten years

Life imprisonment and indefinite period of detention are different.
In Japan they have only indefinite period of detention severest next to death penalty. Ten years are the criterion of indefinite period.

If someone was convicted in indefinite period of detention, it doesn't mean they are detained for life.

The Alps

The Alps in Europe, Mt Elbrus in Caucasus, Elburz Mountains in Iran are all related means all the same -Alpeis or high mountain in Greek.

This is similar to Alexandria, Uskudar, Iskenderun...all related to Alexander the Great, but the name of mountains would date back to prehistoric ages in the movement of Indo-European people.

This is my own folk etymology.. the relation between Alps and Elbrus are unique but ambiguous. please don't take it very seriously.

Maiden's Tower


This lighthouse type of strategic tower was built by Athenians on the sea in Bosporus strait in 408 BC to see the movements of Persian ships.

Greeks are great since they had already well noticed how important to keep the strategically crucial point. Greeks didn't lose the war.

Lawrence of Arabia

He was a very interesting guy. He was above all of things a scholar of archaeology. He was an Oxford graduate.

He had to fight against Ottoman Turkey because Britain was fighting against Germany. Germany had taken side of Turkey at World War I.

Egypt was a dawn of one of the earliest civilisations. But it was in Konya, Turkish city, that was one of the earliest human settlements before Egypt and Euphrates.

Ukraine, Turkey and Jericho were one of the earliest human settlements before the advent of four civilisations.

Lawrence might have quit fighting if he knew whereabouts of archaeological value in Konya.

Gordian Knots

Gordian knots; Completely new measures ought to be taken when no conventional ways seemed to be of effect.

Cross the Rubicon; Human systems are made up of under some restrictions. New perspective appears when we took off such human made restrictions.

Dice is cast; We have already reached the way of no return. Alea iacta est

Gordian knots were cut by Alexandre the Great and Rubicon was crossed by Caesar.
Great men break the precedents.

Sick in futon

Hello Br C**,

I had fever at 39.3 Celsius on the day you wrote this letter to me and I was staying in futon for three days.

Now I am stable again at 36 Celsius.

I thought we would have a cold when we are to though how carefully we live along.

I hope I can see you again before your departure, but it's much more likely to see you in March since it gets warmer.

I need to think about my current lifestyle thoughtfully unless so I am liable to be sick in bed once more.

I had a conventional cold, not an influenza. Fortunately.

I'm looking forward to discussing various topics in Bible with you in coming spring!

Let me see I have one interesting topic. According to George Modelski's survey in 2003 Jericho is the first largest city with population of 1-2000, 8 to 7 millennium BCE. I think it's very interesting with regards to Canaan, Promised Land. But I cannot connect this excavation fact, Jericho, and Canaan, etc. logically yet.

Do you have any idea?

Best regards,
Mer

Central plain

Great plain of China was a very interesting historical stages. Yet I didn't know much about it.

We had been aimed to study about America and Europe. China is a geographically near but it was far in systems etc indeed.

China's extremely rapid economic development has been made us realise how interesting the history of the country next to us is.

Central plain was not only meant its location is located in centre in China but also it means a centre of the world.

China has been restoring its proper position in entire world history.

Asthma

One of the colleague in the first workplace had been suffered from asthma. The second workplace my colleague was asthma patient.

The third one my colleague was asthma patient.

A younger daughter of my love was an asthma patient.

I met four people who are suffered from asthma in just a year and three months.

It was a very strong coincidence.

Man & woman

Marriage is an ultimate economic relation, not in the least an ultimate sexual relation.

Man & woman..ah.. ecomony.

Matured, Blended.

In Japan we found many distilleries that just distilled from fermented ones, then bottled.

In England they fermented, distilled, matured, blended,then bottled.

The difference in developing stages of liquor indicates how infant or developed the culture of a country is.

Maturation, blend need technique anyway.

Anyone can do it when it comes to bottling.

The right month

We call January a right month.
We usually take three consecutive holidays. This must be right.

Full Moon

It was a full moon on the first of January.

Some people claim a full moon arouses our sexual desire, especially in women.

I used to be called up by a woman in love usually at full moon and she attributed her calling me to the state of moon.

Time has passed.. pleasure is irreplaceable, but fragile and easily broken. Those who feel so invented marriage as a social system, which is undoubtedly firmest relationship between two parties.

I am a married man. Thus.

Over-ripened Capitalism

Over-ripened.. Used cloths were sold in a convenience store.

Used and not washed cloths were sold in a convenience store.

Used by a young woman and not washed were sold in a convenience store in a form of attachment with a magazine.

Those items are not sold since this act is subject to a violation of second hand item commerce law.

Cloths used by a young woman and not washed...this is a euphemism..you know what I meant?

I agree Tokyo is now one of the biggest centres of flourishing contemporary capitalism. But over-ripened already.

Three classics in Chinese literature

Luo Guanzhong was born in 1318, Taiyuan and died in 1400. He wrote two classics, that are Three Kingdoms & Water Margin.

Three Kingdoms is written based on real historical event that took place from 169 to 280.

Water Margin was written based on a real event. Song Jiang was a head of bandits
that existed in Huai river area, Jiangsu, Anhui or Henan province and surrendered to government in 1121. But the stage in this novel is different. It is Mount Liang, Shandong province. Also many bandits existed in Mount Liang till mid 17th century.

Wu Chengen was born in Lianshui, Jiangsui in 1505 and died in 1580. He wrote Journey to the West.

Journey to the West was written based on a real event. Xuangzang departed China for Gandhara in 629 and returned in 646. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing are familiar characters.

Most cruel species on earth

There are many subspecies around animals other than humans. The reason we found no subspecies of humans must be I guess humans eliminated all subspecies of humans in fear of them trying to eliminate humans.

That might have ensured a human prosperity today.

1965 -present Tokyo -32,000,000

BC & AD

BC & AD are sometimes confusing.

Roughly speaking our civilisation started around 5000 BC so let's count the year from 5000 BC.

We need to add 5000 in counting AD and need to subtract the year from 5000 in the case of counting BC.

Human protection & the law of nature

Many animals are born inside a zoological garden and some people especially zoologist or workers in the zoo insist they cannot live outside the garden because they don't know how to survive in nature.

They made two mistakes, one is they hold animals in the garden and the other is they misrepresent the voice of animals in their own language.
