Japan took the number 1 spot back for the fastest Supercomputer

a title they lost 7 years ago

They can calculate a bajillion number of times per second (8.2 quadrillion times to be exact)

Supercomputer K by Fujitsu and RIKEN

This is a very "Special K", hahaha!

A new Michelin Guide has come out which is

more "diner-friendly"

cause it has a list of restaurants that serve lunches for about US$12

A few cars of the Yamanote line has new seats installed

The idea is to stop passengers taking up more than one seat

There is daily report of power consumption on TV since the beginning of summer

150 yrs ago, it took 2.5 months to travel from Tokyo to Paris, 25 yrs ago, 11 hours

but this futuristic jet

can shorten the trip to just 2.5 hours!

What?! They hope to launch it in 2050?!! If I'm not already dead, I'll be too old to fly. So disappointed...

A town in Japan uses goats to

clear weeds along highway

baa~

A train operator was caught dozing off at the driver's seat for a few seconds and the whole top management bowed while apologizing to the public. I bet this is something you only seen in Japan

Whenever a news anchor makes a pronunciation or name error etc, they always bow and apologize

Some roads in Tokyo such as this Yotsuya Shopping Street in Itabashi is paved with cooling blocks

made from wine bottles

which have been crushed

to powdery glass chips

They are made into glittery and non-glittery blocks
