We kick off this week’s show catching up with our old friend Amanda Taylor from Whoa…I’m in Japan? and talk a bit about her impressions of the country collected over the past six months.  We move on to some great articles talking about the floundering sales of the Nintendo 3DS, a survey of the countries that like the US the most, a very… detailed dental training robot, yet another underwear thief and a discussion about whether or not owning a car in Japan is beneficial or a liability.  Thanks again to our returning guest Amanda Taylor.  Don’t forget: we’ll be doing this live on USTREAM every Monday night at 8:30pm.  See you then!
