I've also emailled an academic at SOAS asking for names of popular Japanese blogs (and also to forward the email on to people in Japan)....so he'll think I'm bonkers.

Where do (cute) Japanese students hang out?

Somebody trout me. I *thought* I read this whole thread, but I must have missed or skimmed past the billion2one URL. As it turns out, I ended up setting up the same sort of thing at http://haveyouseenhim.info/

I also cross-posted in a number of places, but got nothing terribly Earth-shattering back in response:

Only info back so far is in German:

I've written to the school I used to attend in Matsumoto City, Nagano Japan. There used to be a Satoshi. To me it looks like a Japanese countryside. Lots of rivers like that in Matsumoto, and mountains. Also, to me there something very Nihonish about the way it looks despite the tudor buildings.

Whilst we're in the "I've done" mood, I tried to get in touch with Gen Kanai from http://gen.kanai.net, which I came across googling. Looks like the sort of profile person we need to get this going in Japan, but he's not replied so far.

What I've not done is the Mandarin Chinese translation, which will have to now wait a couple of days. If anyone else has time to get in there, please feel free.

My guess is that this guy is famous, or rather easily contacted. I think when we find who this guy is he will give us a riddle, and then we solve it. As per "What is the answer" But is anyone else thinking that Von's hint

I'm not sure this has already been mentioned.

I noticed that the river line was interupted on the right side:



This means the house on the right is in fact over the water. Could this be indicating an (old) water wheel? Possibly from the middle ages?



Maybe an internal one like this:



If it really is a water wheel then maybe this is some historical protected site. Maybe there is a map for Germany/Austria/Switserland where all water wheel houses are on?

Just a thought.

Chinese Village with the water!!!


There was a show on British TV a week ago about a vilage on the stream, following the animals, and the people on the river.

Can anyone remember what it was called!

It may not be related, but its a guess...

I am also looking up on popular names on the census
