Tokyo and tech through the eyes of a split pea

News in Japan

Apparently Japan has raised its terror alert to the highest level, which is interesting because nobody — and I mean nobody — where I work who is a native Japanese is aware of this. French colleagues who work next to me are aware of it through their French news sources, American colleagues are aware of it through their English news sources, but none of my Japanese colleagues had a clue what I was talking about when I mentioned the alert level. Thanks, Japanese media.
