Now I don't feel too bad as I'm not the only one who noticed this! I was beginning to think that this was some sort of conspiracy against me 8O

I was looking for a link to their English site from the Japanese main page last night, but couldn't find one. Not even the site map had a reference to an English page. Is that usual?

Edit::No, I guess it's not...ermm...

Actually there is a link to "ENGLISH" on the new Japanese page but it goes to the old url - which doesn't work...hmmmm


Dammit the other news sites really offend my sense of design style. Mainichi was a bit ugly but it was simpler and cleaner than the others.

I'm sorry the historical entry for MDN has been erased. From now on there will never have been such a news site. Adjust your thinking accordingly.

Yeah, I looked up the page after I posted and saw that. But for whatever reason didn't see it (or the broken links) last night. Maybe it was the "therapy session" I had with Dr. Shochu. :oops:
