Normal Service Resumes

Right.

Apologies for the dearth of posts. One regular reader has rightly described Urban Dirt as an "idle sod", and77626c6c5487dae3698eccda36a12ea2  it's fairly difficult to argue with that. Excuses include the oddity that, when Urban Dirt headed west to cover the diabolical aftermath of the Sichuan quake, access to the blogging software was mysteriously blocked out...

In the meantime, Urban Dirt has missed some truly choice moments on which to hold forth. The superb demonstrations in Seoul (hilarious); the closure of Paddy O'Kim's at the Westin Chosun in Seoul (mortifying); the sound beating of the Geronimo's Shot Record by a dedicated little team from Nomura (bullish); the defeat of the Children's Fund at the hands of J-Power (odd feelings of conflict); the "beer taxi" farce in Tokyo (now, we have to assume there's more to this than meets the eye).

So,back to normal from now on. Sorry.

  • Leo Lewis is The Times' Asia Business correspondent, relishing the smell of the world's most exciting markets. He has been living in Tokyo since 2003, but dipping in and out of Japan since the very last glory years of the bubble. He plays golf on courses built when Japan Inc. was about to take over the world, but wonders why it's the now the Chinese getting the best tee-off times and Wall Street that owns the clubhouse.

    His 25-year love affair with video games, manga and anime finally culminated in something useful in 2006 - Japanamerica, a book co-written with Tokyo University's Prof Roland Kelts describing the worldwide explosion of Japanese pop-culture.
