In Fukui, there's someone (could be one person, could be a gang of psychos) walking around victimizing innocent pedestrians. The crime: slashing the poor person's face and leaving permanent scars.
The first reported incident actually happened at the big park near my house (not the small one in my photos). I actually went there to jog by my lonesome a week before said incident.
Seriously scaring the hell out of me. Unlike the psychopath stories from pasig, this one's actually true.
Recently, the man struck again -- inside a mall! He was caught (of course), but there could be others like him.

A story making the headlines these days: wife kills husband. Make that physically abused and emotionally battered wife finally saying ENOUGH! And then hitting her husband with a beer bottle on the head before proceeding to chop off his husband's limbs all the while talking to a friend on the phone describing each thing she's doing.
The catch: husband and wife were married professionals. They live in a very nice apartment in Tokyo. You could say they're rich even by Japanese standards. Both are quite goodlooking and young (29 and 31 y.o.).
Cultural tidbit: in Japan, they don't even perform organ transplants because it's against their religion. So I wonder how the chop-chop act makes the issue of body defilement worse.

Early this morning, we were talking about regrets.
And one student tells this story:
A son of a family acquaintance holds a degree in Architecture. He graduated from Kyodai University (Kyoto University), one of the bestuniversities here (second only to Tokyo University, they say). Thing is, he wanted to change his career path and become a doctor. He was bent on studying medicine at Kyodai so he persistently took the examinations. He didn't pass the first time. Nor did he make it the 2nd time. Not even the 3rd.
Exam results were released the other day on the internet. Yesterday, poor guy hanged himself.
