		<description><![CDATA[Japan is a fascinating country. Steeped in tradition, yet quick to adopt new technologies and trends, Japanese culture is an interesting melange of the old and the new. That said, while they took the transistor from its western inventors and changed the world, some things I&#8217;m hearing don&#8217;t sound like progress to me. If you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you wondered whether it is acceptable to eat sushi with your fingers? And how many times have you been told that it isn&#8217;t? As a matter of etiquette, many cultures eschew eating with one&#8217;s fingers, which seems to be ingrained particularly deeply in western behavior. But be at ease, sushi fans, [...]]]></description>
