After celebrating his victory, the little Japanese town of Obama was in celebration again as Barack Obama sworn in as the 44th president of the United States…
Not sure how Obama is going to revive the US (and global) economies, but he surely revives this namesake fishing little town effortlessly :)
Obama, a small seaside city in Japan, is celebrating Barack Obama’s victory in the 2008 US presidential election…
Obama (小浜) means ‘little beach/shore’ in Japanese.
The small city in Fukui Prefecture, with an estimated population of 32k, has been garnering plenty of media attention around the world for namesake reason since Barack Obama announced his intention to run for presidency in early 2007.

A funny video about Bill Gate’s ‘last day’, featuring cameos by some superstars, famous celebrities and Microsoft staff; the vid was first shown at CES 2008 in Las Vegas
I am not sure what you folks think of him, but for me… Bill Gates is a key figure who shapes the world for the past two decades.
Without him, the personal computer (and software) industry probably won’t boom at such a pace… and without the boom, our internet won’t have the chance to prosper as it is, and people around the world would not be able to communicate as easily now.
So, it’s a huge thank you to Bill… and hope he enjoy his philanthropic life and continue making the world a better place.
