10 reasons to visit Japan this summer
Most of Japan is back to normal following the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on 11 March. Many parts of Japan, including popular holiday destinations such as Hokkaido, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Mt. Fuji, Nagasaki and Okinawa, incurred no disruption to infrastructure and everything in these areas has continuously operated as normal. Tokyo is back to normal with trains once again running like clockwork, water safe to drink and the beer and yogurt shortages now over (yes, there were temporary shortages due to packaging factories having been in the earthquake-hit region!).

Japanese astronaut to grow cosmic cucumbers on space mission
Space missions are serious events; they cost billions of dollars and allow astronauts to explore the universe in mankind's ongoing quest to unlock the secrets of the cosmos. Each mission is a brave attempt to discover more about who we are, where we came from, and where we might be heading. Growing cucumbers was never part of the deal - up until now. Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa will be heading skywards on Wednesday to begin a six-month mission on board the International Space Station together with Russian Sergei Volkov and American Michael Fossum.
