    Just last week, as my daughters and I were leaving the school where my youngest takes her karate lessons, I couldn’t help notice some odd-looking puppet-type dolls hanging from a tree outside the home of a nearby resident.

  #1 Signatures of main casts on the poster It is a title of an anime. Not the Eden restaurant you know in Penang. But this ain`t any action anime like Naruto or Bleach.

  Zen meditation brings to mind a lot of things: monks with bald heads, whacking sticks to keep you awake, incense and chanting… and you aren’t half wrong!  I was lucky enough to get into an afternoon tour of Daijoji Temple, one of the better known Soto Zen training temples on the west coast of Japan.  [...]
