Nagoya Gets its Props
The Daily Yomiuri is running a story on the recent successes of the city of Nagoya. I've always had a soft spot for the city after studying abroad there for a semester at Nanzan University in Fall 1998. Even though it's the fourth largest city in Japan (the Yomiuri calls it "the nation's third-largest metropolitan area, behind Tokyo and Osaka," so I guess they're including Yokohama in the Tokyo metro area), Nagoya seems to get no respect -- the city seems to be more of a conduit for travelers than a destination unto itself. I'm glad to see the city is getting a bit more attention these days.
I hope to get back to the area for the 2005 World Exposition next year. However, by that time Sarah and I will be new parents so who knows what'll happen.
