cometh the hour, cometh the sand
Last Monday, most people living in Japan woke up covered in a light dusting of sand.
After picking grains of it out of their muesli, they would've gone outside to see their car covered in the brown stuff.
Having got to work and brushed their desk down, they might've had a conversation with a colleague that went something like this:
A-san: Did you see the sand?
B-san: Yes.
A-san: Lunch is soon.
It got everywhere - in people's hair, in their eyes, it even got into some people's brains.
The foul-smelling finger of blame is being pointed at China, already in Japan's bad books following their alleged foray into the unprofitable market of poisoned dumplings.
It seems that the sand may have blown in from the Gobi desert, a claim backed up by this recent photo of the desert which clearly shows that all the sand has been blown away, leaving only the concrete beneath....
Prime Minister Fukuda talks tough....
Mr Fukuda continues to mystify political commentators who can't for the life of them work out why he needs to lick ice creams while making speeches.

People are getting more worried about them because China has many more factories than it used to, so there's more chance of the sand mixing in with poisonous dust."
That's some good vacation planning guidance there!
