Roda do Parque

Bring your berimbaus and pandeiros, bring your capoeira pants and t-shirts, and bring your axé! We’ll be spending the day in Tokyo’s best kept secret and most beautiful park for playing capoeira. Tachikawa Showa Kinen Koen. There’ll be capoeira acro training, rodas, samba, and lots of fun! Bring your guitars, frisbees, soccer balls and whatever else you want. It might get a little chilly in the afternoon, so bring some warm clothes too.

WNTD 2007

World No Tobacco Day 2007

Date: May 31st 2007

100% smoke-free is the only answer

Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is well known that half the people who smoke regularly today – about 650 million people – will eventually be killed by tobacco. Equally alarming is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people who have never smoked die each year from diseases caused by breathing second-hand tobacco smoke.

World No Tobacco Day

All over the world May 31 marks World No Tobacco Day. Each year the World Health Organization chooses a different theme for WNTD to focus on. This year’s theme is particularly important for Japan to listen to if it wishes to join the rest of the developed world in it’s policy on tobacco control.

Roda in the rain

The rain hasn’t let up and even my secret undercover spot in Inokashira Koen couldn’t stand up to this downpour. So today’s Roda do Parque has been cancelled.

But don’t get upset yet, the roda has been moved to a different location and time!

Time: 9pm- 10.30pm.

Location: Isetan Department Store mall (undercover), Kichijoji.
