        <description><![CDATA[John, you indeed kept promise.

Business is surely extremely important, but life has other facets as well. For example oversized monsters that tear down buildings.
:)

But you should have turned this into a 奥特曼lesson, because that cheap Japanese monster/superhero show is extremely popular among the kids here (I think the show is called "power rangers" in the west). ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Japan Self-Defense Forces
can never beat Godzilla on screen.
You cannot destroy the monster even with
nuclear weapons because Godzilla was originally
spawned by an atomic bomb testing in the Pacific Ocean.

But I guess there is some possibility
Chinese People’s Liberation Army may slay 
Godzilla with their secret biochemical weapons!!
Could it be that Godzilla is waving a Rising Sun Flag…?

They don't usually use that expression in Chinese, but they do say:

吓得尿裤子 (Xià de niào kùzi.)
'So scared I peed my pants']]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Godzilla is under contract by The Mori Company from Japan (builder of the New International Trade Center in Pudong) to assist with Shanghai Urban Redevelopment by knocking down all the old buildings.

 btw I never saw Godzilla eat anyone in his movies. I am in Tokyo, so during lunch I brought this up and we think Godzilla might have been a vegetarian. In the final movie they were able to get him out of the city by leaving a trail of fish. 

 There is also a statue of Godzilla in Ginza in Tokyo. ]]></description>
