So, I’m postponing the mystery entry in light of the new President-Elect, Barack Obama. As you may or may not know, the Japanese enjoy partaking in various holidays that we have here in America, such as Christmas and Halloween. With Barack’s Obama’s victory last night, came an unexpected celebration in the city of Obama, Japan, located in the Hokuriku region, Honshu. You can find it below, in the center of Honshu. 

According to the Telegraph ,this fishing village in Japan is celebrating the win with hopes that it will stimulate the economy in the town by attracting tourists. It sounds like a crazy idea, but people, including myself, are crazy, so it just might work. I doubt many Americans will fly to Japan just to see Obama City, but perhaps they’d stop by on their way to Kyushu… Watch this video by CNN.
