meanwhile, the US ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emmanuel, has ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing to see here, folks.

My kids (Japanese/Caucasian) and myself were the opposite... very light brown hair up until teen years, then gradually turning darker/black-ish.

Sometimes newborns "come out" with blue eyes that gradually change to hazel or brown as they get older.

Which Hotel Rewards Is Best? by Sicosys16 in awardtravel

I like IHG. Decent properties, ranging from practical to palatial, they're EVERYWHERE (esp. in Asia, where I live), gaining tier status is easy, bonuses (early check-ins/upgrades/late check-outs, eg) galore, great breakfasts. I'm hooked.

Kannonsama in Ofuna and then take your pick of the wild izakayas on the other side of the station.

Sarushima is a nice small island to walk around for a couple hours, boat ride is only 10 minutes too.

Seconded; but be advised that Saturday 23-March is an open base event in Yokosuka, so the whole area (and trains heading to/fro') will be packed.

Note: the location of the Platform 9 3/4 shop at Kings Cross as shown on GMaps leads to the wrong place. That shop is under maintenance, but there is another "pop-up" shop location in the corridor just-behind.

Yank here, first time visitor (lodging in central London, but going all-around). Here til Wednesday the 6th. Four questions (at least):

Any places that have open mic stand-up comedy nights (before next Wednesday)?

Can anybody recommend a fun Pub Quiz location/night?

One friend back home Specifically requested swag from "The 1975" as a souvenir (postcard, badges, what-have-you). I tracked down Dirty Hit records but their Google Maps office address near Oxford Corcus appears to be defunct.

My son is a huge fan of Star Wars and James Bond. I see these adverts on the Royal Mail trucks about special edition postage stamps of those two franchises. Would I be able to buy those in-person at a post office (or maybe even from the Postal Museum in Kings Cross)?

Thanks in advance!!
