suggest you launch IUMA Radio and let your
favorite genre play in the background while you

Japan for the Uninvited
It's impossible to describe the surprise
Jack Herbert felt on April 2nd 2003, when he woke
up in Nagoya, Japan. Hours before, he had been
happily frolicing in the meadows of England, when
he was brutally coshed over the back of the head
and bundled onto JAL flight 342: The Eikawa
Teacher Express. He wandered Japan's streets in
disbelief for a few months, but gradually realised
that nothing was different in Japan anyway, apart
from him. In
Japan for the Uninvited,
Jack shares his insights into the culture and
quirks of Japanese society.
10 x 10. Every
hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures
that matter most on a global scale, and presents
them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that
moment in time. Over the course of days, months,
and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly
statements which, stitched together side by side,
form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human
life.

creativity.
