A Walk in the Woods

We give you the latest news of what happened yesterday.

.

The Japanese translator of Harry Potter series who's been translating it from the beginning and publishing it through her own company was accused yesterday of tax evasion over the past three years that amounts to around $35,000,000. The news came out yesterday in Japan, but it was only today that the English versions of not all but some of the Japanese newspapers reported it on their Web pages. CNN. com seemed to have reported it earlier than they did. Why they are always so slow in providing the latest news is beyond me. All they've been doing since they started their own websites is just reporting what we already knew the day before. Is it that it takes them that long to do the translations? As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if I can't read about what happened today in Japan in English, but I'm wondering what people around the world, including those now staying in Japan, who cannot read Japanese yet desire to get information about Japan, think about this tardiness, in this age of the Internet.
