I was walking towards Krishna's to get rice today in Koreatown, and I passed by a new gift shop that had the following sign, printed on paper, on its glass door:

JAPANESE NOT ALLOWED.

and what I guess was the translation in either Chinese or Korean below. I seem to remember that it was Chinese characters, but being in Koreatown, that seems a bit unlikely. However, the current anti-Japanese unrest is in China right now.

Either way, it's pretty stupid. If it's still there tomorrow, I'll take pictures and ask the staff person there about it, firmly but politely. We'll see what happens.

You know those textbooks are being distributed to a grand total of EIGHT schools? XD

Great. China and Japan will lob missiles over the Straight over books used in one schoolboard.

I'd hope not, what the chinese protestors have done so far is enough of an over-reaction.

Regarding the resturant, if it is what I think it is, You can get them arrested. I would.

Bah, why put this through the courts? I think talking to them is a good first option.

Because, it's facist? It's not like you'll have to spend any time in the courts, it wouldn't be a personal charge. Of course, you should find out what it means first.

Alright. Nothing so far that I've noted though.
