- Kumamoto Links,
- Kumamoto-i mailing list, &
- Kumamoto-i Wiki.
The first site is "a gateway to regional information and Kumamoto's vibrant Internet community," Kumamoto Links. The links are "a by-product of the Kumamoto International mailing list" (Yahoo! Groups: Kumamoto-i), the second site, which Kirk Masden started in 1999.
Kumamoto Links is an organized collection of information about Kumamoto, much of which mailing list members have found and shared. Either the Introduction (top left) or the Favorites list (top right) is a good place to start browsing to find out what's in Kumamoto Links already.
Among favorite Kumamoto Links you can find the Kumamoto-i mailing list subscription page. If you are looking for something else, like restaurants, I suggest that you use your browser search function (command/control F - that is what I did when I was trying to find the Star of India).
The third website that I'd like to introduce is the Kumamoto International Wiki. This site also is a collection of information about Kumamoto. Yet it differs from Kumamoto Links in that it is a "wiki, a collaboratively edited website, for people living in and around Kumamoto" - in fact, anywhere in the world!
As with Kumamoto Links, you are welcome to browse the Kumamoto-i wiki, but you also may make contributions directly to the wiki. "If you'd like to start, check out the Getting Started page for help." I've been over and found a niche for info. about the Star of India on the wiki just now.
Kumamoto is very beautiful sity. Do you think so?
ReplyDeleteHi Lefty,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts about Kumamoto's beauty. If you know of any particularly beautiful spots in the city that aren't well-known, I suggest that you take pictures of them and write them up on your blog.
