佛州室內照曬太陽燈沙龍開設多過麥當勞快餐！唔怕生皮膚癌？

　根據邁阿密大學皮膚癌的研究人員的最近報告，在長年陽光普照的佛羅里達州開設的室內照曬太陽燈沙龍設施居然較麥當勞快餐廳和CVS藥房店為多。

　研究人員指出，有超過1200家室內照曬太陽燈沙龍在佛羅里達州，而只有不到900家麥當勞快餐廳和少於700家的CVS藥房。

　他們估計有一個平均每間日光浴沙龍，約有15,000位顧客。分析師擔心是佛羅里達州是皮膚癌在美國是第二高的發病率。

Orlando Japan Festival 2013 brings love and joy

Orlando Japan Festival, organized by the Japan Association of Orlando (JAO) is one of the largest festivals featuring Japan in Florida. More than 3,000 participants experienced Japanese culture, performing arts, music and cuisines at The Village at Hunter’s Creek on November 3rd. Festival was kicked off at noon by Consul General Shinji Nagashima from Consul-General of Japan in Miami. It is followed by well anticipated “One Hundred Taiko Drummers” by Orlando Taiko Dojo and Montessori School of Celebration. At the same time, Basaar by Mitsukoshi offering unbelievable discounted items was open for the year end shoppers. Non-stop crowd filled up the audience section all day long. Many local Japanese restaurants offered their best dishes to support the Japan Festival. This festival would not be possible without the help of the volunteers, staff members, performers, and all the attendees. 

JAO and its members are committed to conduct an Annual Orlando Japan Festival to vitalize Japanese art, music, culture, and education through festivals in the Orlando community. The proceeds from the Festival will not only help Earthquake/Tsunami victims, but also support local organizations and individuals in their endeavors to further the excellence of Japanese visual and performing arts, culture and education. This year, JAO is able to donate partial proceeds to CFAO to support the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
