Now, McDonalds Japan will begin using the DS to train Part Time workers!

The chain is developing a DS training program called “eSmart.” New part time employees will train through this software. Using the new DS software, McDonalds believes it can cut training time by half over conventional methods, in part due of the familiarity of the DS system. It hopes to quickly get new employees out on the floor.

How they train themselves through a DS software, I have no idea. I always believe that doing things yourself is the best method to learn something new – I wonder whether using the DS will be that efficient? There are certainly stuff you can’t learn when using the DS..

It is unknown how long the statue will be stationed in Shizuoka, however, it be moved to another prefecture and will eventually be erected near the Bandai Hobby Center.

It is estimated to bring in about 40 billion yen. My goodness, how many zeros are there!?

According to the city, 9,600 jobs will be created for security, maintenance, and other operations at the site. More details about the exhibit’s duration and related events will be announced at the end of March.

I like to see the Gundam one day myself.. ^^
