Japan's First Lady Has a Blog

Japan's First Lady Akie Abe has started her own blog in which she comments on her activities as the wife of Japan's Prime Minister.

For those who are not familiar with the concept of blogs, Wikipedia describes them as an internet website where the author makes entries in the style of a chronological journal. They often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news, while others function more as a personal online diary.

Mrs Abe's blog is in Japanese and can be viewed at http://www.abe-akie.jp/.
