He even has his hometown tattooed on his stomach.

Following the upgrade of the situation at the Fukushima power plant in Japan to level 3, indicating severe issues with containing radiation, Greenpeace reviewed the facts at hand. Fukushima was struck in 2011 by a tsunami, which severely damaged its reactors. Due to the intense radiation, workers have been unable to cool the fuel. Leaking water from cooling tanks, highly radioactive, has now been found in groundwater samples.

Unlike the chain of coffee stores you may see in Canada and the rest of the world, “McCafé” in the United States was introduced in 2007 as a line of “premium” coffee products. Following Starbucks-similar lattes, frappés, and frozen shakes, the line was designed to both challenge Dunkin Donuts and high-end chain coffee stores, as well as give a more youthful, coffeeshop-oriented feel.

In some countries, these are fully independent stores!
