Read the article agian, ijit. The imperial couple is coming over here in July.

Under the latest plan, the Emperor and Empress will unofficially stop over in Hawaii. They will primarily interact with local Japanese-American groups and visit Pearl Harbor during a break, the sources said.

Try again.

 

Emperor, Empress begin trip to Canada, Hawaii

Kyodo News
Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko embarked Friday on a 15-day visit to Canada and Hawaii to promote good will and friendship as well as to interact with people of Japanese ancestry there.


The couple's official visit to Canada, the first since the Emperor ascended the throne in 1989, will mark the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Canada. It is their first overseas trip since a European tour in May 2007 that covered Sweden, Britain and three Baltic states.
In Canada, the two will visit Ottawa, Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, staying in the country until July 14. Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean will host a welcome ceremony and dinner for the couple in the capital.
The 75-year-old Emperor will be revisiting Canada for the first time since his trip in 1953, which was the first-ever overseas trip for the then 19-year-old Crown Prince. On that initial visit, he traveled from Vancouver to Ottawa by transcontinental train on his way to Britain, where he attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
On their way back to Japan, the Emperor and Empress will stop off in Hawaii for their first visit to the U.S. state in 15 years to attend a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship Foundation.
The program was set up in 1959 on the occasion of their marriage, with funds from Japanese-Americans in Hawaii as well as the Imperial Household Agency and businesses.
The couple's itinerary does not include a visit to Pearl Harbor, the scene of Japan's surprise attack in 1941 that brought the U.S. into World War II. The Emperor visited the site in 1960 when he was Crown Prince. The two will offer flowers at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl


please boy. maybe you should try again. ya think

 

You're looking at a completely different article, spaz.

 

Give me a break, it's only showing respect...I see nothing wrong with that!!!
It must be a slow news day...

 

Deid, IDK what sources you use, but I'm finding endless amounts of articles talking about the Imperial Couple planning to visit Pearl Harbor.

 

keep going Silver Lycan, i used your article news is only news to you right Rock Princess, go back to your thread trashing Palin. thank you.

 

who really cares what they would do if they ever showed respect. if... and when they ever get to Pearl Harbor, send me a note. ;-)

 

You did not use the same article, because the wording in both of ours do not match up on significant levels!

God you're dumb.

Goodbye Consort of Babylon.

 

They are both equals, leaders of their countries, no bow is necessary.

I personally have asked my Japanese friends who I have from high school. They all have told me that Obama should have just done the handshake. Because he did not do the bow correctly.

They told me, Obama being an equal, should not have bowed unless bowed to as well. Because both are of equal stature. A simple head nod downwards would have been enough of a bow to the Emperor.

Just look at this, and see what I mean. You will understand why the outrage.

The question people should be asking themselves, is why did the Emperor not bow back towards Obama to return the show of respect?

And why did Obama not also bow towards the Empress?

Both the Emperor and Empress only did the head nod, not a whole bow.

And for the record, sometimes all you get is a handshake, not a bow. As for the handshake being a weak handshake, it is not a sign of a weak character.

 

hit your Pearl Harbor link and you will notice something very interesting, you have no concept of world issues or even what you post, do you?

 

Oh no,,,2 different articles stating the same thing.....NO GO.

:excited::excited::excited::excited::excited:

 

go, run back to that wolfpack you enjoy so much

 

That is not a complete bow, that is a head nod. What Obama should have done, and which the Emperor returned.

Learn the difference.

 

whats the problem he is just showing respect, youl probably find that if theres a video the japanese emperor also bowed to him.

 

Here you go man, keep up with the news.
