Obama Japan

So how are the Japanese citizens celebrating the Obama victory?
Well there is a town in the Fukui prefecture called Obama (小浜) and they seem to be having a whale of a time - just because Obama shares the same name....

Japan Probe has another CNN report.

How about the non American citizens around the world - would you be celebrating?
