True sensation at the Mini Event in Japan !
On November the 16th 2010, the Mini Cooper lovers from all over Japan gathered in Sodegaura, a town right on the other side of Tokyo Bay, to celebrate their common passion they all share for the Mini Cooper cars.
More than 2000 Mini Cooper owners attended the event which turned out to be a real blast. 
The organizers set up a race track where the Mini drivers could go wild with their awesome cars.
Of course Poken was present and in what a great way. The organizers gave away custom Pokens to all the attendees (see picture on the right). Their reactions were beyond expectation – they were constantly pokening and having a great time about it.
The event also offered other things to experience – there were various stands offering good food, different contests, music and of course lots of Mini Coopers to stare at and admire.

Poken as Enabler and Platform for Creativity in Japan
It has been a while since i started a series of trips around the world visiting our local Poken teams. I started in Tokyo in Japan, a very inspiring trip. It was very visible that poken as a device goes beyond and stimulates a lot of creativity. The poken above (One of Love) is an example, a charity poken initiated in Japan and spreading around the world now.
The smalles news stand was also born in Japan. A great invention of a highly creative talent using poken and Twitter. High four with your favourite news celeb or channel (like Obama, CNN etc.). Through the poken-card you will easily follow your newsfeed on Twitter.
