A Japanese ex-soldier who disappeared after World War II and was officially declared dead in 2000 has turned up alive in Ukraine. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4916294.stm)

Poor guy. Kinda weird that he hasn't tried to return to Japan earlier. But maybe he was having fun in Ukraine.

This reminds me I heard about this one japanese soldier who was in I think the philippines for decades after WWII because he thought the war wasn't over and thought the people that told him it was over were just tricking him. :lol:

I wonder which one of the had more fun; 60 years in Ukraine or 30 years in Philippines on an island without knowing the war already ended.
