Posted in: 24 fishermen rescued from half-submerged ship in rough seas off Izu islands; 1 dead See in context

Am gonna curiously connect some dots here on the deceased. Seems he was the engineer, and the boat suffered an engine failure, and he was the only one to lose his life. Could this be a case of S....de? pre meditated? the other crew members being casualties? Can't imagine the horror at rough seas though. Peace!

Posted in: Should you drive through a red traffic light like this in Japan? Confusing road rule explained See in context

This explanation I didn't know, but I have always followed the arrows, and never slammed the breaks. Very informative though. Even driving schools in Japan haven't upgraded to explain these. They still have 1970's manuals and videos.

A few more simple traffic lights situations could include the flashing red light or at an intersection traffic lights can be red on all sides at the same, you might start moving thinking its gonna be green immediately etc etc

Posted in: Warm destinations to visit during winter in Japan See in context

Tokyo has been experiencing warmer winters in recent years too. Japan's Islands weather is very unpredictable, it suddenly be unbearably windy and cold such that recommending these places as winter escapes can highly be misinformative.

Cases of bullying and Harassment are easy to ignore, and often go unnoticed at work places in Japan unless something tragic like this happens. Since most of it ranges from passive aggressiveness to work overloads it can be hard detect, but it's a sad reality happening at work places in Japan everyday and none seems to really care.

I attended a comedy show over the weekend, and a Japanese comedian humorously mentioned the instagram V Reality situation of the Hachiko Statue. It's fame doesn't match the moment you actually see the statue. But who am I to Judge.

One leg of his pants was attached to the toilet in his cell, and the other leg was around his neck.

Are Japanese prison toilets elevated? The old fashioned style with a tank installed a bit higher than the seat or squatting hole, just wondering.

kohakuebisu & Mocheake In this Case this is the Shuto Ko. Have you guys used this Express way before?(Notoriously One of the narrowest Expressways in Japan and all Elevated. Takes real effort for a cyclist to be on this high way) I have driven on it many times.

Posted in: American cyclist dies in expressway accident in Yokohama See in context

Tragic

Yes police has to say the cyclist entered by mistake. Most entrances to Express ways are clearly and Boldly Marked in Japanese and English language( although the English is limited) Most Highways you have to take a winding road first till you reach the Gate( not all) Some you have to go up a ramp to get to the gate. Definitely you would have to realize am about to take a Expressway putting everything into consideration. It is really an unfortunate and fatal mistake. Could be absence of so much traffic at 3am in the morning could have tempted the cyclist or the mistake as the police indicated.

RIP

Posted in: Japan, China spar over import ban after Fukushima water release See in context

Kishida said during their talks that Japan has secured the global community's understanding regarding the safety of the water release and vowed to continue his country's explanation "with high transparency," according to the Japanese government.

The water discharge has been accepted by nations such as the United States and Australia, as well as the European Union.

So the global community means US, Australia and 27 EU Countries. Globally we have 195 countries. No wonder why China is saying stop goofing around Japan. You also get to know how much Japanese business community heavily depends on China than the US, AUS or EU countries which his Excellency MR PM K proudly holds in high esteem.

Posted in: Cholera vaccine shortage to last until 2025 as cases surge See in context

A shortage of cholera vaccines is likely to last until 2025 as outbreaks surge worldwide, a global vaccine alliance said, days after the World Health Organization warned that the short-term outlook for controlling the disease was bleak.

Of course who cares the disease mostly affect the so called third world countries in Africa, Asia, South America & etc. Developing vaccines for these countries doesn't have much profit for the pharmaceutical companies in the so called first worlds. So why should they care? So in short they are saying die you bastards until after 2 years maybe we will make a few more vaccines. It's disgusting.

It's weird that countries which have zero influence in certain countries seek a picture moment and ashamedley talk about crisis resolutions. If Kishida is serious then he should be visiting countries/ leaders with close alliances with Sudan.

Posted in: Teacher moonlighting as bar host arrested in Nagoya See in context

 According to investigators, the man lives with his parents and has been working as a host two or three times a week since late last summer, not so much out of financial necessity but because of an attraction to the line of work.

The shallowest explanation I have ever seen. It makes me wanna puke. Full time teachers are poorly renumerated and unfairly overworked in Japan. Now think of a part time.

FYI I know certain city's part time teachers working between 8am-14:30 and earning 5000yen. No transportation fee, if they own a car they need to pay for parking at the school, no paid holidays.
