Shockingly expensive! The target market is urban guests arriving from Tokyo (3 hours distant) but out of reach for local customers...

Where is the rice?

"...If It Sound Too Good To Be True It probably ISN'T."

In actual fact, the quote is incorrect...

"I once spent two weeks hiking through the Rockies with only Tevas..."

Who is 'Tevas'?

"Jailhouse justice" is an American anachronism which does not exist in Japan.

"With the system unable to read driver’s(sic) cards..."

Correction: Since both 'drivers' and 'cards' are plural, the apostrophe must be placed AFTER the antecedent:

"With the system unable to read drivers' cards..."

"However, even though NEXCO Central waved(sic) cars..."

Cars cannot be waved; in actuality they are WAIVED.

"Must have been truly remorseful…."

That is most doubtful. Probably unremorseful.

"...waste of taxpayers' money and time."

Poor spelling and punctuation have been corrected for you...

Did you eat 8 cans of black beans? What was the tax rate?

"Police said Masaru Iwai was driving a one-seater when his son Nagi fell from the seat onto the road."

The forklift was not equipped to carry a passenger; Police will charge the driver with negligence. Some agricultural vehicles, such as large tractors, combines, etc. do in fact have a second seat with seatbelt in order to safely carry a passenger...

One day on the job: I worked in a factory producing sailboards. No-one spoke to me (no English); did not have any lunch; no public transport (therefore had to walk nearly one hour each way); no safety measures in a dangerous, dirty workplace using highly toxic chemicals such as resins and epoxy; and finally the last straw...I was never paid!

Is green tea available?

Very good!

From the website Aviation Safety Network: "Three of six occupants, a pilot, a mechanic and a nurse were found on the floats and rescued three hours later. The other three occupants, a patient, her family member and a doctor were found in the cabin, but they were confirmed dead on arrival at the Fukuoka Wajiro Hospital."

"[Do] you mean they can count how many yakuza members there are but they can't arrest them?"

Yes, that is correct. 'Yakuza' is not an illegal occupation.

"They were helmets in Japan??"

Yes, there are.

"Foreigner do not have to pay sale[SIC] taxes on goods in America"

Hi, Backwards Larry! Tariffs have nothing to do with value-added sales taxes! You are welcome!

Wonderful photograph!

"So, tell us the cars you **would purchase. (So as we can shoot them down in flames.)"**

Thank you for your engagement, Fighto! I would buy a Suzuki Wagon R.

"The agency has also been encouraging parents to supervise internet use by their children and calling for the creation of household rules..."

Impossible. The cat has been let out of the bag...

Will I purchase this ugly green car? No, of course not. Will you?

"I remember not being able to afford chewing gum. We would steal tar off of the trucks retarring the roads, and chew on that."

'You were lucky! We used to dream of chewing road tar! We were so poor that we had to live in a rubbish tip. We had to eat 'alf a handful of freezing-cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day down at the mill for four-pence every six years, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!'

￥100 Yen Store Daiso Corporate Philosophy – Mission:

Pursue excitement with "Wow! I didn't know they had this at Daiso!"

I didn't know they had something like this!

What is the fans' source of illumination....keitai?

"$1.4 million dollars is not that huge."

Is that not huge in Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars?

"That would bring the alcohol content down closer to what you get in a can of Horoyoi, but it would still be 3.5 percent alcohol, a little over 15 percent stronger than the regular Horoyoi."

Arithmetic calculations are incorrect...

"At least the wheel haven’t fallen off lol….."

What about the nut holding the wheel?

"X-Day" was the name chosen by the media for the police raid on No. 6 Satian and the other buildings within the Aum Shinrikyo compound...Asahara himself was hiding inside a false ceiling in a compartment under the floor; a policeman looked upwards and thought: 'That looks strange, what's that?'

I can well remember watching the scene unfold on live television as well...thanks to JT poster 'Xamo' for bringing back those memories!

John-San: that Fighters uniform must be worth a lot!
