This is interesting and also confusing...Canada usually refuses to extradite even the most terrible alleged criminal to countries that have the death penalty (much to the anger of the general populace).

Once the Red Cross gets the money, it becomes theirs. And the Red Cross disperses the money as they see fit, at their own discretion. So that means a big chunk of Japan money could have gone to other countries that the Red Cross adjudged to be in need.

Well, he defended his country albeit in an unsophisticated and naive-sounding way. Google Mauritius, a binky little island that was home to the extinct Dodo bird.

Yummy yum. I love tomatoes. Kagome guard your seeds for the precious commodity that they are! Never have dealings with Monsanto! IMO, Monsanto would take your 7,5000 seeds, destroy them, and then make you grow some genetically modified frankenstein crap.

Smart of the Japanese consumer! Don't bother going to Korea or China. Don't waste your money on people who crap on your country. Go to Hawaii instead. My parents went to beautiful Hawaii, Kimokekahuna, and found that many, many people in business spoke Japanese and were very welcoming.
