Please boycott China. Anything to do with China. Consider where your purchases come from. Vote for, and advise your leaders to be careful of China. And when I say "China", mean the CCP. The people of China are being taken for a ride by their dictator! I have known many Chinese people and they are all wonderful folks.

Nope. This is not how you learn a language. This is not how you interest most foreigners in learning about Japan or learning Japanese. —- Finally, the spoken word here is said much too fast for beginners to pick-up new vocabulary.

...... “” what goes around comes around””....... Nissan.

Nissan CVT are notoriously unreliable. Just do a search. Seems they have done nothing to solve the problems.

Do not trust WHO's director general Tedros. He is in China’s pocket. He is very corrupt.

Not only NO, but hell no! BERTIEWOOSTER has it right.

Where is the incentive to work?

Not only NO, but hell no! BERTIEWOOSTER has it right.

Olympics? At this level, not prepared.

All humans are created equal. Test and test now.

Too bad I cannot read that. Your sure that is for foreigners?

Damn bastards! Things in the “justice system” of Japan have to change ! This is NOT humane.

7 hours a day, intimidation and torture. Just the thing for a known terrorist and murderer ............wait a minute, he is a businessman?

No. Japanese thought processes are firmly linked to their past history. Their history is one of isolation and different ways of considering things. Painting with a broad brush here; —- Japanese folk do not directly face changes. One way you can see this is Japanese generally see no real need to speak English.

What I saw was smiles all around. Genuine interest and friendship. Haters gotta hate. Deranged. It is OK to have a disagreement or another opinion, but hatred and name calling belittles oneself.

Nissan, guilty until proven innocent. Same predicament as Ghosn.

This is hostage justice. I am sure the prosecution and judges will want this all finished before the Olympics. Not to sully Japan’s reputation.

Shame on Japan. This is not right. Likely they will try to sweep this under the rug before the Olympics.

..And it is not just peculiar words, but complete explanations that are incorrect. Things copied for one place that are not the same explanation in another place. — Needed to get some train tickets at JTB office, but there were no tickets at every office as the English explanation said. The correct JTB office was miles away and I was on foot.

Good!

Heads should roll......people lose their jobs and be made an example of what not to do!

Even juicer cooked in pressure cooker. Oops, that is KFC.

I do not understand why people are puzzled over this, the type of forkball he throws is “famous” for putting a lot of stress on the elbow ligament. This forkball is very hard to hit, however almost no MLB players have thrown it due to the injury potential. Look it up.

Lots of fiction in this book.

A very gifted actress ..... and hypocrite!

The folks in Japan who need their ego's stroked. Japanese folks need reassuring that their culture is good (when in fact, there are lots of problems).

Well........ A max of 50,000 yen! Yes, gonna be a problem for visitors. Yes, as gogogo says, in 2020 they'll be living on the street. A warm welcome, NOT.

Nothing written on the English version website about AKB. In fact the English site is hard to understand.

Over the ages of time the earth has cooled and warmed --- before mankind ever had a chance to make it's mark. Looking at the hard data, the earth IS now warming a bit. Seems to be no direct relationship to humans because we are generally too puny to effect things much. The sun among things has the power to make vast temperature changes.

First, what IS alarming is how many scientists are trying to profit, either economically, socially or politically, from telling the false story of man-made global warming. I know at the major university where I work, the story changed; initially it was carbon dioxide that was the culprit and now nitrogen dioxides are the problem that man has created. Meanwhile the researchers are getting lots of funding from us taxpayers.

Second, the politicians are using the excuse of man-made global warming to redistribute incomes world-wide.

In my opinion folks in Japan often fail at genuine empathy. Saying hang-in-there or do your best is not really empathetic. (Of course I am painting with a broad brush here, not all Japanese are the same)

From here in the US my family and I watched the events of 3/11 and even though we had jobs and commitments, we later made a trip to Japan to at least see Tohoku and show solidarity. And at that time we could not get our Japanese friends interested in visiting the areas even though they were traveling in parts of Tohoku with us.

He was pretty amazing!
