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!

If Moore likes Europe so much, he should stay there. And don't come back!

No. She is a liar. Will do or say anything if it helps her in the end.

.... Well , lots of frustrations. I've had a great time over six trips but;

Yen travelers checks purchased in US - cannot cash in Japan banks, except at few in Tokyo! They'd never seen them, no policy, much sucking of wind through teeth. Cannot be done.

Cannot use my numerous US credit cards in many places. Waiting for Post Office to open to get cash. Post closed before I returned to town.

Where is the Wi-Fi? Had to rent a portable unit.

Rules, rules, rules and no bending of the rule for any reason (see above Yen travelers checks)

No foreigner in my taxi/restaurant, etc

Folks here feel no need or reason to learn English, although they think they are a part of the world order.

No high quality cold medicine allowed in country, need Dr's permit for other medicines --- no problem for the same situation for Japanese visiting US.

Could move to Japan, but; how to open bank account, how to get someone to sell me there empty home?? Received a credit card offer, but no, you are foreigner, cannot be done.

Name on ID (Passport, etc.) does not match local documents; romaji VS katakana VS English on documents --- rules say cannot complete the "deal" . Middle name & initial problems on documents, not matching. Paperwork is designed for Kanji names (space on paper allowed)

Not a third choice here: Hell No !
