Posted in: Fish, for so long a part of the Japanese diet, hangs in the balance See in context
“Fish is the perfect health food…” In an ideal world nutritionally YES, but in todays world only IF it’s caught in the wild and in places that are only slightly to moderately polluted with heavy metals and other toxins. Farmed fish one buys at one’s own risk. Bon appétit.

IMHO it’s hardly possible to be too cynical about Netanyahu’s motives in most instances, but if indeed disabling Hamas’ ability to repeat 10/7 is the goal, I’m in agreement.

Posted in: Japan to deploy missile defense unit on Yonaguni: report See in context
This has little or nothing to do with Defense of Japan. It’s Amurika pulling its puppet strings to create an Ukraine-like proxy war in a futile attempt to maintain its imperialist hegemony. The US military industrial complex will gladly fight China over Taiwan to the last Japanese and any other sucker nations that are subservient to it. ☮️

Posted in: Traveling to Japan soon? New entry requirements you need to know about See in context
On my 11/17 Delta flight from LA to Haneda half the passengers couldn’t get the blessed site’s blue approval stamp. I tried a dozen times beginning 24 hours before departure and still couldn’t get the ok even though I’ve had 4 vaccinations all done in Japan. The site was buggy as hell. After sweating bullets that I wouldn’t be let into the country, and stressed to the max, I made sure to give all the pink clad staff specialists at Haneda Immigration - and there were DOZENS of them - an ear full of good old Canuck gutter profanity. They were ever so polite and apologetic nonetheless (╹◡╹)

Go to your natural foods store and get the coils made from chrysanthemum. Way less toxic!
