I travel to Japan three or four times a year and I would boycott any place that had a separate menu for foreigners with inflated prices.

I've lived in Japan for more than ten years, and I would do the same. Whether I got the local price or not.

This is a blatant cash grab. Charging a different price to "foreign visitors" will simply translate to charging a different price to foreigners, period.

Am I the only one who's now super curious what the question was?

The internal complaint and email describe a "toxic atmosphere" with "a culture of systemic bullying and public ridiculing"...

Why would an internal complaint to WHO be describing the office I work in? Have they got cameras in here??

That undergrad who found this better be getting the recognition he/she deserves, rather than the professors taking all the credit.

Awful lot of immunology specialists in the comments sections lately...

I am more curious what the response was when he made that call. What did the opposite side say?

"New phone, who dis?"

Awful lot of armchair immunologists in these comments sections. I'd like to see some diplomas, please.

A suspended sentence for torturing and killing 100 cats, huh? Wow. So, how many cats can you kill before you actually have to do jail time?

Asking for a friend...

By extension, then, just imagine how terrific it would be to have three jobs!

Leisure time with friends and family is for lazy chumps.

Less monkey business, more vaccinations. I fail to understand how Japan, a modern developed nation, has bungled the handling of vaccines so badly.

This is psychotic!

Does anyone in the world truly believe Trump could name another Japanese prime minister?

Burning Bush, the point you make is specifically addressed in the article.

"However, there is no legal definition as to what it means to "participate voluntarily," and it is up to the participants to consider whether their "voluntariness" was expressed in words or actions, senior legal manager at the Swedish Prosecution Authority Hedvic Trost said during a press conference in Tokyo."

Not convinced there is any meaningful difference between an organization using state funds, and an organization that is tax exempt and therefore subsidized by the state.

How is this guy getting so much DNA on everything??

I absolutely hate this policy. 28 is just too damn hot. Plus, I cannot remember the last time a government inspector came by the office to do a surprise inspection of our thermostat....

I have a new hero.

If the driver had said "tourists" instead of "foreigners", I think I would be in support of him. Tourists can be pretty obnoxious anywhere, not just in Kansai. I'd rather all of us foreign residents in Japan weren't automatically painted with that brush, though.

Police said they are considering whether the parents should be charged with child abandonment.

I would like to know how this isn't the very definition.

Can't they do both?

"Not too different"? Really? Can we please get an honest-to-goodness measure of statistical significance here? We have science for a reason.
