I sure do miss tasty, healthy bread. Japanese “bread” sucks.

As long as you are vaccinated and not obese, just get on with your life. Stop worrying.

Excellent news. Well done France. Make the anti-vaxers suffer for their stupidity and selfishness.

We all know the type. Usually a white Toyota crown or a ProBox. I am glad the bikers did the right thing, and brought this tail-gater down a peg or three.

So glad the Packers got knocked out. I hope the Bengals win the Super Bowl.

BK is so much better than McD's. I wish they were as abundant as the latter where I live.

I guarantee the whole building has inadequate insulation, if any at all. Gotta support the kerosene cartel in Japan!

Root cause of all this is Japan's tatamae culture.

Spot on. The chasm between the Germans and the Japanese is enormous. It will never change.

I love Netflix. Without it I would be in hell; just awful Japanese TV to watch. Hulu is rubbish in Japan, not sure about other countries though.

With some little mud from tsunami and radiation contamination, that's where difference are.

Indeed. I meant more like the ugly overhead wires, superfluous signage and barriers, plastic houses with metal windows....

The sad thing is, it doesn’t even look much more ghastly than the average Japanese village/town!

Can Japan’s working poor also get $1m in aid, please?

Who cares? It's not like it was a rave party! It was some drinks outside in a flippin' garden!

"It said on your form you like classical music."

Bullying is as normal and accepted in Japan as adding wasabi to your sushi.

Great news! Nothing worse than being around selfish and stupid anti-vaxxers!

Is this some kind of joke? A simple trip to the 7/11 here ends up burdening me with enough plastic to power a small power plant.

I'm from the UK, so it was easy. Just an eye test, translation of UK license and proof that I had driven in the UK for at least three months. Oh, and some money, maybe 7000 yen or so.

Another tragic end to another desperate Japanese family. When will the Japanese government wake up and deal with their own ‘epidemic of families in economic crisis’ and ‘mental health issues’ ??

Never. They don't care.

Problem still using Windows98, knowing Japan.

Nothing says "Coming of age" like all rushing off to see Mickey Mouse at DisneyWorld, as I saw on the NHK news last night!

She is smokin’ hot.

Dairy cows in Nagano and Hokkaido are grass-fed.

Less than 5% of their diet is grass.

Better look for small eateries where they make grass fed gourmet burgers.

No cattle in Japan are fed grass. It's all corn, There's a reason why the meat is so marbled and unhealthy.

It's cholesterol. Scottish people eat it.

No way would I live in Japan without the presence of US forces here. I couldn't care less about the latest outbreak, seeing as I am triple vaccinated already.

The single most annoying face on Japanese TV.

So sad what South Africa has become since the end of Apartheid.

Not necessarily, according to the article the body was "mummified".

You're right. Keeping a dead body in the spare room carries no health/sanitation risks!

In front of a roaring fire watching Netflix and drinking beer! Going to be very cold on Sunday.
