now there's a surprise..... （＾＿－）

and resell them for profit at tax-inclusive prices

....in other words they are selling at normal price? if so, why would someone in Japan buy from a tourist? seems to be no advantage. and how would/do tourists connect with Japanese would-be buyers I wonder. and.... though usually, articles here include LOTS of statistics, there are none here. how much of this 'fraud' is happening, at what cost to the Ji-Gov? and will the added bureaucratic costs involved in checks at airports and etc and etc recoup whatever the 'defrauded' sum may be? all sounds very weird.

so 20,000 people a year stare at you? Gosh! 400 a week. 50 or 60 a day..... as Redemption surmised, "You must be pretty darned good looking." either that or you're a Gorn: https://trekcentral.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Gorn-1.jpg （＾＿－）

saving the world looks like a lot of fun.....

“bold leadership” （⌒▽⌒）

gosh! snd he's only been there a day. what a man!!!!

.....plus..... 'the Games', and all the other never-ending-sportsfests are sooooo planet-friendly. doing what humans are best at..... abject waste.... （⌒▽⌒）

at least as architecturally innovative and interesting .... (some) koban around the metropolis.....

crunch time...... for the edible bug business?

Everyone seems to be praising the escape, but 18 minutes seems really long. The passengers could have easily been killed by smoke inhalation. The doors should have been open seconds after coming to a stop.

They would have first needed to evaluate what doors to open, if they got that wrong people could have been going down a slide into the flames. Thats why the small delay.

I've read that the other doors wouldn't open!

379 passengers, 1 chute (in a panic situation).... something like 3 seconds a person.... imagine it. seems pretty rapid to me....

When will men learn.

Romance at the office is a no-no.

romance??????

at my local post-office, it takes two people, sometimes three, to tackle the monumentally complex task of.... sending a letter. and they act as though they've never done it before. small wonder they're in the red.

hey guys, we're in the red...

yeah, let's improve our efficiency

nah, better to price ourselves out of the market... （＾＿－）

is there any field in which Japn is not going to 'take the lead'? (according to FK anyway)

an overnighter in Tokyo, meet friends, and dance at Neo Masquerade..... as yer do.

pleased to see they could take a few moments out from stressing about China..... LOL

as imagined by Wim Wenders in his 1991 film Until the End of the World.... in which Max von Sydow is a scientist developing tech that can record visual experiences and visualize dreams....

 to solve real-life problems

computer-based test

meanwhile.... illegal immigrants......

Well, I really can't fathom what is wrong with this ghastly chap. Why would anyone want to do these things? S it from porn addiction, has he gone bonkers or is he being controlled by demonic forces.

porn addiction???? demonic forces????? probably just one of those low quality people you often mention, old chap. （＾＿－）

the ones who were caught anyway.....

Goes to show you what impoverishing your people and devoting resources to a small privileged class dedicated to accomplishing your goals can accomplish.

NK doesn't hold a monopoly on that!

The woman, who was not seriously injured, immediately called the police.

literally, LOLed....

they'll be issuing these announcements for the next..... how many decades? then they can start the decommissioning....

if I was at a festival (or anywhere else) and a stranger approached me saying 'here, eat this'.... I think I'd proooobably decline the offer....

doesn't seem very planet-friendly, one way and another.
