tax increases that require broad public understanding

...who give their Grans flowers, and everything.

LOL of the day.... thank you!

is targeting this particular demographic inherently a microaggressive act I wonder..... （⌒▽⌒）

Diagonalslip, 一 can too easily be modified to 二 or 三 in legal documents or currency, so the more complex character 壱 is often used - same meaning and pronunciation but impossible to alter.

thank you!!!!!

what is the kanji used on the ¥10,000 note please? to the left of 万円....

Anyone remember "Christo ", a European post modernist artist whose claim to fame was engulfing various buildings {eg. Eifel Tower } , coastal sea scapes {part of Sydney Harbour } and even the German Parliament '

with the type of material being used to block Fuji.

I can see his greatest work, one that will stand the test of time and be a monument to all that post modernism means.........COVER ALL OF MOUNT FUJI !!!

exactly what came to mind Mick.... Christo's departed this realm however.

'they' could always follow their mantra of "if in doubt lay concrete" and surround the entire mountain with concrete barriers as per Fukushima..... stymie those pesky tourists whilst supplying plenty of pork for the usual suspects! （＾＿－）

interestingly, at the Scramble, a couple of years ago or so, 'they' introduced the recorded message that 'the signal has turned blue (sic)'.... so now people don't even have to tear their eyes from their window-on-the-world long enough even to check the lights (and why so many people trust the lights rather than checking out the traffic activity is always gobsmacking to me)... have been thinking, whenevr I'm there, that this is an accident waiting to happen. and that's only taking into consideration normal traffic conditions/behaviour... then there are the occasional nutters who drive through crowded intersecttions on purpose! personally, I prefer to take responsibility for myself in such situations....

They should arrest the host who made the 14 year old needing to prostitute herself to make oshi payments as well

try as I might, can't seem to find any mention of a "host" in the article....

not apropos childbirth, but..... " people basically pay 10 to 30 percent of medical costs "

who pays 10%. anyone know or have experience of same? used to be that retirees (or maybe those who hit 70) paid that, but they upped that to 20% some years back. just wondering....

I don't think there are many 70 years having babies sir.

How much did you pay for your children's births, if not 10%-30%?

seems you didn't read what I wrote....

What a sad display.

?????

how very magnanimous of Amazon, Pfizer et al......

but left flexibility for countries heavily reliant on coal.

included language that could extend the 2035 deadline 

seems like another outbreak of definite-maybe-syndrome （⌒▽⌒）

I suppose I'm not the only one never to have heard of her. wedding dresses a niche of clothing design, true, so I also suppose that Japanese women know of her, I'll ask around.

anyway... I read the linked interview..... extremely interesting and impressive. and... Kenzo moved to Paris in 1964, paving the way for the likes of Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto (who reaped the fame and glory).... yet, Katsura Yumi-sama was there from 1960!!!! a pioneer in many ways.....

"I will walk with women across Australia to say enough is enough,"

says the country's LEADER.

seems to me that people are marching exactly because he and the rest of the political elite are doing nothing to solve the problem....

The woman died just before midnight Thursday, while her husband sustained non-life-threatening injuries

other than the sudden and probably devastating loss of his wife of perhaps 50 years that is.

in a race to turn their promises of environmentally friendly air transport into a commercially viable reality

not as "environmentally friendly" as doing away with the whole ever-escalating 'let's out-spectacle all other spectacles' shooting match.... but then, that'd derail the gravy train wouldn't it.

At least one French military AWACS surveillance aircraft will police the skies during the Olympics, using its powerful radar to watch for any potential airborne threats, the French AWACS squadron's commander previously told The Associated Press. Other military aircraft can be scrambled to intercept any non-authorized flights that enter restricted Olympic airspace.

headline shoul perhaps have read:

"Paris will be put on a war footing to safeguard its wildly ambitious Olympic opening ceremony"

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?
