Just what the hell does that signal in the picture mean?

Stop if you drive on the upper lane , lol.

Otherwise, it just means green for the coming car, and red for the opposite car. So if your are driving, you can just go

set a reasonable fixed price and distribute the rice directly to supermarkets

that’s exactly what I was thinking from the start.

The government is in the hands of players to favorise the business and does not make the necessary efforts. Fixed price and subsidies for the distributors, so simple

Average actress with average looks that for some reason became a star and let it go to her head

For what I have seen from her, she was ok.

Fortunately, not every actress is a top model, and charisma is more important

Oshikatsu phenomena has been described in the J-news for at least last year, nothing new

Rather than seeing the economic benefits, the government should be concerned by the social decline of the society to idolatry of some characters or idols from those otakus.

This phenomenon has been on for years and I saw on TV two girls praying their idol in a hotel room.

What’s going on ?

In Japan, a lot of second hand cars with no waiting time

No need for a brand new unless you have any specific requirement for options or colors like pink

Ishiba saying that he will try to talk to trump "logically" only makes him look like naive and ignorant

Ishiba can not accuse Trump and just speaks politically correct in front of journalists.

Japan will just try to talk and negotiate with the US, that’s it. If the Trump administration is deemed to listen

.

at a time when tensions are heightened over potential contingencies involving Taiwan.

it has been decades this sentence is included in articles, along with the threat from North Korea.

So technically, no changes regarding the threats in Eastern Asia

Sleeping driver or medical condition such an heart attack

Israel has the green light from the US, that’s the problem

If for example, an Englishman bet online from Japan at a UK bookmaker and paid by using his UK bank. Would this be breaking the law? Asking for a friend.Mr KiplingToday  04:01 pm JST

If for example, an Englishman bet online from Japan at a UK bookmaker and paid by using his UK bank. Would this be breaking the law? Asking for a friend.

Yes if you are a fiscal resident of Japan.

Otherwise, by using a foreign bank account, I do not see how someone would know, unless you make millions going into your UK bank account that would look suspicious. And reported by the bank to the authorities of UK then Japan.

Do not pay for them then you can justify your defense budget increase

I never understood why people just gather only hoping to see a glimpse of a star.

But it would have been nice to let the players go through a gate where they could be seen without any temporary wall

Well, administrative jobs lack stimulation for young people, and this adds to the population decline

There was hardly any resistance among the Japanese public, including Tokyo residents

From what I have heard, any complaint was reprimanded and if we had the cultural mind to follow the orders, not many dare

@MarkX

My local farmer also complained about JA, saying the price should not have risen so much. For some reasons, it seems he does not go through JA but sells on his own.

What a timely article. Guess what: I recently got rejected by several jobs I applied for. According to some people who know the industry, it is because some companies only want JAPANESE Nationals. Guess what else: I have 7 years of relevant experience in my industry, speak business level Japanese, been here for 15 years and even have PR. But, nope.... I'm not good enough.

That’s how it works.

unless you have connections or are a recognized expert in your field.

It took me 2 years and 80 resumes to find a job in the past, but with a connection, only one resume was enough

I do not except any price decrease, or just a symbolic 100 or 200 yen for 5kg. All the food intermediates will just make more money through the supply chain.

Anyway, it takes time for the rice to be on the shelves.

Not arrived yet I presume

Before the internet time, a discovery and adventure when going there for the first time.

Now, just Google to make sure the place is ok and repair in advance.

I think the government should really explain if there is any threat and which threat it is ?

Selfmongering just to beef up the military budget and develop an island, and there are jobs behind too, is not sufficient for me to believe in what is done, destroying a part of the nature on those islands. It should be a really concrete fear.

Certainly a non binding agreement to calm the POTUS for a while

Ok, two cases reported, one with a woman already vaccinated, and another one with a non vaccinated kid.

It does prove the vaccine is not 100% efficient.

And although some cases end with complications, most have no issues, except a high fever and a few red spots.

Had the measles when a kid, no issues but a really high fever. Vaccination was not possible at that time. At the end of the day, no need for it, naturally immunized .

But the weakness of the yen -- which has shed a third of its value in the past five years -- is one factor deterring Japanese travelers along with inflation and a renewed interest in domestic travel, analysts say.

Everything is said, weak yen, soaring cost ,

Many just prefer to travel domestic, save a few yen, not having the hassle of customs clearance and airport waiting time, added with a bit of anxiety when abroad .

Why renewing a passport then

Exactly, it is not the tourists who directly drive up the prices, just the tourism and real estate agencies that capitalize on it to make money.

saying he raised his nightly rates by more than 10 percent from 88,000 yen to 99,000 yen due to the weaker yen.

Weaker yen is not an issue for domestic hotel prices. Just making more money from tourists.

Went to Niseko last year in June. It was nice, and the ski resort does not feel like Japan but overseas. And in some restaurants, staff could not speak Japanese.

But not worth the beautiful ski resorts in the European Alps.

When cannabis was legalized in Canada, authorities and media said that Japanese smoking overseas could be prosecuted in Japan as this is illegal here. Of course it does not happen but legally enforceable.

I do not know about prostitution but it is possible depending on the law that the woman won’t have a free pass if the authorities stick to the law, want enforce it if such a law exists. I have never heard of it anyway

I remember the governor of Shizuoka begging for people from Kanto not to come to Shizuoka in 2020-2021 during Covid. although it was not any legal point.

Does he need tourists now

Not for me

But nothing is done to reduce the debt

Trump by his policies is just starting the US decline.

The ordinary Frenchman really couldn't give a toss about this sport

What you might not know is that the TV channel L’Equipe , free to watch, broadcasts the sumo tournaments in a very exciting way. No live so all the useless and long time out are cut. The diffusion is very exciting thanks to the commentator passion. It has resulted in many French having an interest in Sumo.

25 years here, I think it has never been so much snow
