Well maybe the media instead spreading fear about corona they should tell the Japanese citizens how to use their AC properly. Most Japanese I know keep their AC running 24/7 and around 22C. Electricity saving isn’t something that is part of Japanese culture….

Posted in: NTT Docomo to lower mobile phone charges See in context
Japanese never complain about things. Or at least not enough. I have a prepaid plan in Italy that costs me €8 / month with 60gb and unlimited calls.
