Fighto!

 Perhaps Thailand is not exactly sending their best to Japan?

I always see you comment "this country is not sending the best". Do you even know what these people do here in Japan and how much they are paid for? Many do meager jobs that either Japanese have no interest in doing or too old to be doing. The Yen value going down isn't helping either as they send bulk of their meager salaries back to their home countries.

These foreigners did the crime so they must face the consequences but don't act like only foreigners commit crimes here and demand that those coming to work here must be the cream of the crop.

Some desperate people commit theft regardless of nationality, no excuses, just facts.

Trump: "Elon Musk endorsed me FULL THROATED, great endorsement. Not easy for him" LOL

She was winning but wanted to go for the ippon as she believed she was the superior athlete, like the people around her kept telling her coming to this Olympics. Her reaction after the loss tells it all.

Trump camp will milk this to the last drop.

Biden needs to step aside and let a younger more capable candidate to run for the Dems.

amid rising prices and labor shortages

Not many young Japanese wants to become caregivers so these companies look to professionals from Asian countries like Philippines or Indonesia, who mostly are licensed nurses back at their home countries. Many of them quit though when they find out about the hard working condition, fairly low wage plus a declining Yen as many of them send a large portion of their wages back to their home countries.

Bringing families here in Japan to live with them will be financially difficult as well as uncertainty due to their limited years of visa validity.

Mochiake

Few years ago, I've stayed in Beijing for work for two months. Although I don't speak Chinese, I see TV dramas and movies about Japanese occupation of China everyday I was there. I've watched Flowers of War (Rape of Nanking, starring Christian Bale) too many times in the hotel I was staying. If this is not state sponsored brainwashing, I don't know what to call it.

Japan brutally occupied China for almost a decade and showed very little humanity and regard toward the civilians. It's documented. They bayoneted pregnant women while raping and massacring tens of thousands. You have no problem with that? Every August, Japan rolls out the victim card and plays like they were always a peaceful nation; the innocent victim. Peace-loving and pacifism got forced onto them. You can buy that bs they are selling if you want but don't try to sell it to me. Not once in the near 4 decades here have I heard one Japanese person speak on Nanjing. Ever heard of Unit 451? They conducted hideous experiments on Chinese people, which Japan has never acknowledged. Go read up on your history.

I am not trying to sell you anything. My post is about my experience how the CCP controls their media, stoking nationalism and sowing hatred. I am not denying Imperial Japans invasion of China and its brutality. Where in my posts did I claim all that you say did not happen? My own country was invaded by IJA as well. They were brutal and left it in ruins too. But you cannot deny that the Japan that was then is not the present Japan, it is far from perfect like any democratic country. We all know that through the years living and working here, something that many present Chinese doesn't know because of what they see on their TV everyday.

Isn't this what "Abenomics" wanted? inflation? Thus the BOJ doing the same thing Kuroda did the last 10years?

Lost my apartment keys once. The next day I traced back the route I walked and then I saw my keys, taped on a lamp-post, very easy to be spotted. One of the many good things about this country.

I've seen "salary reveal" videos of people under "trainee" visa and many earns around 100,000yen. Then there's personal expenses and they have to send some of whats left of that to their families in their home countries. With the value of yen going down, they need to render many hours of overtime to cover for that lost. Truly a hard situation for many under the internship visa program.

We do not know the background of these two, but they did commit the crime and needs to be punished according to the law.

Living like kings doing their shopping at DonQuihote, Daiso and BookOff (",)

Disposing of old or broken appliances or large furniture here is already a bother and costly, imagine how much it would cost to demolish a rotting house.

Was the fax machine broken? Or the Floppy Disc reader malfunctioning? Perhaps the USB reader cable is no longer compatible to its intended reader? Knowing how things are done here, I think the authorities are still on the 8th round of meeting before they decide if they will use digital media on handling sensitive documents.

I was hopeful that BOJ governor Ueda will at least try to reverse what Kuroda and Abe did with that sham of "Abenomics" but alas he is no different. The only thing changing in Japan is the number of its old people.

A spokesperson for former Duterte confirmed last month that such an agreement was made

Duterte sold his country to China, he was a product of heavy propaganda and fake news which easily swayed the poor voters. Now his daughter is the vice-president and the Duterte family are doing all they can to oust the sitting president because of the Philippines pivot back to its traditional Western allies.

I guess its a big hit for fans but if you are casual and see the way it was constructed where there are obvious attachments for it to move, you would wonder if the price of ticket to see it is better spent on just seeing the one in Odaiba for free specially if your goal is to take pictures only.

Perhaps when the technology is there where the giant robot can move independently, now that is one worth buying ticket for. The location though is very near to tourist spots like Minato Mirai, Akarenga, Yamashita-park, Motomachi Chukagai so one can just see this Gundam from the outside if you are already in the area.

Many of the foreign caregivers are licensed nurses from their home countries and are English speakers. The main hurdle of passing the nursing exams here is the Japanese language so they end up as caregivers where pay is lower. They should try other countries where they could work as nurses and language is not a barrier. Lower wages as caregiver plus the falling Yen doesn't make Japan attractive for these skilled workers.

The former President Duterte was a Chinese stooge, now that his daughter is the Vice President, their whole family are doing all they can to malign the sitting president to elevate his daughter to the presidency. For six years, the Dutertes strategy of cozying to China brings nothing but disadvantages to their country.

I do not believe that Shohei is betting on sports. I do think that he was only innocently trying to help a friend in need. The sum of money transferred under his name make you wonder how he did not know what what was happening, as the article mentioned there was no explanation of that.

He needs to come clean, get their story straight and stop hiding behind his US lawyers. That is not how it is done in Japan. Man up, tell them he is innocently helping a friend in trouble who was integral in his MLB career. Face some sanctions if any and then bow and try to earn back some lost trust.

Well at least now the J-media can talk about something else about Ohtani, other than the usual stalking reports of him and his wife.

Also, the Dodgers didn't know about Ippei's gambling problem and Shohei knows nothing before they signed him? Ippei retracted his original statement that Shohei helped him pay off his debt.

ESPN said it spoke to Mizuhara on Tuesday night, at which point the interpreter said Ohtani had paid his gambling debts at Mizuhara's request. After the statement from Ohtani's attorneys saying the player was a victim of theft, ESPN says Mizuhara changed his story Wednesday and claimed Ohtani had no knowledge of the gambing debts and had not transferred any money to bookmakers.

Hmm, why change his story about Ohtani helping him pay off his debt?

There is no capital punishment in the Philippines. Buying properties is still largely cash based, presumably the property they are planning to acquire is from a rural area, far from the capital. Perhaps they carried that large Yen amount to avoid bank fees and the seller doesn't have a bank account, many still doesn't as it is still a developing country.

Regardless of nationality, families can do murder over money or property.

Clickbait or not, the picture above is genuine thus highly offensive. You honor your ancestors, fine, but at least know what they did to the countries they invaded during WWII.

However, the use of super bombs opened a terror greater than Japanese war culpability. This is why some people knee jerk and the use of these weapons. It isn't something that is as bad as what the Japanese did. It's something worse. 

Tell that to the Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos and other Pacific nation invaded by IJA. Do you honestly think that if the Japanese had the bomb first that they won't use it on another?

Did the men take Mefenamic acid or Ibuprofen?

Nobody is putting a gun on their heads to come to Japan. I just hope they get the whole picture such as working conditions, Japanese work culture, racism, cost of living and the continuous depreciation of the yen. They might reconsider if it is still worth it to come and spend their younger productive years here.

2 Filipinos face murder charge over bodies found under Tokyo home

Two Japanese murdered, will the 2 Filipinos get the rope if convicted? Prison in Japan will be heaven compared to the prison in the Philippines.

China is flooding the market with EVs. They make one like they create smartphones where the user will replace their old models few years after purchase. They are just built NOT to last.

Japan inflation falls to BOJ target of 2%

Wasn't this the target of Abenomics TEN YEARS AGO??

Abe is gone and Kuroda is out and BOJ is still holding on to this policy. Stubborn isn't even the word to describe it.
