Noriajohn, haha get real. No way Nagoya would ever cut the rates, perhaps only for those over 60, they get all the discounts here anyway.

Nagaland, "she probably got very little support from her husband.." that's a reckless assumption to make, you have no idea their family situation.

Simon, because she doesn't have a job. Do you make money being a mother?

How about a sign for all the housewives or old people who walk interminably slow or stand in groups at the top or bottom of escalators, staircases, or right in the middle of a busy thoroughfare.

Where are the dead people? A month into this and there are no dead people so to speak. So please tell me why is it there are so many apparently untested cases here yet such a miniscule amount of deaths. Please someone explain.

I said it last week when that guy went drinking full well knowing he had the virus in Nagoya, I'll say it again. Nagoya is the worst area in Japan.

Japanese moms forced to be moms! The horror! No more all day school/club activities. No more after school (insert your class here) to dump the kids off at. No more time for lunch dates, shopping dates, English/tennis/yoga class. Life is hard.

Typical Nagoya act here. Worst area of Japan.

Derp!!! Derp!! Of course the Olympics will be cancelled. America has cancelled all sports leagues indefinitely, thus America will cancel the Olympics. Cry me a river but the $$ America shells out for the Olympics is what counts. And when that disappears no IOC member will give a second thought to British cycling, Japanese Judo, Korean archery, French crossainting, or Australian rugby.

Traveling for a while at the end of this Month. Baht, rupee, ringgit all weaker vs. the yen. Excellent

Mrheisei, she's unemployed because contrary to what many want you to believe, a stay at home mother or housewife isn't a profession or job.

Toasted,

Worked here in Nagoya for a while, can confirm over a handful of women have told me they ran the race expressly to get the necklace. It's the same as snowboarding, skating, hiKing, etc. They go out and buy the $$ gear, only to be used once then rendered useless as a boring pursuit. Truth hurts

Post the women those chinsy tiny tiffany necklaces. That's all 98% of them care about.

Its 6 freaking months away. much ado about nothing. I bet we will look back on this in August and scantily remember a cruise ship and some bat in a wet market.

JtSnose, very valid point. My Mother was a champion soldier and my father was injured as an athlete. Thus they decided to cook on every other Tuesday and only.one would vacuum on the weekends. But both would clean the bathroom when they felt good and my father more so since he was more physically capable.

She needs material to be able to complain about him while she's at the French cafe, Italian restaurant, Starbucks, park, English lesson, swim school, dance class, etc..

And yet the ratings are still outstripping nearly everything else on TV, week in week out.

Cultural appropriation!! wha wha kimono wha!! It can go both ways, you see.

Typical overreaction by the news and media. Nothing more than some rain and wind here in Nagoya, yet they decided to cancel our Korea flight yesterday without even waiting to check. Glad everyone got all their bread and water yesterday!!

Picture is Japan in a nutshell. Mom and her mother with single kid out shopping for parachute pants on a Tuesday while the husband is hour 8 into his 14hr shift.

Nakano, You could literally replace Korean with Japanese word for word and it'd be exactly the same. Except maybe the Japanese wouldn't protest because, meh, shogenai, there's some Pokemon Go to be played.

Lets drag this out. Going to South Korea for the second time in a Month on a 4 day wkd for about 10k round trip. Way better than boring Nagoya.

Collegepark, that's a great inadvertent point. Maybe if Japan observed daylight savings and didn't have absolutely absurd summer sunrises of 445am, then it wouldn't be so oppressive even at 7am. But of course, no need to change things , Just keep on keeping on Japan, and continue to fall behind the rest of the open advanced world.

35?? yes, today, tomorrow, and maybe a few more days this week and early next week. Beyond that, it'll be a warm but comfortable high of 28-30 in the day and much cooler at night for the duration of the World Cup. Hardly insufferable heat and humidity. The whinging of mostly British folk and Japanese in Japan in regards to the heat is overblown and lacks perspective. The summer this year was from mid july to early September. 6 weeks, thats it.

Nobongna, glad to hear it . Keep flying JAl or Ana at 10x the cost. by the way, how many accidents has AA had with all those old rusty planes?

Not at all a problem here. Do you not hear the high school, uni aged kids purposely laughing way too loud in restaurants, cafes, stations etc? Such an affectation. I'd laugh out loud just to exact revenge in a theater.

Men and women cant compete against each other in sport because women would get trounced at every professional level not to mention the threat of injury as well. No one would be laughing if a woman were paralyzed or killed while playing rugby, american football, etc.

Ridiculous, Japanese love to spend money just to spend money. Found flights from Osaka to Manila and then a beautiful island elsewhere in the Philippines for 52K total for the 10 day holiday. Enjoy the teems of people, overpriced everything, and packaged tourism of Hawaii and Japan during GW!

Just another lame excuse for Japanese ladies to get together in one of the huge packed department stores and buy chocolates and drink coffee and shop on their husbands hard earned dime all the while complaining about him. What a culture.

Its Chinese, not Japanese.
