But in Japanese the movie is called 君たちはどう生きるか. Why can't "How do you all live?" be used as the English title? It is more thought provoking.

Posted in: Women take part in Japan's 1,250-year-old 'naked festival' for first time See in context

Anyway, according to another article, this was the last naked festival because the next generation of young guys are not taking part. Is that why they let women participate?

Posted in: Is Japan’s custom of slurping noodles irritating, and why do people do it? See in context

"slurping" has a practical use. As you suck in the noodles into your mouth with air, the air cools the hot noodles. You mouth doesn't get burned.

Posted in: A gigantic new ICBM will take U.S. nuclear missiles out of the Cold War-era but add 21st-century risks See in context

Spending all that money of death rather than life (medicine). Well, we get what we deserve.

Invite friends to your place for a celebration. That's what I do. Better to celebrate the new year with your close friends than in a huge crowd where anything can happen.
