Posted in: 'Minister of Toilets' aims to transform Japan's public loos See in context
In Western Australia, there are public toilets that have automatic doors and everything is quite automatic too, automatic flushing, auto hand wash..... as u enter, soft music will be played for your pleasure. Then when the door closes, there is a little voice announcing "You now have 2 minutes to use this toilet, enjoy your comfort"........
I don't know what will happen after 2 minutes, I could guess the door might just open while you are still on your business..... I suppose...!!!
I didn't stay for 2 minutes but I did what I did in less than 1min.....!!!

Guess what????
If this Chinaman is caught in Australia for coral rigging, then the China Government will not make noise because Australia is known to be extremely strict on conservation but unfortunately this happened in Japan and the China Government will surely take every opportunity to make a BIG HUHA HUHA on it.......expected anyway!!!

Like it or not, its not gonna be cheap..... in those days when first Olympic kicked off, we could probably house all participants in one or two open stadiums and cheap.....Nowadays, we are talking about No. 1 World Class event, and Japan is not cheap either in practically everything.... Y50 billion for a Stadium???? hhhhmmmm.... this first bill is just the tip of an iceberg, the cost will spiral upward as the date gets nearer....but being able to host 2020 Olympic, surely a possible worthy pride of the nation...!!!

Strangely, how they classified an invasion of privacy as "Revenge Porn"??? this term is so misleading that it is already suggesting to the audience that the victim played happily and willingly for her pictures to be taken immorally...... since Japan is famous for online porn, the terminology of "Revenge Porn" is conveniently used, implicating the victims in itself...
what a rapidly changing and convenient-thinking society we are in nowadays??? Soon, a raped victim can be classified as raped lurer..... or porn lurer....god knows!!!!!

Posted in: Gripes over stadium overshadow 2020 Olympic Games euphoria See in context
Japan is known for world engineering excellent when it comes to heavy infrastructures. Image is important but don't over do it.
We don't want a repeat of "Concorde" where it achieved engineering milestones (faster than speed could travel) but a complete failure when it comes to commercial issues - too expensive and most countries do not allow Concorde to land in their airports, only a selected few.
Wise decision comes with wise planning.
Good luck Japan, you can do it both ways better!

That's the thing, selfish politicians are only thinking for themselves, never for the nation. The vote is in our own hand, you give your vote to wrong idiot, this is what you deserved.
"Selfish and idiotic politicians will make sure they put themselves first before the Nation".
Blame yourself first before you blame the politicians whom you voted.
The moral of the story is "You vote monkeys in parliament, you get monkey decisions."

The main problem of this kind of political culture both in China and SK is "They have to badmouth Japan so they can be infamous in their own native land".
Politicians in China and SK have to keep up with this kind of trend to be elected.... if they try to say something sensible or good about Japan to improve the relationship of both countries, they won't be politicians at all and they have to live on the pavement like street beggars...... trust me.... this is the only way to keep the bowl served with rice for the family....!!!
What a stupid notion!!!
