Unfortunately drug users can die from a bad batch of their drug. It is mixed with many things by the cartels.

Posted in: 'Between The Lines': The emergence of Japanese soccer onto the world stage See in context

Like Rugby football Japan is a powerhouse in waiting. I have seen it with Japans dominance in the WBC.

Posted in: 2 Canadians face charges over smuggling of record stimulant amount at Haneda See in context

If they are willing to give it a try, they are willing to go to jail for it. Looks like the prices will be more expensive over the new year partying time.

This is a great place to experience what life is like in a real German village. I have visited a few times. All my German friends love it too.

Great to see. She was such a big star at the Tokyo Olympics. Definitely the most popular Japanese athlete in the world right now.

Posted in: 'Oppenheimer' to get theatrical release in Japan, after all See in context

This will be a big hit in Japan as most people in Japan have studied history and know a lot about the war. It will be interesting to see it from the other side.

Posted in: Japan university to disband scandal-hit American football club See in context

That will be tough for all the university students. It is one of the biggest sports in Japan after baseball and soccer. Hopefully they will make a comeback in the near future, so that the future professional players in Japan have a pathway to the big league.

Posted in: All Blacks captain Cane looks 'to evolve' as a player during Japan stint See in context

How can he get faster and improve his agility at 31? What are his current times for different distances? Rugby players aren’t exactly the fastest athletes, so I guess it can be done.

Posted in: Japanese workers took 62% of paid leave allocation in 2022: gov't survey See in context

It seems that like workers in the U.S, Japanese people love working and are very loyal to their company, not wanting to leave too much pressure for their coworkers. In many other countries, people use 100% of their entitlement every year.

Posted in: UK sci-fi hit 'Doctor Who' celebrates 60th anniversary See in context

I don’t think it is popular in Japan. There are much better quality sci-fi shows in Japan, which is famous for it around the world. Even in my country it is not popular.

Posted in: Japan vice ministers visit Ukraine to examine recovery needs See in context

I didn’t even know the fighting had finished. Glad Japan is leading the way in the recovery of the Ukraine. It seems that Japan is one of the biggest contributors in the world for reconstruction.

Posted in: Japan's ever-faithful dog Hachiko turns 100 See in context

Unfortunately it was moved from its original location after it became famous. They made a big Hollywood movie about it.

Posted in: SDF exercise suspended after member shows middle finger to reporters See in context

I think that the use of the middle finger is very rare in Japan. Maybe he has seen it on an American movie, but doesn’t understand the meaning.

Please world stop messing about with this country. Go hard at it. Make the people suffer. I saw a video on YouTube where the kids where abusing a foreigner.

Posted in: South Africa holds on to beat New Zealand 12-11 and win fourth Rugby World Cup title See in context

Why would he do a dangerous tackle in the final? Very poor discipline from a captain too. South Africa have just proved they are the greatest rugby union team in history with this win. Well done.

Posted in: Train gropers who fall to temptation intentionally targeted by extortion squads See in context

This scam was first reported in 2008 according to the article which states that it is the latest scam. Also there have been five incidents since then, which doesn’t sound too frequent. There must be better ways to extort money than this.

As the safest country in the world, it is great to see Japan accepting a record number of refugees. Many people from conflict zones seek peace.

Posted in: Over 40% of workers in Japan sleep less than 6 hours per night: survey See in context

It is not the fault of companies, which is the most common response here. I would say it is the workers who don’t plan their days to get the required 8 hours of sleep. Most people work and then go home to watch tv all night. Also drinking is not good for sleep.

Posted in: Woman becomes pregnant via IVF donor sperm after husband's death See in context

Very strange situation. The young woman should have notified the clinic when her husband passed away. There are many single men in Japan available to start a family with.

Posted in: Springboks look into claim by England's Curry of racial slur by Mbonambi See in context

Absolutely disgusting comment from the South African player. Imagine if it had been from the England player. This will be swept under the carpet.

Posted in: All Blacks crush Argentina 44-6 to reach fifth Rugby World Cup final See in context

I thought that Argentina would win the game. They beat Japan and were on a roll. I am sure they will win the game to be number 3 in the world.

Posted in: Japan to OK train fare hikes for holidays, weekends due to 'overtourism' concerns See in context

This is very common practice around the world. Airlines have been doing it for a long time it is cheaper to travel midweek than on weekends. If you want to travel please make plans appropriately.
