Posted in: Surge in inbound tourists pushes Japan to explore dual pricing See in context

This is an unfair practice, this is stealing.

This is exactly what it is Ripping off tourists. The government should create a law to create dual pricing.

How will a restaurant distinguish between a permanent resident and a tourist?

Why do you have to disclose your private information to the government? In addition, you have to go through an interview. Feel like a job interview.

Posted in: Japan's loosening of COVID-19 entry restrictions may keep citizens wearing masks See in context

Foreigners should wear masks, it’s clearly not following the rules. If tourists are not wearing masks, certainly they are going to mask’s inside the train. They should be penalized for not wearing masks.

Posted in: As COVID fears ebb, Japan readies for more tourists from abroad See in context

“Visitors have to abide by guidelines requiring travelers to have a special coordinator, stay on specific routes and abide by rules like wearing masks and regularly using disinfectant.”

Some or most tourists will not abide the rules, it’s how they are… they just don’t care.

It will be too crowded in Tokyo and other cities. There should be a limit amount of tourists coming in and I believe that Japanese citizens should enjoy their own country.

Posted in: U.S., European business leaders urge Japan to end COVID entry ban See in context

Look at Europe and U.S. everyone… well almost everyone.

-Don’t want to wear mask.

-Don’t want to get the vaccine.

-Everyone wants to do what ever they please.

Giving no consideration of other people around them.

Business can be done by using our wonderful technology computers. Fast enough to do job.

If everyone got the vaccine and wore masks, and followed the rules. The pandemic could have been over last year and business as usually.

Posted in: U.S., European business leaders urge Japan to end COVID entry ban See in context

We are in a pandemic it’s natural to that Japan is protecting its Japanese citizens.

Why do other countries have to force other countries to open their borders during a pandemic?

I’m sure Japanese citizens don’t want more people to come in and in effect Japanese citizens with the omicron virus.

European Business or U.S. has no rights to force Japan to open up its borders during a pandemic.

Posted in: No. of foreign trainees in Japan falls for 1st time amid pandemic See in context

Japan is doing a great job of protecting Japanese citizens from the Omicron virus by keeping borders closed. If tourists, other foreigners would have allowed into the country, the Omicron would spread easily and quicker in the country. The medical system will be overwhelmed with patients in the hospitals taking caring of citizens, foreigners and not enough beds. I also want this coronavirus to be over, if people would listen get vaccinated, wear mask and follow rules, it could have been over long time. Japanese citizens first outsiders secondary.

Posted in: Measures that made Tokyo Olympics possible also left public disconnected See in context

Silly Olympics who don’t have a care for the humanity.

What happened to the meaning of the Olympics, it was supposed to be the Tohoku region recovery. I guess it got lost in translation.

The real winner are doctors, nurses and medical staff who work day and nights and help patients fight the disease.

The losers are athletes, volunteers and other staff members who participated in Olympics. If they had some humanity decency, they would give up their medals. While they were celebrating, laughing and over joy. Patients are dying in hospital fighting for their lives. Families are losing love ones, relatives and friends to Covid.

What matters to athletes… that earn shiny trinkets. 

If they were not the pandemic… yes then let’s celebrate. Still I believe that Olympics is useless and should be abolish. It’s wasting money.

The silly Olympics has more than 259 athletes and staff members test positive for COVID-19. This is connected to Olympics, now people are going outside to see and take photos that has to do with games. Government said stay home.

Also, government is neglecting their duties, to focus on the Olympics games. Everyone should listen to the experts, when they say stay home. It really does not feel like a state of emergency.

Stay safe everyone!
