John-San comments

Gen ji mai rice is a Japanese short grain japonica cultivar not milled. It is brown japonica rice or hippy rice as it is refer to in the industry . The taste different is due to the husk material. Japanese grown japonica rice is mile above any other Japonica cultivars grown in other countries and superior to any other cultivars. The Japanese water quality is the most import medium that creates the superior taste. Yes there is subtle taste difference in Japanese grown japonica rice but it still miles above other japonica grown in other countries and other rice cultivars. You would not eat basmati if you knew of the water quality that went into the harvest. Filthy creek water contaminated with human and animal waste with no quality control. If you enjoy basmati you must enjoy eating your rice from a toilet bowl. In Japan the Perfectures control the water quality and the time of release of water for rice farming. The water quality has to pass a group draw from JA quality control board and nominated farmer from the Prefecture before the Perfecture can open up the gates for water release. This is the most intense time during the harvest and it happening right now. Farmer dislike a late release like in 2016 when in Iwate the gates did not open until the beginning of May. But the farmer know and have the confidence that the water is at it optimum and taste will be superior. Also the water you cook the rice is very important. Will get a subtle inferior taste if you cook Iwate grown rice with water not from the same district. Japan rice is the world best grown to world best practice.

Great location to be station at with new toys coming in 12 months. The ultimate posting for a young keen Japanese patriort soldiers.

About has sincere as the white gloves grew.

100,000,s of Israeli protesters are demanding the IDF kill all remaining hostages and bomb the aid truck convoy. What great society Israel is.

Without the imports to MLB the MLB will be an inferior second class league. Certainly have not thought this through.

Smokers sink and pollute people personal space and so do foreigners with their body odour and perfumes. Japanese rarely smell of body odour because they lose the ability due to not having active apocrine sweat glands in Adulthood. The smelly foreigners pollute peoples personal space also. Our scent is a mix of B,O, and cheap perfumes which make me gags when us smelly westerners get too close.

I hunted foxes all my life and when you see two foxes together they will be a dog and a vixen. So which fox to shoot first. always shoot the vixen first because the dog will run off but will return a minute or so latter so you wait and shoot the dog when it return. If you shoot the Dog first the vixen will run off but no way it will return. because she know there is another dog over the hill to hook up with and it the same with humans.

GuruMick. Same happened to me but I return to prepare my properties against a pending bad fire season. then covid and now caring for my demented ex-wife. I get back to Japan when I get some respite some 6 weeks a year. My Japanese Partner is in the exact boat had to return home to Odate and care for her Parents and Grandfather who recently move into god,s waiting room. She has two brother with young families so find it hard to find the time to help. And when the Parents die she be allowed to stay in the family home until she dies which will be maintain by her brothers like repairs council taxes, heating and cooling cost. but the eldest will be the owner of the house and farm lands. She does work enough to pay her own taxes and the rest of her time is caring. I suppose there are many people in Japan in the same boat. What does the J government do to help out not much. What they should do is to relieve her from paying taxes at lease.

Speed. Having some idea of how these place work both my ex wife and daughter have worked at god's waiting room. Where their children pressure their wealthy elderly parents to move into these facilities. These children are old themself and having to care for their aging parent also places pressure on them. In some cases untold pressure where they commit eldercare or eldercide or murder depending on your own opinion. There is not a day go pass without hearing of elderly sons or daughters killing their parents due to breaking down in relationship. The cost alone of placing your parent in God's waiting room in Japan is unfordable and only for the wealthy. On top of this you have bullies they have to live with and I assume this is a bulling case. I assume this because I was told of these bulling event during my ex wife and daughter shifts many times.

Yes it is crazy and violent in god's waiting room.

Sadistic Monster ? Very weird yes but sadistic sex monster ? that sadistic monster would be the one jumping the women or girl when they in the dark and only then would he be class as a sadistic sex monster.

Girls putting out is a good thing on the first date but don,t see anything into that. Take it as a bonus and don,t go thinking that you are a good sex/bed partner. If you are looking at relationship and the girl putting out don't mean you are deem a good and likeable. Don,t let the meeting go any further then 1 & 1/2 hours say good night and say I got a big day tomorrow. If there is any sign that you like to start a relationship ask the person can we meet again. If that is a yes say let meet here in a weeks time. Don't go given out your contacts and phone number that goes for both parties. It up to you if you want to pay for the outing or ask how would you like to do the money part. This will go a long way in making up your mind if you want to meet again.

I saw the Princess a few months ago and I said then to myself, Gee she looks crook plus very skinny. When I hear about what was being reported. I gone, are these people actual Journalist I bet she is very crook and this was from viewing a 3 second video. Yet these reporters were report some of the wildest BS. Like the Hamas attack after day one I know what really happen yet these reporters were stating the widest BS. Now after 5 months they are reporting the total opposite.

First I have to stay thanks to the Japanese driver, I have been traveling along the Tohoku tollway recently and all but one or two will return to the left lane after over taking. Also no rushing when merging into a single lane while the other lane is under maintenance. Great road users. With Pedestrian crossing I have notice very early on living in Japan that the Japanese driver is not keen on stopping for Pedestrians at crossing. But they do allow the Pedestrian at lights to cross without the pressure of ending forward in an attempt to speed the Pedestrian up. Over all Japanese road users are very good.

Anything has it use. I work with heaps of maintaince crews and smoking of weed was encouraged after work. It severely cut back on drinking and no hang overs on site the next morning. In the late 90,s random drug testing were introduce which included alcohol testing. At one place I worked was an Island with had a strict behaviour policy and even soft rules like smoking in a non smoking areas would see you on the first plane off the island. I remember one new starter was all kitted out to start on his first morning but on one told him about induction which includes drug testing to the mine and that a bus will pick him up at 9:00.. So he went back to his quarter the and hook into a few cold ones before, induction , The first on the list is drug testing by 10:00 he was on the first plane off the Island.

Some of the best conversations are amongst that group huddle together outside puffing away. This group has it own little support group when on the work floor plus team cohesion is high. I have never been a pen pusher so I can,t comment on offices which is only a smalls percentage of the work force. I have notice rebuke from non smokers about the smokers getting to have a smoke break.

Rudd will manage the situation, He knows and Trump knows Australia want and needs the fit out Industries required for half the contract with the UK for the Sub deal, which means a long term sub fit out and maintenance industry deal for South Australia. Labour needs the South Australia seats/ electorates to win the next election then watch Rudd put the boot in Trump if Labour win the 09/25 election. Trump will be gone and Rudd still there if Labour win the next election allowing Rudd to still be there until 2030. So Rudd will play Trump until the end of his office then Rudd will release a book and Talk fest tour embracing Trump no end. Rudd is a seasoned Low life, long life Politician who in for the long haul.

He going do just great. Just judging by comment. When one able to make it to the top in a sport it does not matter about size or looks, They have made it there on the ability and merit. by going of comment he as already got into the head of the opposition.

If you are so concern about your heath why don't just pouch the eggs. Instead they convince themselves that a fry egg in a certain pan form certain materials is healthy. LOL

3000 report and no arrest tell me these drunks lost their hard earned.

As long as any 30 cm fry pan has a litre and a half of lamb/beef lard in it to cook your eggs you be fine.

Back In 2016 I brought a number 11 Hokkaido Fighter Otani shirt. I have never worn it. I got for keep sake. Good looking also.

The IDF terrorist will go down in history as the Margots of civilian attacks. What mob would leave their dead IDF terrorist bodies for dogs to feed on. The IDF terrorist assault will go down in military history. This is how to turn your once loyal Allies into your worst enemy .

For. Because Japan will show The USA how to do world best practice. They already showing them how world best practice is done in the Auto Industries

Ok then Ireland was refer as Celtic word Lia Fáil in the 5 century so it is St Patrick of Lia Fáil going by your logic. You are just being pedantic.

Wallace that like saying there was no America no Europe no Australia in the 5 century. Those land masses just not appear from no where.

I always wonder way St Brendan the navigator was ignored by the Irish preferring an bloke from England.

Good reply Hello Kitty I did not know how I could slip the USA into that category as partner in crime without getting pulled. Thanks

So they want to ban countries that are badly behaved world citizens that kill indiscriminately. Wouldn't Israel top that list.

Funny that Patrick was English and wore blue. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/should-st-patricks-day-be-blue-180954572/
