Wait. It's Summer in Australia and it's hot???

Well I'll be.........

Condolences to their friends and loved ones.

I will stick with robust natural immunity but good luck to the company.

As long as it's a choice, people can put whatever they like in their own bodies imo.

Doctors had assured pregnant women that the drug was safe.

This reminds me of a recent drug that doctors assured pregnant women that the drug was safe.

Time will tell.

On retrospect - the present is already telling.

I love the aesthetics of a ryokan and the food has sometimes been good, however I don't like to have to return to room at certain times to eat, to wash etc, etc. Some have no baths or showers open mid day after coming back in the summer sweat. Not great to have to wait until evening. Some don't open the bathrooms until the evening, which means a whole day feeling unwashed before venturing out.

I would rather see the town I am visiting than be confined to the inn all evening, and eat when and what I choose at a local establishment and then enjoy frequenting a local bar or two and meeting other people.

Ryokans are far too constricting for me in general. Although every once in a while, I can reluctantly suck it up for the pleasing surrounds.

I think the hospital should have updated its COVID-19 page. There have been no legal covid restrictions since last May.

Most likely. I have never been asked for anything when visiting a friend in hospital throughout the whole so-called 'pandemic' (cough, cough). Or when visiting family at their workplace. They said it was never a requirement, for visitors or patients.

I even saw a nostalgic mask poster on the bus yesterday. Looks like had just been left up out of laziness.

Only one old lady on the half packed bus had one on. So doubt they even 'request' it even, anymore.

Cultural fun times.

It's actually an amazing time to exchange overseas assests into yen and use to travel domestically right now.

Basically get to increase by 30% or even double the value of your money.

Food. Drinks, etc etc become cheaper.

Hotels are less than half price generally.

As Japan is super cheap to travel to now and the prices are often half or less than half of people's home countries, Japan has become part if the 'backpacker circut' when people travel to SE Asia, they now take the time to visit Japan at the same time. Coupled with the usual tourists, you can see many more around, especiallybin popular areas.

I expect more hostels and buckets of asahi will be served in some more natutal places that will fill the spiritual void of some,

Kao San Road with Zen.

Brilliant player and Brilliant man.

Great to see a man of principles do well.

He is so healthy and fit and really cares about what he puts in his body.

I prefer imported fish

Sad accident

Was a fantastic game to watch as a Tiger's fan.

I surely hope this doesn't mean Japan will scimp out on any aid to Ukraine now.

Zelensky needs all the help he can get atm. Europe and the US have become less willing as time goes by.

It doesn't bode well for any support to Japan in the Pacific theater, should this powder keg ignite.

I doubt many will be happy to loan military aid to Japan due to massive GDP debt.

De Niro is an angry man.

Has even threatened to punch people in the mouth.

Uncouth and his acting isn't that great anymore either.

What an embarrassment.

I bet there are better run Halloween activities in the retirement homes this season.

Laughable overreach to people trying to have some joy in their lives.

Well done Spurs. Looking great after 10 games.

May it continue.

I have always enjoyed visiting Ibaraki.

Each prefecture has it's own charms and scenic spots or shops.

They also have their pros and cons,

You just have to look at the top 5 seats in Australia which have majority indigenous Australian populations to see what many were feeling.

Lingiari Northern Territory (who currently has an indigenous MP representing them) - 58% NO

Durack Western Australia - 73% NO

Leichhardt Queensland - 67% NO

Parks New South Wales - 79% NO

Kennedy Queensland - 81% NO

You're welcome

Calm, happiness and relief for the majority, including many, many, unity minded, indigenous Australians.

Good riddance to a bad idea.

Maybe paliestines so called ally Egypt should open the border and start accepting refugees.

They tried to at Egypt's sole crossing in Rafah, but it has been bombed repeatedly and is currently closed.

It seems they are making a situation where the civilians are not allowed to leave, easily or at all.

Cutting off electricity, food and water will have dire consequences for the children and elderly there unfortunately.

It would be best if the members of HAMAS and the IDF, go to an adjacent field and line up in lines, like the traditional battles akin to the US Civil war or Waterloo and walk towards each other firing.

Leave the civilians alone.

Does 'Japanese Only' mean no Okinawans either?

Meditation can be effective.

As long as the students are awake.

I hope this isn't affected by the possible tsunami

Who would have thought that paranoid (so-called) adults making kids scared out of their wits of catching a deadly disease (that barely affected their age groups overall) and then forcing them to sit alone, muzzled in silence surrounded by petroleum based plastic screens would have any detrimental effects on them?

I Am Stunned.

Looks brilliant

Could probably jump over it if only a meter high.

What if they just identify as a 'real monk'?

Nehls has nominated Donald J Trump for Speaker.

That would be interesting.

The whole suggestion of dividing Australian citizens over their race and granting privilege for one citizen's ancestry over another's ancestry, explicit in the question of the refferendum itself is the most racist thing about it all.
