Those places do have some nice for a high price, at times you can find some bargains.
Usually go there to buy imported Cheese (World Cheese) or Ham and Bacon when the online import stores are out of stock.

As was said Tunnels, doubt all the current smuggling ones have been found.

I see similar often, many older people enjoy watching kids play.
Many kids also stay with their grandparents till their parents pick them up, might be such a grandparent.

Up to you nothing to do with stats.

Posted in: Trump bans federal funding for foreign NGOs that support abortion See in context
I am against abortion unless there is a medical reason or the pregnancy was caused by rape.
Abortion should not be a form of Birth Control, we got Confoms, the Pill, Spiral, etc for that. Educate yourself and Use them.
In additition each abortion increases the health risks for both Mother and Child in case she decides to have kids later on.

Nothing wrong with walking to school, my son did it here
As did I back home, once primary school was done(after 4yrs) we all had to catch a Tram on our own as the new school was a few klicks away.
Parent dropping a kid of, we would die from embarrasment.
Hope she recovers soon

holyholly.
A question of demand vs the cost/effort do add them.
Netflix in Japan caters for the Japanese market and thus has a differrent contents compared to other countries.
They would add them quick if there was a bigger demand for japanes movies in english speaking markets/countries.

Agreed, some of Toilets got a host of functions(usually under a cover).
Like temp control for seat and water, water pressure controls and more.
Personally I find the new symbols a bit confusing for newcomers.

Sensitive Subject for sure and a bit inconsiderate.
For me not that much different to finding a King James Bible or similar as the only free reading material or similar
As a Buddhist I am not interested in either book, should I Boycott such Hotels?
How would a Hindu, Jew Muslim, etc feel?

The way I see with every right and freedom also comes the duty not to abuse it.
Freedom to drive a car is regulated by law as is the freedom to own a gun.
Problem is when people want a right/freedom without the duties.
