The world expo’s are now anachronism. The only purpose is for companies to Rob tax payers money and politicians to pocket bribes.
many international visits by several ministerial departments from participating countries also to no other avail but get into their taxpayers pockets.
nothing new is shown because the internet takes care of that within hours now. Well, there is the biggest sushi convertible of course.

Rarely in my career have I encountered that much courage, class and style in such a young athlete and woman.
she will return to the absolute top and win the Olympic gold that she so clearly deserves.
I am not sure the Australian ways of trainingcamp the best choice for her as Australians train on strength and power only. The women are build differently but Ikee’s talent and class will also overcome that.
my absolute respects

Posted in: What do you think Japan's policy on the war in Ukraine should be? See in context
Japan should have remained completely neutral. Ukraine has been in most of the time since the mid 1700’s part of Russia. Poor skills from Zelensky have twisted Poetins arm to invade.
none of this should be Europe’s or Japan’s business. All they have achieved is destruction and victims.

Upon reading the news I wanted to cancel my unused Skulype account. Impossible. You have to cancel your entire Microsoft account. Tempting but unpractical.
all these online providers make it nearly impossible to cancel the accounts as their revenue decides on the number of accounts. Governments look the other way.

Rugby Japan is not growing. School teams and registered players are declining. The Brave Blossoms in crisis under a burned out Eddy Jones.
JRFU wants to control Asia Rugby and slow down rugby’s development in Asia for its own benefit.
international rugby is in a fight for survival as a pro sport and goes from scandal to scandal under an impotent World Rugby association.

First of all, if the government did not store these huge volumes, there would not be a shortage as most of the rice will come from the 2024 harvest. So, useless madness.
The government buying these stocks drives up the price and subsidising rice growers when the price is high is also complete nonsense.
so, once again, just greedy people and companies
