Posted in: Little cheer as Japan, China mark 50 years of diplomatic relations See in context
It doesn't matter whether there's little cheer or not. But we cannot deny the fact that for the past 50 years, a lot of economies got better and many people became richer because of the peaceful co-existence of these two super powers despite American-induced tensions.

Posted in: U.S. seeks united front in Asia despite Korea, Japan tensions See in context
Japan and Korea tension? Created by the Americans themselves! Only people with low IQ could not figure that out.
East Asia is safe and peaceful if being left as it is, without American interference and intervention. But an unstable East Asia is good for military business, which is Americas major economic driving force.
FACT!

Posted in: Japanese ski resorts luring crowd-averse 'glampers' See in context
It's one of the many choices we can have. If some people choose glamping over normal camping, then it should be respected. I like the discomforts brought by regular camping because they keep my brain working. Glamping can be quite interesting though but I have never experienced it yet.

Cutting-edge technologies? Seriously? Manually accepting patients and rejecting them via phone call are what you call cutting-edge technologies?

No one is willing to spend because of Covid and no one wants to invest because of Covid. Only when the mindset is changed to pre-Covid state is when we see a dynamic turn of economic activities here in Japan. In the meantime, let's see how other countries will start bridging the gap and will overtake Japan in terms of economic progress earlier than expected. Japan is SINKING!

Posted in: Japan has disappointed many people who love Japan and have a potential to like Japan. The border closure not only made many tourists who had plans to visit Japan upset, but it also will make them more cautious of Japan at least for the next few years. See in context
Japan is back to square one. The amazing strides they made for tourism in the last seven years are all flushed in the toilet!

Because the Tokyo number is way down, it's now time to use the national figure to maintain a 5-digit figure in order to solicit reactions out of fear. Great job!

By the way, Kyoto was sooooooooo dead when I went there for a business trip. It's like a Covid patient in an oxygen tank.

Posted in: Japan set to waive some visa requirements in October to boost tourism: Nikkei See in context
I see nothing here about allowing in independent tourists. And what does “certain countries” mean?
I means blonde and blue-eyed tourists... I see a lot of them recently roaming around my work area because it's a tourist ground. They don't wear masks and are very casual looking.

Hope he doesn't turn woke and start preaching to people how to lead their lives as if he knows what everyone has been going through. Athletic strength , combined with a Greta-mentality is a dangerous combination.

Posted in: With all the bad news in the world, whether it is the war in Ukraine, coronavirus, climate change , economic problems or political divisions, do you sometimes get tired of the news and just "switch it off?" See in context
The world now is no worse than the world we had in the past, and vice versa. It's just that, we have more opportunities to magnify bad news through main stream and social media. Imagine if social media was already there during the Bubonic plague! It would have been the end of human race.

Posted in: The pros and cons of living on Tokyo’s outskirts See in context
A lot of smart people I know have long left Japan because they stayed way too long in Tokyo. They could not withstand the stress. During reunions, one can also tell the grumpiest of the bunch are those who are living in Tokyo condominiums or apartments. The ones with less wrinkles and happy outlooks are those who have long left Tokyo and settled in the suburbs while still keeping their Tokyo jobs.
