I hope it is all no smoking now.

Last few times the smokers were 1 meter away from our table. Yuk.

Goodbye present from Carlos!

I would call for more compensation if I were them.

Reforms will never happen.

Seven and i at their Ito Yokada supermarkets employ many single mothers on the bare minimum wage part time contracts.

No hand outs or staff discounts for these unfortunate ladies though.

Charity should begin at home.

Back in 2003 Dentsu was our ad agency for a luxury UK brand.

It was not uncommon for the Dentsu reps to turn up for morning meetings having not slept.

They could not concentrate and the presentations were awful.

We stopped using them when on another occasion one of them turned and had severe flu.

2 of us caught it and so bad it was, we ended up in hospital on intravenous drips.

What is it called? Yokozo Japan!

This is deplorable. My home town had a population of 30,000!

The longer you stay here and scratch the surface, the darker it gets.

18 years for me. Japan is far from being the kind, gentle and polite place it portrays to the outside world.

Another policeman caught after a despicable act.

He will hang for this after conviction and hopefully suffer many many long years on death row until without notice, cell door will open and he will meet his fate.

RIP mother and kids.

So lets face it, some Japanese can be very cruel people behind the veil, or mask they hide.

The more you scratch the surface here, the more disdain you will discover.

Seems like they never let the dead rest in Japan!

War dead or anyone else.

I cannot remember how many memorials I have attended for my father in law.

The 3 year do is after one year, 5 year after 2 years - I never understood it thank when he was alive.

I really hate this time of year.

All travel, hotels are double price. Long tail backs on highways.

Why everyone has to go away at the same time?

looks like a proper bird! Oozing power and confidence.

If I was allowed, I would vote for her.

Assume = Ass out of U and Me.

I think they used Booking.Com or similar and the card number given online to confirm the booking. On check out they were stuffed.

A few more crashes on the horizon if they let Japanese fly them.

Apart from language issues, ask any western pilot what it is like to fly with Japanese, a nightmare.

Charlotte the monkey?

North Korea will destroy North Korea!

Another nail in the coffin Abe san.

It must be over soon. Low approval ratings, scandals, resignations.

Who next I wonder?Abe?

I always knew the South Sudan jaunt would end in tears.

A nation that has no experience of modern warfare for over 70 years is wholly unprepared for the nasty hostile environment which exists there.

These guys have been shooting blanks in Hokkaido forests for training.

When they were in Iraq on a humanitarian mission the Dutch and Brits were protecting them.

I am sick to the teeth of reading stories like this.

Boris when feel how hot it is in Japan at this time of year.

It gets hotter in August when the 2020 Olympics will be help.

I hope he agrees that hosting the games at this time of year is going to be hell for the athletes and visitors alike. Should have chosen October like in 1964.

You can literally get away with murder or anything else in Japan.

It happened outside territorial water, so why should Japan stick their nose in?

Mori= Arch Buffoon.

Johnny looks half dead in the photo so an apt title.

This is very common among Germans working in Japan I heard.

Another egg on the face of VW.

The police can keep you for 23 days for any offense without charge.. You just have to focus on the 23 days and keep your mouth shut. Easy really, if you are strong enough. Most Japanese are not so break and try to top themselves.

Conspicuous that the Australians are not at the party! Trump does not like the Aussies at the moment.

Pachinko parlour again is my guess.

I can just imagine how this (woman) looks. Dyed hair, heels, short skirt....poor baby.

I wager Abe will pop into Yasukuni today on the back of this message.

Kimrox: You beauty! You would make a great immigration officer. If you dig deeper you will discover how wrong your thinking is.
