I'm sorry what? They were arrested for abandoning the body or actually killing him?

State of emergency...hmmm. Yup, I can see my local station from my window and it's crowded as normal. Corona taikai!

So many people think the Japanese health care system is great. It's really not at all. If this were the U.S. she'd have been in a hospital right away and that baby would have had a better chance. Perhaps Japan needs to let more hospitals treat covid.

Posted in: Half of Japan's population has received at least 1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine See in context
I had my first dose on the 5th this month. Unfortunately it seriously exacerbated some underlying conditions I have. I've been stuck at home since then slowly recovering. Now I have no hope of being fully vaccinated. I don't know what to do.

People get angry we are there. People get angry when we leave. We tried to train Afghans to defend themselves, but they didn't take training seriously enough. Did they really expect us to stay forever?

Stop overdressing like Darth Vader. Stop drinking Strong Zero and Chuhai. Stop playing sports in the middle of the day when it's hottest. Common sense really.

Posted in: Watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, I felt a mix of sadness and pride. After 18 months barred from entering, like many other lovers of Japan – not to mention travelers with plans on hold – I am itching to return. So, for 17 days, I was glued to the Olympic coverage on TV, as much for the thrill of watching Team GB as to catch sight of a country I love; of Mount Fuji, of the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, of the rolling Pacific Coast, even downtown Sapporo, way up in Hokkaido, where the marathon events were shifted to cooler climes.

A little obsessed?

Just got my first dose 3 hours ago and my body is certainly reacting to it. I think tomorrow is a sofa and Xbox day. At least I know it's working...or is it quasi-working?
