Posted in: Half-Japanese woman hands card to people who ask tiresome questions about her race See in context
I am Japanese. If I meet some Japanese, they normally ask me where I am from.
I don't like the questions. But I understand their effort to start conversations associated with me.

Posted in: 'Bureaucrats were in charge': Japanese doctor blasts ship quarantine See in context
This quarantine is to protect Japan from the cruise basically. That is the number 1 priority. In that sense, the government did a good job. However, thanks to stupid media and countries' criticism, they are released. Do they really think it good to put out those who have not been found positive in the epidemic area in China? Same as the cruise from the begining as of coming to Yokohama.Few media airs how many sick people enjoyed parties before Yokohama.

Posted in: Non-infected Americans from cruise ship in Yokohama to be taken back to U.S. See in context
I hope some countries take their people back regardless of infection.
On one hand, they block people from the area regardless of infection, on the other hand, they are urging Japan to release the people on the cruise.

Still schools in Japan take it for granted that there is a housewife/husband specialised for housechores.
That is why it is tough to raise children in Japan

It is horrible and useless.
It also happens to men.
Wearing lether business shoes caused me the same blood mark in the job hunting days, although it was hidden by trouser.
Any stupid business manner should be got rid of!

Japan is of course responsible for the war. However who disturbed Japan from compensation to forced labours? It was Korean government at that time.
They should blame their government.
