Masks are useless as we all know. But I have to wear the damn thing all day at work, if I refused I guess I would be shown the door. It feels like Japanese will wear these prisons for the face forever. I have never worn a mask for daily running and for Taekwondo and Judo practice. When will we be free of these useless face prisons in our daily lives?

No wonder everybody is selling yen for the Dollar and Swiss Franc.

What a basket case japan is.

As expected with the BBC, a politically correct casting.

No. Nobody cares what the wokes think.

I believe in total equality. Women too should be allowed to give up their lives to their companies and have no free time at all. They should be allowed to do all the same hard jobs such as construction the same as men. They should be allowed to join the SDF/army and fight and die the same as men. Equality in everything.

At least everybody I know holds the absolute bare minimum of their money in the poison yen.

The yen is in freefall as the J government do not know what to do. Japan is in a total crisis mode now. In any other country it would be goodbye LDP

Nobody believes in a 2 percent inflation rate. It 's more like 10 percent at least. Not to mention shrinkflation where everything is getting smaller.

Yes indeed over 130 yen to the dollar with the forecast of 150 sometime during May. What the hell is the J government waiting for. A currency in freefall and tourists not allowed to scoop up all the extremely cheap goods and services to be found in Japan? Senseless!.

The Yen has collapsed further this morning, now on the cusp of 130 yen to the dollar, with 150 yen to come very soon. Now is the time surely to open the borders to tourists who want to visit, so they can take advantage of bargain basement, dirt cheap Japan. They will spend spend spend on the ultra cheap goods available here with the collapsed Yen.

Do they Strangerland? I have seen some half hearted Judo lessons in schools here but I mean proper self defence classes with experienced trainers.

I want schools to teach their students self defence. Judo, Krav Maga, Hapkido or something. This 17 year old dude would get the shock of his life. I train in Judo and Taekwondo and have seen some very skilled girls of Junior High school age.

I have heard of foreigners in Japan demanding their companies pay salaries in dollars or they quit. What a shameful thing for Japan how far and how quickly their collapse has been.

The Japanese yen, what a joke of a "currency". Nobody holds the disgusting yen anymore. Everybody holds Swiss Francs and Dollars. Impossible for Japan to attract foreign talent now, unless companies pay them in Dollars.

I agree with everyone on here, Macron has been a wonderful president.

Ghosn is 68, thus doesn't have many years of life left. He has plenty of cash and will just see his days out in Lebanon. He has no reason to go to France, I'm sure he has had enough of this total farce.

Yes absolutely ridiculous this tourist ban.. Open up and let all the bargain hunters in. The Japanese yen is the world's weakest and sickest currency, now at 128 to the dollar and on the way to 150 in a few weeks. Surely now is the time to let in the world's hoards so they can take advantage of their huge spending power in Japan now.

Of course tourists will soon come flooding back to dirt cheap Japan with its basket case of a " currency". I imagine the Chinese particularly will be snapping up everything in sight with their extremely low prices. Who wouldn't?

I guess very few foreigners here keep any funds in the collapsing yen, other than everyday needs. The yen is on the way to 150 to the dollar and unless you don't like money, keeping funds in yen is just insane.

Liverpool are brilliant!

NATO and the UN are so weak and impotent in this crisis. They are just running scared of Putrid.

Such a shame how HK has been totally destroyed by the commies. I used to visit there oftenbut never again.

Nobody should keep any money, apart from everyday needs, in the poison yen. You would have to be insane to keep anything in the rapidly depreciating yen. 150 yen to the dollar is said to be reached in the near term.

For several years I have kept all my money in swiss francs and dollars. And I’m really glad about that!

Everybody get out of yen now, before it gets any worse.

And this is why, I don't have my savings in YEN.

I convert my salary right away and just have enough to pay my bills.

Don't hold YEN it's going to collapse.

Yes, I quite agree. For a long time now I have kept all my money in Swiss Francs and Dollars. The Yen is poisonous and now is in free fall. 121 to the dollar right now and dropping rapidly. Nobody should be holding the poisonous yen now apart from everyday needs.

With biden as "president" china has no fears of moving against Taiwan. They will for sure attack Taiwan before Trump is back as president in 2024.

At the beginning of December last year, I was beginning to think the Corona Virus thing was all over.....

Just sick in the head. Why do these “men” think that females have even the slightest interest in seeing their equipment? They just don’t.

Imagine if it were your wife/daughter/sister/ girlfriend being filmed? This "person" wouldn't get out of there alive.....

Cathay Pacific is in real trouble now. Nobody want to go to Hongkong China anymore.
