Why do some Japanese English news reports use the word "koban" and not station or plolice station?

I am thinking of English classes for ladies, but it would be a comedy show with my body.

I cant see a problem with a minister encoraging the development of an education institution, can someone explain why it is?

Like other developed counties, less income and the cost of goods purchased by the young - largest market sector is falling in Japan and the items purchased are cheaper, instant gratification from games and phone apps. They dont want a car - no where to park and no time to use it, cant aford their own homes so or little or no and cheaper furniture and white goods etc, no time for hoildays so no spening at travelagents and locations, a drop in the desire to go to onsens reduces ecomic spend and dispersion of cash, clothes are cheaper thanks to UNICLO etc, less major advances in tech so less item replacement turnover, smaller homes with less space for junk, less golfers skiers etc so less equipment purchased. Not sure how pachinko and there are more and cheaper restaurants, chains.

High profile lawer in the family helped him get a lenient sentence, hopefuly the victime will get a fair amount of "sorry money".

What did the Kumbaya club expect. NATO is inefective and getting is ass kicked (by Russia) and looks like a waterd down version of a talkfest dinner club. Someone that speaks the truth and say what should be said, about time someone started speaking the truth to these political princesses.

I do hope he has some time with general population inmates to (be) reflect(ed) on his actions before his execution.

I wonder if the medical cost was less than what they saved on food and toilet paper?

Maybe there was and maybe there will be, but are they out there now? Where are they and if they are here now would I, oops they tell you, oops I mean us?

So much snot sucking noises here I thought I was on a steam train.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

picachu - ha ha!

Nothing wrong with pride in ones country.

Good luck.

Call me a pesimist, but what for?

Who buys a watch these days, not? There are not enough enthusiasts to pay the light bill, let a lone the rent in Giza. Its too late to bring back or start a watch trend again.

Good move, take Australian vessels away from whale territory monitoring.

Good point, wrong words.

Good news!

As much as it is for the greater good, its sad to see a nation being forced to conform to The Nanny State ideology. The more control people are subjected to the less they become responsible for their own actions. Japanese people on the whole seem to be responsible citizens conforming needs and desires rather than endless over regulation that has buried nations in legislation.

Probably Putin hearding the sheep back to the fold

Such a waste, seeing these people holding and taking up space that others could have used for hours and left for the next person. Its not like Hanabi where the event is only for 30 minutes.

I wonder how far this news (cough cough) will travel around the world to raise the threat to Japan.

Interesting, but what dose it mean? Will this mean there is going to be typhoons, flash flooding, high or low temperatures. What is normal mean? Please improve this article with possible consequences or predictions, many readers dont know what "normal means.

Fostering supporting industries looks like protectionism to some, but providing profit for reserch, stable employment, a way of life and growth environment for subordinate and paralel indusrieies with science and reserch is a good thing. Japan has used its skill and proffit to benifit the world while the US has developed an arms industry and bombed the "unko" out of any lesser nation with oil.

American cars are not wheel chair friendly.

Couple of old swingers chatting about conquests.

Japan helps its neighbours, so here are these peoples? More than 50,000 Korean refugees came to Japan when in need. Assimilation is difficult for many refugees, dilution of culture is not worth the risk.

Keep out of this before someone notices how sensible Japans current policy is and used by Trump.

Since the torism numbers have risen I would expect that some of the increase is from workers in the travel and tourism sector would account such as tour guides and duty free shops.
