Yeah, it is amazingly clean and orderly for such a big city, isn't it?

Shouldn't increasing population gives a boost to real estate prices in Tokyo (at some point), or are there just unending supplies?

Unless ex is abusive to the child(ren), I despise people who strip ex of visitation right. That is abhorrently selfish, period. Don't people have the decency to feel for others? You cannot make it as couple shouldn't translate into getting at each other's throat at every opportunity.

Is Cuba threatening to invade the U.S.? So you don't think the U.S. will be upset if someone send "defensive" weapons to Cuba? And why then, even when the U.S. and Cuba have no intention of invading one another?

China's reaction is not so hard to understand if one steps out of the U.S.-centric perspective and look at matters from other countries' viewpoints, be it a communist country or otherwise. All I am saying is that China's reaction is sensible and not over-reaction. Any other country in similar situation will posture in similar ways. It was but the only way for China (or any other country in similar situation) to respond.

I don't think you can compare that realtionship to China and Taiwan, since there is alot of trade and economic ties between China and Taiwan, with the former "claiming" the latter and threatening it with invasion. The US doesn't have much of an economic relationship with Cuba and certainly isn't claiming it or threatening to invade it.

To be fair, how would U.S. response if China sells "defensive" arms to Cuba? Sure - U.S. is a righteous country and hence should not be subject to the barbaric act of encirclement.

or check whether it is connected to the window supplier.
