We're bored. We have nothing to do. I don't have anything to say to my husband anymore. It's much better to come here than just sit in the house watching TV all day. We need some excitement, too.

It’s fine to go around with a Geiger counter and see if your child’s playground is radioactive, but how do you go from that to getting the laws to change so that this kind of thing can’t happen again?

The reason people aren't spending is because they are worried about the pension system and fear for their future. If we fix that, then they will be more confident to spend and that will boost the economy.

U.S. cars do not fit Japan's market or Japanese consumers' requirements because of size, high fuel consumption and higher prices. They need to have a line-up that suits Japanese consumers' preferences.

This is a great idea. There is a site in the US I've used before RentAFriend.com I don’t have many friends because I work a lot but sometimes I want to go out to a movie or restaurant and I don’t want to go by myself. I'm not interested in dating anyone, or anything more than that. I just want someone to go with me.
