JAPAN NEWS AND DISCUSSION
-
Daily life in Japan is punctuated by mind-boggling encounters with gross inattention to or tolerance of clearly excessive, unnecessary, easily reducible costs that are, in any case, being incurred and must at some point be paid for.

Japanese politicians cannot decide on anything. Without an overhaul of the way the nation’s government is structured, Japan will sink within three to five years.

Who wants to be the first judge to order a crying child to be taken away from a crying Japanese mother and sent overseas? Nobody. When we talk about family law in Japan today, there really isn't any.

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.
