    with the victim a willing participant. Enjoy the spoils.lol.

    You're not serious, right? You think someone would be willing to be knocked down by a car for a share of a whole 190,000 yen? I very much doubt it.

    Good grief, the boy had the bag strap around his neck?

    If you have ever carried a bag with the shoulder strap diagonally across your body, you also had the strap around your neck. Not so unusual really.

    black hair, check, black suit, check, black tie, check, black shoes, check, black briefcase, check, black socks, check, hands on lap check, has a watch on, check....

    If he was coming from a funeral, maybe. That's the only place Japanese men usually wear black ties. It's more likely to be blue.

    There wasn't a "three-day worldwide shutdown" of flights after September 11- I flew from Amsterdam to London on the morning of the 13th, and my flight was just delayed a couple of hours.

    Can we steer clear of tarring all Japanese mothers with the same brush, please? It is totally untrue and very offensive.

    namaman, while I am a climate change believer, I think that a lot of people are much too quick to ascribe every single blip in the weather to climate change, and it only provides fuel to the skeptics. Extremes of weather every 40 or 50 years are only to be expected, and cannot be considered a pattern. I fail to see how an unusually late snowfall in one year (last winter was warm and it barely snowed at all in Tokyo) can have anything to do with climate change. By definition climate change means a consistent pattern of change, which we are not seeing with this one cold spring.

    It snowed in west Tokyo as well last night- still some on the ground. Yesterday was the coldest April day in 50 years, but if it happened 50 years ago, we can't put it down to climate change this time. There has always been extreme weather from time to time.

    There's a "yoi fufu no hi" as well? November 22nd is "ii fufu no hi" (11/22)- they are really getting a bit carried away with this kind of thing.

    I am happy to see that some Japanese people finally have to balls to come out and express their true feelings.

    What do you mean, "finally"? This isn't a new thing, these guys have been at this for decades. And as for disrupting business, I don't stay long in a shop or restaurant if a loudspeaker is blaring a distorted speech or martial music outside the door, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If that isn't disruption of business, I don't know what is.

    Is being a jet setter a bad thing? You don't like people who travel?

    What?! Only the deputy director of the kindergarten? For the likely future emperor of Japan?

    This isn't actually a good photo of her, the red lipstick doesn't suit her. She doesn't look that old in other photos. She probably looks Colombian because her father is Argentinian, so there is a Latin look about her. She is I think my husband's ideal girl looks-wise (after me of course...or maybe not!).

    where the hell would grandma be at 8am in the morning

    Given the age of the father (22 and 3 kids already?!), it's quite likely that "Grandma" is only in her 40s and had to go to work or be elsewhere by 8am. Just because someone is a grandmother does not mean she is a little old lady with a cane who sits in a rocking chair all day.

    Life must get pretty boring in Japan as a housewife/obaasan/widow.

    I disagree- I don't think there is a country in the world that offers so many things to do for housewives and older people. Everything from African dancing classes to ikebana to kickboxing, hot spring and fruit picking trips, and now cheerleading. The gyms and culture centres I have been to are always full of older women, and they didn't look bored at all.

    kids and water don't mix.

    huh? That's an odd thing to say. I spent half my childhood at the beach, learned to snorkel at 5, bodyboard at 6 and waterski at 9, and am here to tell the tale. Kids and water go perfectly well together provided there is supervision and a certain amount of luck. Would you have all children stay away from water at all times?

    My husband's last cellphone had a 7 megapixel Exilim camera built into it, and he got that several years ago. Those of you who think that cellphone photos are poor quality need to go and look at what's on the market now.

    herefornow- I'm not sure why your friend walks that slow, but we go to Yoyogi for hanami every year and it takes 10 minutes at the most to get to the entrance, even when it's at its most crowded, like this Saturday just gone. There is a bit of a bottleneck at the corner, but it certainly doesn't take an hour to cover that 200m distance, and once you get inside the park the crowds spread out and it's just like hanami anywhere else, including Kudanshita.

    bamboohat, it would seem most likely that they are sending photos by cellphone email- maybe you consider that to be sophisticated, but most people under the age of 70 don't any more. I'm fairly sure it would be within the capabilities of the police here, no matter what your opinion of them.
