They are the first in the world ? My grand-dad always had some of the same shade. My neighbour even got some that were really marine blue.

The only novelty is they produce them industrially, as before they had to graft each rose tree one by one... or is it…

I don't think the law in Japan protects anybody (celeb or not) against the paparazzi and other stalkers.

"Has anyone ever noticed that the Japanese women have particularly nice skin?"

No. Some do, many more don't. They have to wear make up all the time to cover the black spots they get at a surprisingly young age (in some cases from their early 20's, while in my country,…

And that will be served hot with bits of mochi in it ? Hey, I have an idea : mochi-favored marshmallow ! That's not as if anything could make pepsi worse.

I have seen miso soup in cans. It's earthquakes food for peeps that don't want bread in cans.

***They certainly had many chances to arrest him before, so why now?

Have you ever been to Swiss ? I went there from France hundreds of time, I just passed the border in a car, on a bicycle or walking, nobody asked me anything. In years, they checked my identity…

@WMD, that makes what if you are stronger ? I mean I am able to kill one of those pervs, or even just break them a limb. But in a packed train, I can't move without hurting other people. Even if it is the guy I actually hurt, I would…

Double standards. If the man was an ordinary Japanese guy, and let's say the wife had taken the kids from Aomori to Fukuoka, I think the police would have never moved and would tell them to arrange their "family matters" themselves. I don't say it's a solution, but the difference…

20 yrs ago, all the daigakusei had a 100 000 yen Louis Vuitton bag... like my grand-aunt. They looked stupidly kitsch (not you Auntie). Now, they all have a few 20 000 yen Coach bags. Big difference.

Well, she calls that "thinking", I call it "shopping".
