Hamasaki ? Oh my ! I'd want to have surgery if I had the bad luck to look like her naturally. When the child will be adult, nobody will even remember that talento, but a young woman be left with that weird artificial face, and regrets of her natural looks.…

Didn't they forget laser treatments to remove the "shimi" and all those bleaching lotions ? I am not making fun of the Japanese ladies' skin. Each type of skin comes with its own problems.

Japanese and international skin doctors.

They all say to stay out of sunshine and eat a…

I don't believe the story.

Maybe that man killed them, maybe another person did, but not for that fairy tale. Even if he was a lunatic, he didn't need to wait 34 years...

From the start, that looked like a mafia murder. The weird way to explain it confirms the…

I have friends from Europe that retired in Thailand, part of the year, they keep a house in their country. They are not into sex tourism : they go there in couple and with grand-children 3 months a year. They mostly appreciate beaches and hot weather at prices very affordable…

obama's election proves that the U.S. as a nation is far more advanced than its europeon counterparts in regards to race relations

Is it ? Obama's mother was American, I don't even understand why you are all obsessed with him being of such or such race. Sarkozy's parents have both…

Very simple. Too simple : a few familial leisure resort places with Chinese speaking staff.

Most tourists are Chinese, it's an increasing trend. They are not passionated with Japanese culture (want to to see a little of it), not impressed with eikaiwa people trying their Engrish on them. They come…

I don't see any common point between the Golden Horse jury and the free artistic festivals like in Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Sundance, etc.

The Golden Horse started as a pure propaganda instrument, giving awards to pro-Taiwan cinema artists. They are demonstrating they have hardly changed. What is their aim here…

Sport, you said : "Do not avoid these places. You can still appreciate art without reading captions. "

I can read the caption, I still find most Japanese museums and exhibition are substandard. Same level as in Chinese countryside. Ok there are differences. Tourist services in Nara make 100 times…
