    Six jets from the Blue Impulse team (based in Matsushima) will put on a show above the festival from 2pm on June 1. Oh yeah.

    This is my biggest fear!

    What, making decisions and statements based in fact and figures?

    If it's an issue of pop culture manga they can decide in a few minutes, if it's in the nation's best interest, it takes panels and a few years.

    Makes sense to me. Global economics is not a cartoon.

    Here was a chance to get some concessions from the Japan to at least stop whaling. This was a missed opportunity for the world.

    You might be overestimating the importance of that issue to the world.

    holds breath wait... nevermind exhales...What drama queens on this issue is Japan.Procrastinating as usual.Just do it and done I say....Wow... talking about making a decision. What country is this?...Like anything here, they hold a meeting to discuss the planning of a committee to plan a committee...and so on...and so forth.

    WASHINGTON - Eleven countries negotiating a proposed free trade agreement in the Asia-Pacific appear to be on the verge of formally inviting Japan into the talks, diplomatic and industry sources say.

    I could be wrong but I do not see any advantage in japan joining TPP.

    Don't worry. The government has gone ahead and done the calculations already.

    Why not interview people on the street rather than hit them up after a flight? Oh right, tourist answers are much more interesting than those who speak Japanese, pay taxes and don't gasp and ah over the "polite" locals.

    I saw a number of people interviewed/followed up on that were already in Japan (and smiling) and at the airport to pick up family/friends.

    I saw this show a couple of times earlier this year, was on Wed nights at 11.58pm but has obviously been bumped up to prime time and for good reason - it's quite interesting/funny. They speak to all kinds of people at the airport and follow up on those who are happy/keen to.

    "...many said they would like to continue living in the building to maintain ties..."

    And so forth.

    the old ones don't have the money to move on

    They don't need money to move into temporary housing. They need care, which is being provided at the facility.

    please define what they are living in

    Hey the terminology is not that important if the people use it with good intent.

    The 139 people (according to an article I found dated March 4, 2013) still living in the former Kisai High School in Saitama are the only ones left in Japan living in something called an evacuation center, or evacuation shelter, or refuge shelter, or what have you. They choose to do so, as written in the article. As can also be seen in the article some people live in apartments rented by governments.

    Many people live in newly built temporary units, which are identical and lined up and form a village in some ways. Temporary shopping villages are built using the same basic formula.

    zichi,

    Thanks for the link. I don't know if I would call them forgotten groups or otherwise label them as hard done by the government. It does say right there in the article that they are voluntarily still living in the facility to be with each other, and that there are other alternatives available including temporary housing.

    What is 'kasetsu jyuutaku' then, Daijoboots (love that name btw)? It's temporary housing.

    Yeah. Temporary housing, temporary accomodation, temporary units. All of these would be fine. But they are not houses, nor are they shelters, and so temporary houses and temporary shelters are misleading.

    I provided links on previous posts.

    I just skimmed through a month of your post history and can't find it.....if you can re-post the link(s) that would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll look for the info another time.

    The central Tokyo gov't will not be building any accommodations or homes for those who lost their properties from the disasters

    I didn't say that. But guess where the money will come from.

    The process will be very slow because some areas will no longer be used for housing because of the tsunami risks. There's not enough flat land in the mountains to move whole communities.

    I know this but it would be good for a few posters who jump and say the government is a disgrace and is doing nothing to re-read it.

    You are not correct. There are still about 200 old people from Futaba who are holed up in an old school in Saitama.

    You keep saying this and I'm gonna ask for a source please. If it is true I would be interested to know. It does not detract from the government's effort to put rooves over the heads of hundreds of thousands however.

    Are you actually trying to compare the temp houses to your apartment?

    What temp houses? Is that what you call them? And yes I am. Will be glad to leave this thing and head up to Tohoku on Wednesday.

    Good lord, you need a wake up call.

    tmarie, don't make me take you to the cleaners. I think you were quite shamed the other day on the cherry blossom plan in Fukushima thread. You don't know what you're talking about.

    YOu do get that there are many homeless because of all of this, right?

    Define homeless. Do you mean those who lost their home but are now in equipped rent-free temporary units? Do you mean those who had uninsured homes at close to sea level in an earthquake/tsunami prone region? Do you mean those who will most likely be moved to municipal apartments because that is the most land-effective/cost-effective solution to re-house them? The country does not owe anyone new homes tmarie.

    You do get that some people are indeed still living in temp shelters because they don't have temp houses

    No one is living in a temporary shelter and there is no such thing as a temporary house. Please bother to familiarise yourself with terminology before pretending to know something.

    Japan has treated this people like garbage and it is disgusting.

    Please. It's very easy to throw away comments like this isn't it. All it does is demonstrate how little you know about the nature and scale of the problem.

    that there are still allot of people living in shelters with cardboard for walls for the past 2 years now.

    Are you talking about evacuation centres? If that's the case I won't even ask for a source for your information, because I know you don't have one.

    If you're talking about temporary accomodation, did you notice how well equipped they are? Sure they might have thin walls, but so does my rabbit hutch. Boo hoo.

    Certain death. Cardboard boxes in gyms. Good god. That, is an embarassment.

    certain death would be better than a card board box in a school gym

    Just what are you talking about? Are you talking about Japan? What country are people living in cardboard boxes in school gyms? Read something and get back to me.

    What an embarrassment to the government these people are, don't they understand the world is watching

    I do hope you are watching something. Anything.

    Wow. If I read your post right, I just hope there aren't many people like with you with such a massive misunderstanding.

    I would agree that living in temporary accommodation is better than being homeless on the streets.

    Concur.
