I've given up nudging my wife to vote - when she does the candidate she votes for is very arbitary like Mr Liddell's wife

Molenir beat me to my line!
They've got to make targets achievable so I say start off small and get that then set a new target.
As usaexpat says - not a great argument this one. But having said that I saw more solar panels in 4 days in Dalian than I've seen over 8 years in Japan

they develop at different paces - my boy was running by 11 months and climbing all over the place. Needless to say he was not left alone in the house - ever.
So sad but I hope other parents learn from this - it should be hideline stories on the TV and newspapers to help others

you obviously don't drive here - they have not heard of that. Leave a space and several cars will just slip in there. Pointless!
And yes blinkers must be optional extras here as no-one seems to use them.
Don't even get me started on the shaken - what is that all about? In the UK you put your car in for a service and MOT and they do what has to be doneto get it through. Last week after my car's shaken I asked the mechanic 'so what about the tyres?' to paraphrase not safe you must get new ones but not to worry it's not part of the shaken inspection - WHAT!!! The primary safety point on a car is not part of the shaken inspection...

within the yamanote line where can you park a bicycle?
And as others say lack of showers is a definite problem.
In the winter I commuted to a language school - 50 minutes by public transport then I bought a bike - 25 minutes :-)

tens of thousands die each year from seasonal flu. Actually I believe the fatality rate so far is less than normal flu and it is reported that symptoms in previously fit people are quite slight compared to what was going round in Feb/March.
My sons school only want to know if a fever is above 38 and a lot of the articles suggest people have it with fevers of less than 38.
Outside of Mexico most fatalities have come from people with underlying chronic illnesses.
At the moment the problem with this strain is how easily it is passed on and for sure it will be in Kanto soon.

Generally the symptoms are weaker than normal seasonal flu and of those that have died outside Mexico they have had some underlying chronic illness and swine flu was just the last straw...

what about the delays - when I used to go through the foreign passport queue it used to take anywhere from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours - the latter after a plane load of high school students from South America got in just before me, man was that chaos!!!!
No problem for me though - I take the car. Airport parking at Narita is so cheap and convenient.
