Ah, the old spare key trick. I dunno about in Japan, but in Oz the landlords are required by law to change the locks between tennants. Fair enough this was a company sponsored aparto, but still, you have to wonder who has keys to your apartment if the locks have…

but this data has not been made public.

Um, until now, that is. This should not be surprising at all. The Japanese are famous for coverups and telling fibs to the public. There was the Minamata situation 40 odd years ago and most recently their covered up plan to use…

Police said the two vehicles were traveling in opposite directions

Hence, a head on collision. Oh, der!?! So, where is the money going on the cause? Texting while driving? reading a newspaper? sleeping? speeding?

Japanese political leaders and experts worry that the problem—if handled poorly—could damage ties between the two nations.

IF??? How about, 'has been handled poorly' and, 'has damaged ties'?

Thank gawd for cable TV! I refuse to let my kids watch Japanese TV. Japanese TV brings true meaning to the term 'idiot box'. The only Jp TV programs I have seen that contain the slightest adult content are science programs made for junior high kids. However, one program I…
