sunhawk, exactly my thoughts. This whole thing about liviing in the city is pure pride. Brag to everybody how well you are doing at the office and let everybody see it, especially your neighbors. You don't need an I-phone and a BMW in the countryside. You don't need to buy all those things on credit and cause credit crunches worldwide. If everybody wants a piece of a cake, then there aren't enough pieces for everybody and one must take cuts. That's what is happening at the job market. People have to learn how to restrain themselves again to make a better world. People have forgotten how life was after/during WW2. Eat healthy meals at home and save millions in medical costs.

I hope that in the future more stores will offer custom made shoes. Shibuya is a long way from my home. Wearing the blue-red-blue striped Adidas sneakers was the cult of my youth, I even nailed them on the wall when they no longer fitted me. Adidas is synonym with joyful youth to me. Please make my baba age the same.

Completely agree with Steve. Those who think that women should work, shame on you. It has always been the man's responsibility to provide for the family. The change where women are supposed to work came only about 40 years ago, compare that to the thousands of year before when it wasn't that way. Families are heathier and happier with the woman staying at home. Save on the useless gadgets and buy some food. Nobody has it that bad here in Japan that they have to go hungry.

Considering that the country was almost bankrupt last week, I wonder why the rating agency gave it an AA+. Shouldn't that have been a C-?
On the other hand, what do the rating agencies benefit from by overthrowing whole states into bankruptcy? They can not really win in this game, the consequences are incalculable.

I catch the fish myself, bake my bread, grow my own veggies and only eat out maybe twice a month, problem solved. I did my part.

Love his cms too. My neighbor, being of Ainu ancestry, is a spitting image of him. BOSS should get him to do a CM with Tommy.

Zenny, you just made my day. I lost my appetite for anything. I would have screamed like hell if that would have happened to me.

Compared to the carefree consumption of food in Japan we once had, this article seems pretty ridiculuous.

I recommend you to take a trip to Huelva in the south of Spain. The once beautiful, pristine Med coast with no building boom is now full of propellors. Not a very nice sight. Plus, I noticed that way too many didn't even work. It is now the second biggest windfarm in Europe, employing 50 people which is really cheap in paying salaries, you are right about that partial part. Sure, a nuclear power station doesn't look beautiful either but at least the size is much smaller.
In the beautiful, golden wheat fields, down the road from me, Mr. Son is now planning on building a solar park - another beautiful sight, sigh...

After all the shocking anti-Islam actions of that Norwegian guy which the whole world condemns, I have problems understanding why a whole country can get away them. Just let those people wear what they like.

I wonder if that law is also there in 30 years when I get bone cancer. More details would be appreciated.

I think that the Norwegian government should fulfill his request by allowing him to receive treatment from a Japanese psychiatrist in a Japanese prison far away from his cozy Norwegian prison cell.

Very beautiful our planet blue. I don't support zoos or aquariums generally but I rather see jellyfish there than in the sea.

He will just get some pills from the Japanese doctor and asked to look at beautiful flowers every day and on to the next patient.
