It is all commercialism and propaganda. The chocolate companies did a great job on promoting such a practice. Now that it has become a custom, they can sit back and watch the chocolate sales skyrocket on Valentines and White Days. The chocolate company owners are laughing their way to the bank. Cha-ching!

Have we become too lazy to write even just a few words/characters? What's next -- pre-recorded messages so we don't have to open our mouths to say Hello, Thank you, or I'm sorry?

I don't think I can sit back and relax in something this expensive. I'll be worrying about how I will be able to pay the credit card I used to pay for it.

Is this a joke? Check out the link given above http://article.japanican.com/en/articles/japanicanspecialyen_buster.html and you'll see rates for one person based on double occupancy. This means the rates are at least twice of what you see in the website. These rates are not a bargain at all!

“This is one of the in-flight service comforts that we are introducing on a trial basis for our customers.”
Bad move for Malaysian Airlines. Comfort for whom? It sounds more like discomfort and annoyance to me. Passengers deserve peace and quiet. Who wants to sit next to a person talking on a cell phone? I hope there will be designated "Cell Phones Allowed" seats in a particular area of the plane.

I hope the authorities investigate this thoroughly before dismissing it as a case of suicide. While a neck wound may be easily fatal, such is not the case for a self-inflicted wrist wound. Committing suicide by cutting the wrist is like trying to kill oneself by holding one's breath.

The news did not mention why the son axed his father. It is true that the son committed a crime regardless of the reason, but first ask why he did it before you condemn him. Perhaps the father abused him? Perhaps the father beats the mother and the son had enough of it?

Why not divide the park into two and have each company manage their respective areas of the park? Competition between the two will result in improvements and the people will benefit from it.

“An artificial heart is an interesting idea, but we should focus on the established treatments we already have,” Swedberg said.
I think we should focus on preventing heart disease to begin with! Eat healthy, exercise, and don't smoke!

If the name Iwo Jima has already been changed to Iwo To, why did the news item still use the old name? A better statement would have been:
... collapsed while visiting a wartime tunnel on Iwo To, previously known as Iwo Jima, and later died, ....

Was he wearing a life vest? There are some snorkelers who don't think they need to wear one because they get over confident in their ability to swim. I hope readers learn from this sad incident -- wear a life vest!

I don't think JAL was at fault here. It was Northwest's computer glitch that resulted in the collection of the surcharges. If it wasn't caught, would Northwest have refunded the money?

I have not seen any of his shows but I think it is a great tool for learning a foreign language. I wish there was similar show for English speaking kids who are studying Japanese.

OK, what's the fine print on the new and seemingly beneficial change? 99.9% of the time, these "improvements" make it more difficult for frequent fliers to get a free flight. I guess I'll check frequentflier.com for more information.
