SAITAMA again. It definately has to be the air or the water there that produces people like this.

Welcome to Saitama

Looking through the stories of the crime section on JT, sure I see a fair few from Saitama. But I also see a lot from Chiba, Kanagawa, Aichi etc.…

I feel for the girl, but it's her parents' fault. They've shown nothing but disregard for Japan's laws ever since they arrived with passports that weren't their own. They're damned lucky they aren't being punished more severely. They should be grateful they're only getting deported.

I despise Facebook because I'm addicted to it. I work freelance from home but spend hours on FB insead of working, resulting in a huge amount of lost income. I'm thinking about suing them. They don't tell you you can get hooked when you sign up.

Why does the Japanese media report suicides? I don't know of any other country in the world where you get straightforward suicides reported on national websites, TV stations, etc. It's just not news.

Some of the newer ones aren't bad. I'd been drinking Suntory RICH MALT (kind of an ironic name) for a while and thought it was OK. And if you drink two cans every evening like I do, you save a lot of money. But I stopped buying it when I…
