It's not just a Japanese thing; most of my girl friends from different nationalities (PRCs, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Filipinos etc.) do take photos of their food as well. I usually just shrug and gobble my food before they try to snap photos of MY food. LOL

Studied in Melbourne for 3 years. Loved the place to bits; including its erratic weather.

Did you even bother reading the article? "The girl’s father Takayuki, 22, and his second son, 4, suffered from smoke inhalation and are in a serious condition in hospital..." If the father had been away from the house, then how would he and his second son suffer from smoke inhalation?

Well, I share the same phone with a newbie. Whenever the phone rings, she never answers it. When I pass her calls to her, she always asked who is on the line which really pissed me off. She expects me to know who and for what purpose the other person is calling.

It is undeniable that the younger generation has stopped caring for their elderly parents who once wholeheartedly sacrificed a lot to raise them. Most people think of old people as burden nowadays and they think it is too much trouble to take care of a frail, sickly old person. Funny thing is, you hardly hear parents complain about how troublesome their children were when they raised them. How ironic. Children who abandoned their parents will one day grow old and get abandoned by their future kids as well. There is always something called karma.

Thanks to global warming, I guess.

Leaving a baby in the car is dangerous. Even if it's not abduction, the baby can die of carbon monoxide inhalation if the air conditioner was left running.

Well, that was the problem which Singapore was facing. That's why they brought in foreigners into their country to encourage consumption and keep the economy grow.

A pretty smart kid. Glad that she's okay. The mother should be punished though. I've seen various parents (not in Japan) leaving their children to follow from behind all the time. This makes me wonder; what if someone just come along and grab the child from behind? I feel that most parents nowadays really do lack supervision skills.

Well, he had a weapon. They could've just shot him instead since the guy is a sicko anyway.

Kill for a remote and now he has to live in prison without even getting one. What's the point? Moron.

I love the Liar Game manga but somehow I didn't like Matsuda's potrayal of Akiyama Shinichi. Nothing against Matsuda, he's one of my current favourite actors.

Seems like the number of paedophiles is growing. Those agencies think that by not making these young girls strip, they are creating a "gray" area which finds its way round the law. However, it's obvious that the "motive" behind these photobooks and DVDs are meant for sexual arousal or fantasies. The young girls may simply think it's normal to engage in such activities as it can probably earn them a good LV or Gucci bag as compared to ordinary part time jobs. The consequence is; when materialism surpasses morality, they'll act in AVs when they reach legal age. Hence, what they are doing right now is like pre-AVs preps. No wonder the AV industry is booming more than ever.

From the description in the article above, I assumed Koshi should be 'large' enough to be made a requirement to be audited. So, shouldn't the extravagant entertainment expenses be detected as leading to some fishy business? Or did the auditors do their job in soaplands as well?
