TheguyNextdoor--technically, it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Technically, one is supposed to ride on the street, on the far left, with the flow of traffic. Is that safe? No, of course not. . because so few cyclists and even fewer drivers know or care about the…

HA! I cannot in any way feel sorry for these guys. Up until this year, I have received a bonus of 1/3 of my monthly salary. Not twice a year, not a christmas bonus, not a summer bonus. . but a "end of the fiscal year" bonus. And from next…

I liked the campaign, but that might be just cos I thought it was funny. I can imagine the translation difficulties on that, though. . .

Sarge--Maybe his school started natsu yasumi already?

On a serious note, I do not envision the kid driving the bus. I think that would have been mentioned in the article, since it would be no small task. As for the passengers. . who knows? Maybe it was 10 rather frail…
