These public secretaries are on 10 million a year! Sugiura looks like he will be turfed out by the LDP, they got their mileage out of him. Young and genki doesn't fit in with the LDP image of old and corrupt

I checked the odds on sportsbet before the games. he Cubans were favourites, followed by USA. Japan was 8-1. Korea was 40-1. The money was not on Japan in the first place. TO think otherwise was unrealistic

My kids go to Japanese schools, Primary, JHS and HS. I have no complaints. Of course it is not perfect, and you can luck out on a teacher. I find if you get a good home room teacher, and a good vice-principal (principal is just for show - the VP…

New Zealand are a bunch of chokers when it comes to the world cup. Japan should have got the 2011 WC, because they would have been a better host than NZ.
