Japan has zoning laws. There is an actual web-site that shows maps and the zones for each region. Same for crime statistics.

I know because I checked them before buying my apartment.

Sorry, made a mistake in the conversion of my watch. 100m/10bar not 30m.

Not saying the G-Shock is not a good watch, just that it has no new super-duper features. To me looks like a lot of advertisement hype.

Personally I prefer my watch as it is analog and not…

Self defense is a guy hitting you out…

Actually Japan sees BOTH parties as guilty, considering that 98% of situations are fights and not self-defense. Big legal difference.

Fresh Water and Food.

Look at the palestine/israel region and check where the water is coming from. Who controls the water-supply will control the region.
