"Bullet trains slice through its heart while subways dissect its underbelly." Technically speaking, bullet trains don't slice through the heart of Tokyo, they just run from Ueno-Tokyo or Tokyo-Shinagawa before dissapearing into Kanagawa, lol but thats technical stuff.

I liked that story about the bag.

Rare to see women taxi…

Those 100-500yen Umbellas break easily. I remember I bought one once, walked out the store, a light gust came in and the dang thing broke inside out. If you're in Japan for a while, its good to invest in a good umbrella, doesn't have to be super expensive, my current…

How many murders are unsolved, how many bad guys are still lose on the streets in London? I'm just saying, even with good law enforcement criminals still get away. If a foreigner was killed in London, yes media attention will be on it for a while, but after a while…

Honestly do many of you stare at people a lot, I mean I ride trains, walk on the street, I really don't pay attention to other people(if its not a nice looking lady). It is pretty easy to hide yourself, grow a beard, mustache, change your hair color or style,…

JT needs to ask better questions, like "Whats your stance on surrogate births and immigration status of the child". If I recall there was a case last year or something on that matter?

"found at a train station" headline, article, found "near", being at and being near are two different things. I think the coin lockers found at train stations are checked more often (eg after one or two days), some that are inside the gates I think are checked everynight, not sure,…

Even in the electronic age that was supposed to eliminate paper, what do we have more of in the office? Paper! Copiers, fax machines, printers etc.

yuki I bet you a million more then likely everyone including the hotel staff and rescue people thought it was one of those detergent suicides that was all over the news a few months ago, so they were probably just doing a quick search to see if no one was…

Considering the article is most likely a translated one, it could of meant attempt to "detain" a person until police arrive. Or it could of possibly meant "citizens arrest". For example, I know train station staff sometime detain/hold someone (eg a fare evader or whatever) until the police arrive. Technically…
