    Back in the Bubble Economy, when national and local governments were awash in cash, they spent most of it on tourist attractions that have since gone bankrupt or been sold off. Now they need to upgrade their emergency systems and they have no money.

    If the J-Alert system worked 100%…

    Maybe all this "We Japanese live together until we marry" thing has its limits. But surely a 34-year-old woman, even one who has gone through the Japanese education system, can figure out how to ignore her father. If living together, move out; if not living together, don't answer the phone/door.…

    One elementary school had a student come to school and head straight for the nurse's office; didn't even bother going to class. The solution came from the most intelligent person at the school: the janitor. He gave the kid a job helping clean the school and school grounds. The kid…
