I think Moe is a good role-model for Japanese people. A whole lot more than what I can say for some western models...

this photo makes her look smooth and what, but I saw her on TV recently, and she looked as old as my mum ( turning 60 this year )- wouldnt surprise me if she hasnt had surgery and has just got some good make-up. She is a beautiful woman, and her wrinkles look great :)

Japan today is a Japanese website so if locations are outside of Japan, I think is appropriate that you mention the COUNTRY.

RMs - My mum talked to my sister and I about 'stuff' and I had books at home like 'Where did I come from?', 'What's happening to me?', 'Everygirl'... so that those questions we didnt feel comfortable asking or talking about with her, we could read up about by ourselves... What happens here?? Just asked hubby... parents didnt talk to him about anything to do with puberty and sex. He learnt everything from the schoolyard... FRIGHTENING!!

Some Japanese friends of mine said that they dont ask guys to wear condoms - whereas friends from home demand it! And some carry their own. I think Japanese need more education on PERSONAL HEALTH - A Japanese friend of mine thought that girls pee from their vagina - she had no idea but was a very 'itelligent' private university student. made me worry lots...

It wasnt a sand pit. It was firm sand under horizontal bars in the elementary school playground. They dug a big hole - wide enough for a few kids to sit in and the 'mates' covered them in sand... I hope the boy recovers.

I watched the program when he 'met' Obama and it ACTUALLY went like this;
Obama was shaking hands with random people in the crowd...
Nocchi said; 'I'm Obama'
Obama giggled and said, 'oh, you're Obama!' like he was repeating him.
Obama's reaction was all smiles, but he certainly didnt point this guy out in the crowd and say 'You're Obama!'.
This was on TV just this week...
