  Congratulations to all who wish to take Disney up on the offer. And in a nice twist on generally socially conservative Japan, they've certainly outpaced a number of far more 'liberal' states in this respect, although am I right in assuming that same sex marriage is not legally binding in Japan?

  Sakurala - good luck, I feel your pain. Summer here gives me nightmares

  I think too that the 'staring threshold' in Japan is a lot lower than it is OS, at least in my country. What I mean is that a little bit seems to go a long way here, probably because it's a lot less common. AND - cleavage aside, you can be wearing the baggiest of turtlenecks and still be stared at. It isn't always about covering up, being physically different is simply sometimes enough to attract attention.

  We should hope that the increase in the reported number of cases comes from more people utilising their right to protection under the law, but cases like this could send the rate dropping again if all of those pesky "more important cases" take precedence. Grrrrr.....

  An NPA spokesman said they want to rethink their strategy in dealing with such crimes, after the report found that four of the eight most serious incidents involved victims who had come forward to the police for help, TBS reported. The report also found that, although some cases involved those who came to the police for help, a number of cases involved victims who had ignored suggestions from authorities.

  Also, and sorry for being a bit cranky, but doesn't the above just sound like victim blaming?

  I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the chocolate here! I'm also happy that we can get Cadbury's here, and being Australian, I'm super happy that it's ours (sorry)! Can get fruit and nut bars at our local super. Yay!
