What is so difficult in running, that merely organizing makes her exhausted?
Maybe she should start with the 101:
-put on shoes and running suit
-start the timer
-run
-arrive
-stop the timer
-take a shower
-change clothes
-drive home.

Who is "we"? I am from Germany, and I don't care so much about "Halloween". However, my little boy likes it very much - same like many other Japanese children at his age in Kindergarten. So my (japanese) wife will arrange with other Japanese parents that their children can play together and make a halloween party at home.
The point is, "Kabotcha" (Pumpkin) is famous in Japan.

How can 4000 cars a month add up to one million cars in one Year until 2009? Or does it mean 50000 cars in one year in Japan as 5% and 95% abroad? Something is wrong with the numbers or the reporting.

"A person has died here". Yes, but this person did not die by accident, but by his own decision. And from the article I conclude that he decided by pressure from outside, which in this case is equal to bullying. And I was wondering, if part of his suffering can be related to his family name.
It may sound like a joke, but it is more serious. Actually I have a family name, where I was exposed to many "jokes" while I was at primary and junior high school. Also because some teachers had problems with how to read or write correctly. My family name is not that difficult (just 7 letters), but it is not very common and therefore many people don't know how to write it correctly, when hearing it first time. When in my home country, I may even use some of the jokes to explain the correct way of writing.

With his name "Dykes" it is understandable that he can suffer problems from bullying at school. Just listen to Bobby Brown from Frank Zappa, which will give a clue.
