  t's always interesting to watch the hypocrisy of protectionism. A and B country have the right to control exports and imports, but when it's something A and B desperately need, C country has no rights to do the same thing.... or so A and B think.

  The beauty of a Ferrari cannot be seen on the roads in Japan, which makes them useless expensive things unless you can access to a circuit.

  **or **fined a maximum 100,000 yen, if

  Yaaap, I guess if you have a ferrari 100,000 yen is spare change.

  I wonder if it would be possible to know where the ingredients from manufactured food come from. It is feasible to control were the vegetables you buy are from, but how do you know where did the big company bought the meat for that gyoza at the supermarket? Where Does the konbini onigiri rice comes from?

  Is there some way to know where the factories are located? Do people ask them about what ingredients do they use? Are the companies willing to cooperate?

  Is the answer NO, as usual?

  I hope Hulu gets better in Japan. It's a good idea and nice to have subtitles in japanese, but tried it for a month and they only had bad 90s films on the catalog.

  It's probably aimed to these housewives and obachans that spend the whole winter with the aircon switched on, the hot carpet at max while sitting into their kotatsu. That's a lot of watts-

  I have that feeling that people in prisons in Japan just disappear from society.

  Precisely, we are talking about Japan, one of the few countries where a chairman can do stuff like that without anyone saying a word

  How cute, he is a real man and a hero for Japan! He also seems to be impersonated as a XXI century thinker, odd when not even in 2011 you see men like that over here, not to mention in the army.

  He should say, -OK, we are SORRY about that-, and make it clear. Using the usual ambiguity, we never know if he is sorry or sad that Japan didn't win the war, or want to hide what Japan did.

  There is a lot of people with too much money in this country.. How much you have to have in the bank to afford a Ferrari? That group of people will probably find the accident funny, and talk about it with laughs in the bonenkai this year.
