Otaru, WillB explained it perfectly. I7m not against the japan expo itself but the way most of the people going there sees Japan. I was even said "Oh! You live in the country of "one piece" (name of a manga)! So lucky!" This kind of things were funny the first…

What is worse is that people at the expo will enjoy! When I was still living in France, I've met a lot of so-called "japanophiles" ... they think in japan you only listen to j-pop, maid or lolitas are common and anime a religion ... Those people will go out…

Fortunately the guy came to confess. Who knows if the mother wouldn't have decided to continue with other men, seeing how much easy it was to make some money this way.

This is sad for the family but what did they expect? If you don't want to be punished, don't commit a crime. Ok, they wanted to escape poverty etc ... I would have probably done the same but then, you can't complain if you're caught, you knew the rules before…

888naff ... seems you haven't read the previous posts ^_^.

I was thinking that if the countryside is that dirty, that might be a good thing to take that in picture and create a website to expose it, with the name of the place and the date. Japanese might feel…

Sorry, I could have reduced the link to https://www.irexshop.com ^_^; They sell different types of model and they look nice.

I think we are living in Japan, so we should speak japanese. I am more fluent in english than japanese but I'm coming to it slowly.
