Parental supervision?

I'd like to share what I saw on the train last Sunday night. I assume it's a family of 4, one early teen girl and a younger boy. The person I assume to be the father gets along pretty well with the kids, while the person I assume…

Apparently she does her own hair. She apparently has a picture unbraided in Wikipedia. And yes, she'll be 49 this year.

"Flammable liquid on board?" That's a strange remark. Planes need fuel. And fuel, incidentally, is a flammable liquid. I don't know about FedEx (can't find any info on their website) but EMS and Japanese Postal Mail do not allow the shipping of flammable liquids.

May the pilots rest in peace.

They should put up bins in electronics shops or shopping centers that will collect those unused/unwanted phones. They have these in the Philippines. It makes a good scene for a movie too.

I guess soon they would be asking, "who were those masked men?"

And the idiom "don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind. But it is probable that someone knew what he was carrying, or at least who he is and where he works. He would be…

I somewhat agree with skipthesong. If the "morals" of the media didn't degrade, there wouldn't be such a rise in teen pregnancies. Now it may be necessary to teach sex ed at a younger age, but 5 is a little too young. No earlier than 7 may be better.

Is this the same thing I saw on NHK? It was a cup of noodles with "CO OP" as the brand. Haven't seen anything like it yet in Yokohama. And I ate a Cup Noodle just 2 days ago, nothing unusual happened...

Up to 5 years in prison and a fine for "illegally accessing someone's account" just to delete their character? That's a bit over the top isn't it?
