People complain about pizza...much of the cost is delivery. In Nagoya we have a place named Mama Maria. The pizza are 1/2 price if you pick them up. Got 3 large, very delicious pizzas a few nights ago for less than 3,000 yen!
As for education, you pay now or you pay later where higher education is concerned. And in the States the fees for university education are not cheap either.

Wow! I didn't know they put prisons in residential areas! It is also unbelievable how trusting the J-cops are....I mean, this guy has tried to escape once, it makes sense to watch over him in case he gets the urge again.

Saw an old man driving down the road the other day...must have had a foot on the brake AND the accelerator because his brake lights were constantly on.
In these cases, the old people should have to renew EVERY year with a driving test in a simulator with different situations to simulate real life driving situations.

This is a scary and sad story. Kids that can carry guns, real or not, to school and law enforcement using deadly force on kids. In the end, everyone looses; the kid, the kid's family, and those police that had to take such measures. Additionally, the school and it's students will carry a heavy sadness...no school wants to have something like this happen.

How does this entice anyone to shop? Who is the target? I thought Japanese women like to shop more than their male counterparts...
My guess is that some genius male marketing guru thought this up, certainly not a women.
