The one thing that irritates me the most is when people put their bags on the seats. Bags go on the racks or the floor not the seats. What amazes me more is that the train staff will tell you not to use your phone on the train but won
t say a thing to the people who put their bags on the seats. These people didnt pay for two seats. If you have a ticket you should get a seat.Posted in: Do it at home: Train manners in Japan

He probably felt that she was having a hard time and decided to stick around and support her. 6 years later he got the picture. He sounds like a patient and caring individual. She sounds like a spoiled, selfish, and controlling "you know what." Unfortunately, he
ll never see his child again. Thats sad. He might have been a good father.Posted in: Ex-soccer player Honda, wife divorce after 6 years of sexless marriage

If the moped had the turning arrow then the truck driver is at fault. Perhaps he tried to run the light. Something that is quite common in Japan. If the moped made the turn on a green without the arrow then the moped driver is at fault. Hopefully there are some trustworthy witnesses. If it was one these bosazoku`s...well...they are always running lights anyway. Getting hit is bound to happen.

Sick. People have to be careful and always keep an eye on their surroundings. Disturbing and very sad.

10 million isn
t enough to be killing yourself or anyone else over. This behaviour seems to be quite common in Japan. The whole shame culture and I cant talk about my problems attitude has worn thin. Sillyness.Posted in: Woman arrested for killing 9-year-old son in Nagoya hotel

Wow! endless debating about whether people should have healthcare or not. Sounds like a no brainer. How many have suffered or died or required medical attention during this ridiculous debate? The citizens of all countries should be demanding more from their politicians. Afterall, they are supposed to be working for you.

If you grab a person who you thought was Ichihashib but ended up being someone else you mind find yourself in crap with the cops as this is assault. But the initial reaction would be to apprehend the person.

A 24 hr. subway service in Japan is just too logical. The system has been set and nothing will change.

s population are hungry? WoW! Aside from the food thought, I cant even imagine the sad and dispicable living conditions these people have to deal with. It`s not like these people are waking up in a nice house with all the gadgets and then looking in the fridge to find no food. Most of these people have to also worry about war, death, health, shelter, education, family, proper clothing etc. not just food. These problems are a result of failed politics. Sad state of affairs.Posted in: World Food Program says 1.02 billion people hungry

Everyone seems to have missed the point. In Japan you have absolutely no rights to see your kids or receive support from the authorities. Especially if you
re a NJ. Bringing children back to Japan after a divorce would be more acceptable if the Japanese parent actually kept their side of the deal. These actions are done with the intent to hide the kids from the foreign parent. Its very obvious. Just look at the laws in Japan and the countless cases that are ongoing regarding Japanese abduction. Nothing is ever settled. Some fathers have been fighting for over a decade. Kids wouldn`t even know who he is. Ridiculous! I hope there are mass protests to get these lazy foreign bureaucrats off their butts and fix this problem once and for all. Enough!!!Posted in: American father arrested in Japan had asked Tennessee court for help
