Very, very absolutely. Why would you ask?

Freedom for women, freedom for women.
Yet I am glad my wife did not belong to the 1 in 500 :-)

@trulymad (indeed)I visited this castle a couple of years ago. It's beautiful and there weren't any elevators. You can elevate yourself with your own feet up the ancient steps.

Ambiguous. Export volume? Efficiency? Profit margin?
Richest country? Ambiguous again. Richest for who? Percentage of population? Too many questions. Too few answers.

Someone already commented on this. It's true that it's all a matter of cost, profit and cut throat competition. I have been flying for more than 4 decades and I remember that in the seventies airfares were more than twice as high as now. Even higher probably due to devaluation of currencies. As an example: Japan - Europe cost 200 to 300 thousand yen round trip. Now it's less than half. If we were willing to pay those old fares we could all travel in super comfort.
Still I feel there should be clear international regulations put in place that guarantee both the safety AND the comfort for ALL passengers on board. Large people take up two seats on buses, trains, ferries and in automobiles. They need the same space on airplanes. The airlines need to provide that space and think of a pricing strategy fair to all passengers.

Not a big surprise. Towering over the net the Russian women have a definite advantage over the Japanese girls. Height is might.

Panties collector. Nothing wrong with that. It's like collecting stamps, coins or match boxes. Except here the items were stolen. I bet that's part of the thrill!

A beautiful place which I have visited many, many times. It's nice to see this photo here on JT, but it does not show the real beauty. Please come/go see Sandankyo any time of year. There are great hiking paths.

Pretty strong language. China seems really on a path with the thought it can control the world. 'Interference in China's internal affairs'. Ahh. Haven't read that great Chinese adage for a while.
I have heard somewhere (anonymous source) that China is considering a Tiananmen Peace Award.

Advanced nations, advanced states (it is thought) make advanced decisions. Marijuana should not be 'privatized' Keep it illegal and underground and under control of the mob. Congratulations.

No nation is permitted to make 'wrong remarks', except China - of course. I am surprised China has not used their favorite adage 'interfering in internal affairs' yet. It will happen soon enough and the Senkaku will become another Tibet. Fortunately the heavy Chinese boots won't trample on humans; on the islands, I mean.
I doubt China comprehends the meaning of 'sensitive'. But that aside, the islands China mentions are not just the Senkaku, they will insist, are going to insist, all islands in the east china sea, e.g. Formosa/Taiwan, the Japan archipelago, etc, belong to China since ancient times. Prepare for the apocalypse.

Yeah, wake up Norika? Michael says. But he means do not wake up. Stay put, don't go anywhere, do nothing. Great advice, because the ecology is more important than helping people. (Somehow I think the planes will be flying anyhow)

Whether I am a guy or not is not of your concern, and besides, I did not write that comment.

What facts exactly did Japan distort?
Who is distorting the truth here?
What are these tantrums of 'now we talk to you and now we don't'?
It was predicted more than half a century ago that China would become the greatest threat to stability in the world. It seems this time has arrived. The sleeping tiger, the pouting tiger, the growling tiger and next . . . Figure it out.
The Japanese side has ruined the atmosphere for talks? And Hu said that? Who is this man? Is he a politician? Is he any kind of leader? I guess he pretends he is. He and his buddies wish the differences, conflicts to linger, to grow, to fester. For what purpose? What is the meaning of diplomacy to China? I don't get it.
