I guess when you win an election by actually being appealing, people want to come.

Is it even a good idea to have people working in a virus-free bubble, only to hop on a train loaded with the sick and walking wounded?

Well, nothing says amicable relations and the power to see your marriage through thick and thin like knowing the other's blood type.

Japanese kids, like Japanese adults, are fast to latch on to buzzwords and catch-all terms seen in the media. This goes for school life as well. If a kid is isolated their misery is palpable. I've seen it and I felt at a loss to try to get the other kids to stop isolating that other one.

Call me nasty, but at her age most of the things she will want to do in life are complete. I sort of think she must have some sense of relief.

I wonder if digital sales would boom in Japan if they made CD rentals illegal... Or if they'd stay the same and suddenly everyone would be learning to torrent...?

Fun as it sounds, it certainly has plenty of awful possibilities.

A 19-year gap between siblings?? There's something a little unordinary about this family, I think... Is he a full brother, I wonder...?

Obviously so they can get used to the enormous pressure they are trying to direct. You're not much of a fireman if having actual water come out the house is a worry.

Yeah? I was keen to get one, too, but when it finally came to looking at it in front of me, I decided eyestrain and worse wrists than I already have were not appealing...

Quit trying to make other countries hold the ball on whether protesting whaling is right or wrong, Mr. Tsuruoka. Regardless if you support or don't support the actions of Sea Shepherd and Steve Irwin, asking other countries to remove their freedom of speech through action is ridiculous.

I played basketball through my school days and worked a nightfill job in my university years... I never started putting on weight till I came to Japan. Of course, I ate konbini a lot and my workplace was across the road, unlike my old jobs that required 2km or so walks to and from the station each day.
Now the kids call me metabo on a daily basis >>
