I wonder if it's really necessary to say "women" (should be female anyway) workers in the headline. Would it read "Male workers" had the people attacked been men? I doubt it somehow.

Gyouza - No it rarely makes news in London - but then again most (all that ive ever heard of) glassing incidents don't end in death.
I saw it happen once in a pub and it was horrendous. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

There have been several death linked to these "legal highs" and the dangers are now quite well known - certainly in the UK where two teenagers recently died after taking them. A foolish thing to do. I hope Japan looks into ways of keeping them out of the reach of young people but these adults should have known better.

Boiling water and kids don't mix well. Oh, I forgot Mickey mouse is for adults here, too.

Several years ago I went to a Tokyo hospital without referral and again to another about a year back - I had to pay around 5000yen for a first time fee, so I actaully thought this was already common practice.
Problem is, the only time i've needed to go to hospital was at night, it couldn't wait til the clinics were open but was urgent enough to get immediate attention so for this reason I think " out of hours" should be treated differently.

This reminds me of my first visit to Japan 7 or 8 years ago. I remeber seeing these hundreds of black suit wearing people all over the place and my BF telling me they were looking for jobs - thought it was just something that happened every day :) I can't see any females in this picture at all.

"If your in big metropolitan areas like Vancouver, Ottawa, or Toronto, sure it doesn't matter. But if your in a small town like Kelowna with 90 percent white people, most people behave differently since you look different and at the same time, they are not exposed to other cultures"
I can bet you anything, 99 percent of this "sample" group are living in Osaka or Tokyo.
Love it that the "American man" thinks that Europe is a country :D

Why don't they make a start by banning the ludicrous adverts. Giant posters of beautiful women puffing away on a disgusting menthol..if that girl actually smoked 20 a day she would look NOTHING like that.
In the UK all advertising of cigarettes is now banned. In addition each pack of tobacco carries a huge picture of a black lung, rotting teeth or the results of some hideous autopsy on a smoker along with facts about what smoking can do to you. I smoked when i was a teenager and these images are what made me stop.

Oden is the only type of nabe that I dislike! I think it's the fact that the ingredients in nabe are generally lightly cooked, retaining the fresh taste, whereas oden is stewed to death, big chunks of disentegrating daikon, and those huge triangles of konnyaku (I LOVE it cut up small or in shiratake style) then there's the random hard boiled egg which has turned grey in the stewing liquid- nope not for me :) It could also be that the smell in conbinis in the winter turns my stomach. Kimchi nabe is also my favourite.

Don't have a bread maker at home?
No, actually I don't. I make it by hand and I use flour, water, yeast and a pinch of salt. I wouldn't by a pack of pancake mix either, you are just paying for someone to put extremely cheap ingredients in a bag and charging triple the price. If you like the convenience of it then good for you :)

This is hilarious!
Just add water and yeast. Great - It's a bag of flour?
