    I remember this sad incident very well and didn't realize just how easy it could happen to anyone of us. Just this past Saturday, at a neighborhood omatsuri in Yokohama, I saw two ladies hauling a big pot of curry from one of their homes to the area of the…

    I keep coming back to this article as it really bothers me that the students have to suffer by not being able to go through with their homestay. But apparently, the students aren't the only ones to suffer...

    Three of the five abductees that were returned to Japan several years ago and the US Army deserter said that they witnessed abductees from several different countries. Not only from Japan and South Korea. Italy and Thailand are the two that I remember the most but there were a few…

    That is terrible for the students not to be able to visit Korea for this reason. I can't imagine why the homestay program coordinators would even agree to canceling the program. Why punish Japanese (or any for that matter) children for something their government decided?!?

    And.....here we go again. Some…

    If they give this to AU to sell, then I'll be happy to have one, but I'm not changing carriers just to have this phone.

    I was hoping they'd sell through AU too. From what I understand, Docomo was/is contemplating and AU was, flat out, not interested. I wouldn't switch…

    Totally unfair! She gets slammed and he gets off. The media has really made her look bad and don't seem to show much light on Nioka (Oh, but of course he's a good guy.....I almost forgot he plays for The Tokyo Yomiuri Giants). Regardless, for both of them to go…

    Garlic breath.

    I was thinking the same. That and B.O.!!! If you can smell him/her with "hello," chances of taking that attention away throughout the date is going to be difficult.

    What is it with knives here?!

    Knives are used so often because those who use them this way can't get their hands on a gun. Can you imagine if they did have guns here like they do in the US or S.Africa? I hope it never happens.

    Cops are just as perverted also.

    That's why the cops arrested him....so they can ask him what color her undies were.

    They roll them up so high to be sexy and cool. Obviously the girls are trying to get attention and they are getting it. But if it's from their…

    IMHO, graffiti in/on public places and spaces is totally uncalled for! But even more so on a World Heritage and especially by an adult! I think the coach got what he deserved. He is supposed to be setting an example for the children and this is not it. In turn,…
