Once J-cop put the recording procedure in their interrogation manuals, they will perhaps mechanically conduct recording. Come to think about it, it’s scary if they start conducting interrogations in the manner Makudonaldo’s clerks would do.

It’s much easier to visit Lhasa than to visit Dharamsala since Lhasa can be accessed either by train or by airplane. China has been doing a lot better than India in creating a tourist friendly city. I hope China would also do better than India in hosting Dalai Lama and…

Enshrine Minke whales in Yasukuni! Then the Japanese will understand why one species is superior to others. Minkes are more important than other marine animals because they are gods. No matter how brutally lobsters are steamed alive, who cares about the death of the inferior beings. I need to go…

The Chinese student was assaulted in Koreatown (Shimanouchi) where many people also speak Chinese. Two months after the victim’s body was found, the police arrested the perpetrator who has been hiding somewhere in Hyogo prefecture. Compare this with Ichihashi case. World of difference.

Fukuda and Rudd should ban whaling as well as any hunting and fishing of any ocean animals in Okinotorishima and Antarctica because both areas of high seas have extremely delicate ecosystems.
