A somewhat big problem is the lack & cost of nursery schools. Have to train more teachers & open up more nursery schools. I often hear about kids on waiting lists to get in to the schools. Just throwing money at the problem doesn't seem as it would be much help.

Is there any country in the world that has that in place ?

Fighto! There is a mercy rule. If you're up by 15 after the 5th or 10 after the 7th. This game ended in the 5th. That's only in the qualifying rounds though.

Let's not forget it's also hay fever season.

The Japanese are overwhelmingly conservative & afraid of change which is why the LDP has ruled since the 50's. Except for a small & very short glitch in between. So, even if this does hurt Kishida, the party will still stay in charge & nothing will happen.

So, the Jgov is always crying about the low birth rate. They try to push for more drinking hoping that will lead to more sex. Aging population becoming a huge problem, but we can't allow HS dating. Sure wish they'd get their heads out of their collective arses.

There aren't enough workers for the menial jobs & Japan doesn't want to open its borders to let workers in besides in dribs & drabs. So, going to be the way going forward unless there is some drastic change in the Jgov & don't see that happening any time soon.

Of course, that's awesome they do that, but I hope they realize the clean up is already added on to the ticket price. They should be getting discounts !!

As sleek as it looks, the trip to Hakata only shaves off about 15 minutes of the time from the previous kamome & the ride is almost twice the price. Also, have to change trains once. Pretty much useless

I wish this news feed would let us know leading up to these events. Not just after the fact.

It's a proven scientific fact that masks do not prevent covid-19. Just so ridiculous !!

China playing the media war as well.

Is a safety device really needed? Are Japanese really that undependable and unreliable?. All they have to do is walk to the back of the bus & check if there are any children left on the bus. It's not like there are any hiding spots on the bus. :-(

Been vaccinated 3 times & I & the people around me were wearing masks when I contracted covid. So, not much ( no ) faith in the masks. I do wear a mask when going indoors just as to not be ridiculed by the clueless people around me. Also believe the government sends mix messages partly intentionally as to keep the people confused & afraid. Then they are easier to control.

How many people use knives & forks to eat hamburgers ? The occasional person with a salad maybe. And the top cover that the straw goes thru is plastic. Pretty sure they'll still put everything in a large plastic bag for take outs.

Does anyone actually read the article or just the headlines & then draw snide conclusions??

The story is based on Osaka's organization Play Academy, which provides grants and training for community sports organizations.

I sure hope so. Japan is surrounded by nations with nuclear capability. As the old adage goes: you don't bring a knife to a gun fight. They wouldn't be the only ones with nukes, so they wouldn't be careless with them as that would bring about their own annihilation.

The point everyone seems to be missing, if 2 companies are allowed to do this, more companies will follow. Where will it stop?

I'm putting 1 child thru university & I'm under the 9.8 mill threshold, but I don't get anything. Seems quite unfair. As Nibeki32 suggested, just reduce our taxes. That would help everyone !

As it is a hassle to return the wallet to a police booth as I have experienced, now, If I find one, I drop it in a mail box & let JPost take care of it.

If I'm not mistaken, every prefecture has a different minimum wage. So, is it that are raising ¥28 throughout Japan & the ¥930 is for the Tokyo area ?

Thousands & thousands of athletes from all over the world have been preparing their whole life for this. I, for one, am glad they got the chance which they have been dreaming about since forever.

This is just totally amazing. 100% respect to them & all of the paralympians !! Just so awe inspiring. Their spirit just brightens your day & your life for that matter. Nothing but positivity coming from them.

I always tip the taxi drivers. Albeit just a little. Usually just tell em to keep the change.

Maybe besides not wasting the blemished fruits & veggies, they should also sell the stuff they dump to keep prices reasonable in stores when there's a bumper crop.

80% of the Japanese didn't want the olympics, but seems as if 95% of them are watching the opening ceremony. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Consider ??? Is this some kind of joke ?

Not only is just 13.8% of the population vaccinated, most likely 95% of that 13.8% are over the age of 65 & I don't think that many over that age plan to attend the games or even be out on the streets during the games. If 13.8% of the population aged 20-50 were vaccinated, that would sound " a little" better.

Amazes me how the worl world is a fraid to stand up to the bully country China. Taiwan is a country. Plain & simple. They complain about evry little thing they find offensive & the whole world kowtows to them. The world just cares about money. They complain about human rights & the such, but long as China wields the almighty legal tender, Taiwan, Tibet & everywhere else in the area will never live in total harmony. :-(

Does this mean that Peach is now part of Star Alliance or just sharing mileage with ANA ?
