Call me old fashioned. I try not to. But language is a living “matter” that needs to evolve. So I don’t think so. In fact it is good.

But why?

This trend is international. It is happening in all heavily visited cities around the world.

I hope not, but surely China will keep on with its claim, and keep on trying.

Absolutely NO. There is no way league games such as El Clásico should be played outside Barcelona or Madrid. FIFA should just supervise football, and stop getting involved with individual leagues. Specially club football.

The whole Olympics should go back to the basics. With events that can be measured by time, length, weight, height and score. Events in which judges give the points/scores should be excluded.

It doesn’t seem to stop all the Chinese visiting Japan from flocking into sushi restaurants.

A similar system is used in Europe. Shop, get the refund documents at the shop, apply before departing airport personally or online (before check in), and get the refund. It’s simple.

*suspicious travelers may be asked to show the purchases when applying. If you fail to show them, bye bye refund.

If a hand is extended, I extend mine. If bowed, I bow. It’s not complicated.

Just 1 million to a country that stands by Japan in every disaster sounds very little.

Nothing will be decided until after the US presidential election.

AFC, UEFA, Comebol, etc, and the biggest of all FIFA, all a disgrace

Hino, Daihatsu, Denso. Not a good year for Toyota.

I see a value to those who care, but do not impose it.

Probably the last major event that the investment made a positive impact was the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Two (more) fired. Two fewer in the arsenal. But how many do they have?

And sooner than later, one will completely misfire and land where it shouldn't.

Drugs, unlawful invasion of independent countries, supporting aggressors, and countries not respecting individual rights and freedom. They should all be excluded not just the Olympics, but all sporting events.

Why not.

Call me old-fashioned. Keep Russian athletes out.

No way it will work.

What about washing off the bacteria on your hands.

Don't worry Paris! Bananas don't grow in Tokyo either.

Talking about the "language" industry, translations, and interpreting face a big risk.

..., Florida, Virginia, ... Who is next?

What are they doing in Russia?

I find it interesting that when Japan evacuates, there never seem "other nationality" people evacuated as well. While many other countries usually give a "lift" to those other than their own nationals. Or is it that the news coverage misses it?

NO. An excuse to delay new and/or other sources.

Keep it controlled!

I wonder if "forcing" masks is disrespectful even if it may be protocol.

Probably too boring stable.
