The move came after the university found pieces of a plant and pills in July and contacted the police. The plant was later identified as cannabis, they said.

And the pills have been identified to be stimulants.

I would believe an university would not contact the police for just cannabis, and keep it secret, but here, if the story would be known to have been hidden, it would get worse for the university.

I think all subsidies should be stopped as it does not encourage people and businesses to really reflect on their consumption and reduce it. A few years back, such a price was making the headline due to a very high oil price, but now the exchange rate has more impacted the price increase than the oil price itself. The J news do not report anything, focusing on the heat and temperatures. Oil price is around 80 dollars now.

With a price at 200yens, behavior will change.

Don’t have my card yet, and it has not changed anything, as long as I can use actual cards

It has been decades that experts have been warning about global warming and associated risks, also the link with human activities and CO2 release.

But nothing is clearly done to stop the hemorrhage, which does start by what we call a consumption decrease by humans. But this hurt politicians.

What is the definition of a correct answer ? Same as the textbook, with no grammatical mistake ?

Nothing better than reading on a paper

Nice but massive crowd everywhere.

Is that enjoyable to watch when packed like sardines

It is a fuss because of a massive fraud, in which the insurance company might also be involved.

and Big Motor is gonna collapse soon

We bought an apartment when we first got married. I filled out several loan applications with different banks and we eventually got finance approved. It wasn't until she kicked me out that I found out my name wasn't anywhere on the housing contract and her father had guarantored the loan for her only. Be careful guys

i believe you were « abused » or did not want to see some dark side of your lover. One is reflected by the abusive pension required.

As for the housing, it is complicated in Japanese, but if you signed the loan application, you should have a guarantor. And did not you check the housing contract ?

If your name is not on it, it means all the taxes are paid under your wife’s name

According to the Jnews, the Tokyo court has ordered Fukuhara Ai to give back the kid to her husband, but her side said the court decision is not final.

This is a high profile case and for once, I believe Japan will comply with The Hague treaty it has signed, otherwise it might go against Japan

From Ocotober, Japanese might need to have a visa for entering Brazil if Japan still requires visa for Brazilians. The same will apply for US, Canada and Australia citizens if I am not wrong

First of all you don’t go into unknown rivers, lakes or sea areas, still independent of any swimming skills, never.

Staying home is safe but heatstroke will be a danger.

An assessment of waters is enough to decide specially for rivers and lakes. Seas have hidden currents that can not be spotted. rivers such as the one of this article do not have any trap.

@didou What do you mean. I live just to the right of that picture. Almost everything I need is within a 5 or 6 minute walk. So convenient! And the subway is just around the corner, so I can get anywhere.

If you are happy and feel comfortable in Shinjuku, that’s fine. For sure, it is convenient.

But for me, the concrete jungle is depressing and would kill my mental health.

Lack of greenery, too many people. I feel like within a fortress, always surrounded by walls. But beyond that, it is not only the price but the overpopulation, always having to wait in line, crowded stations, etc…

Work in Tokyo, but I did chose to have a 2 hours commute for a more relaxing atmosphere in Chiba, near the Pacific coast. The only inconvenient is that it makes it more difficult to meet friends based in Tokyo during the weekends.

Having grown in the countryside in my home country had definitively an impact.

All those condos in central Tokyo are mental killers

Smart women’s do need smart men, that’s the problem

Is the English completely correct in this article ?

I have already seen some bad wording from Kyodo in previous articles.

No opinion fromJapan, a country promoting peace. Politics…..

He could be judged or interrogated by videoconference if the Lebanon authorities had the will to make some efforts and not protect him.

Once again Tokyo-centric reporting! 

Well, as far as I understand, the article is about all Japan, not Tokyo.

Otherwise, for Okinawa, there is the Okinawa Times.

No need to always compare Japan with what has been developed in other countries

A 17yo not allowed to drive, piloting a Mercedes with a Poland number plate, already known from the police and justice, who did not stop at the first police attempt to stop him.

Police should not have shot at him but he is far from being innocent

@quercetum

The article mentioned

The prefectural government had previously flagged the area as being at high risk of such an incident. It said it had informed the manager about the flaw but he had done nothing to reinforce the building structure

Why keeping supporting Ghosn ?

He is not a saint. He is on the Interpol list and sued in other countries

In another news

Lebanon received from Interpol a wanted notice for disgraced auto tycoon Carlos Ghosn on Thursday, four weeks after French prosecutors issued an international arrest warrant for him, Lebanese judicial officials said.

It is the second Red Notice that Lebanon has received in the case, as the first was issued in January 2020,

The new Red Notice came after the French prosecutor's office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre said last month that it issued the warrant for the former head of Nissan and Renault and four other people based on an investigation opened in 2019 into money laundering and abuse of company assets.

Prosecutors are investigating millions of dollars in alleged suspect payments made between the Renault-Nissan alliance and Suhail Bahwan Automobiles (SBA), a vehicle distributor company in Oman.

Bullet climbing is an issue only for the ones never doing exercises. And there are a lot climbing Mount Fuji. That’s why it is an issue.

Otherwise, bullet climbing is not an issue at such an altitude. It is more the length of the cling the problem, specially from Gotemba

The number 2 visa is hard and more restrictive to get as it also allows family members to come and set up definitively here.

It is a migrant visa

Her phone was maybe simply off.

and then in typical Japanese fashion blame it on her number being foreign, rather than just admitting that there is no coverage in the area

Poor knowledge of Japan and the Japanese

No blame on Japan as it was sold in 1990 in aNY auction. Did the US did not intervene at that time ? Didn’t they know about this painting ?

That’s also a question to answer

Well, I have not heard of any case around

Many convenient stores open after taking away the greeneries, woods or rice paddies along roads, to end up closing after a few years of not working. Some places are taken back by dentists, massage chains, etc, but a lot just get abandoned and empty. This has a huge footprint as the land is never restored. I would like the chains to reflect on that, rather than only promoting some plastic reduction or whatever fits with an environmentally conscious mind.

Apparently, one guy arrested is also suspected of a similar robbery in Ueno last March.

The only way to escape after a robbery in Ginza, or any other areas with a street camera every 5 meters would be to have a real mastermind plan, and heading straight to Haneda to catch a flight. But anyway, this would end in being arrested overseas, which happened to some foreigners about ten years ago. Only high profile guys, such as Carlos Ghosn, are not handed back.

Those kids are not Nobel Prizes and watched too many movies.
