Kono Taro, according to his wishes.

If you're not Japanese, probably best to tell someone else,who'll then inform the authorities.

Grim.

Finally global media seeing under the flimsy tarp of 'omotenashi' with this and the Johnny's exposé.

It's interesting that before space flight,most unexplained sights were of fairies or cryptozoology.

What's the next trend,I wonder?

Crem -crematorium.

I'll tell you what.You get good quality izakayas and restaurants nearby if you have a cream in your area.

Plus it's only about 2000 yen to attend a funeral,and you get a quality goodie bag;rather than more than 30,000 yen to go to a wedding.

Think about the fringe benefits.

Even in Finland,it gets over 30 in summer,and mosquitoes abound.

Got to be twinning it to winning it.

Life is short.

Without harming others,do as you like.

Personally,even as a redhead,I love the sun and never pass on a chance to be outdoors.

It's a delicate situation.

Looks like their hands are tied for now.

The funniest experience I had there was when those'Why Did You Come to Japan?' fellas started interviewing me.

As soon as I said that I lived here,they were gone like the wind!

Laphroaig,Bruillaladich,any Islay or Jura malts.

Kono Taro,if you please.

Interestingly, there's a sriracha vending machine outside the main supermarket in my wife's hometown in Gifu!

No shortage up there.

True.

One could say the same of the media and the government.

I've lived in hotter countries,e.g Qatar, Australia,India,even Nepal,but I think it's more how cultures adapt to the heat and humidity through architecture,work routines and diet which make the summers more bearable.

In that regard,Japan on the whole is the least comfortable.

Not just Korean.

There's plenty of European art,too.

@wallace I like your style.

I lived in properly hot countries in the past,so spicy food,hot tea,nothing iced.

Perhaps a hat with a bill might be a good idea?

@albaleo

Cesspits are still very much prevalent in Cornwall, where I am from.

Nightsoil was always the primary fertilizer here in Japan,and on the Hawaiian Islands.

Almost 40 degrees today.

These blokes are the toughest sportsmen out there.

Alps on the horizon.

@Vreth

Nope.Pacific down here is just as bad,just depends on prevailing wind and swell direction seasonally.

Where does the finance originate for these launches?

I was often told that a lot of pachikno parlours were DPRK owned.Is this still true?

Advice:

Don't take a taxi after sake in Takasaki.

Not in summer.

Not high enough to get cooking effect,and leeches abound.

But he's happy to have achieved his peerage due to hobnobbing with Russia,China,and middle Eastern states in order to host international athletic events.

Interesting.

Maybe Denny could ask why every second PET bottle I pick up on my beachcleans here on Amami is a Fujian water bottle?

Well done to Mayoi Ebihara of Tokyo!

Astounding!
