Posted in: In terms of economic clout, Japan can’t beat China, so it’s important for Japan to show its partners that it’s willing to get involved on a long-term basis. See in context
Japan could have taken advantage of the Philippines when they had the chance but it's now almost China or Korea-owned. Japan could have managed to control the Pacific side with Taiwan in the equation, but lo and behold, they had chosen Thailand and Malaysia to infuse their investments.

I am more worried of humans destroying humans, and that worry has been going on for ages but humans still survive.

Posted in: More Japan tourist hot spots imposing hotel taxes to fund promotions See in context
Being a tourist itself is already doing promotions about the place I visit in Japan. That tax should be paid to me too because I also promote Japan in my own way. Rip off!

Posted in: Do you think summers are hotter now than when you were younger? See in context
Yes because our bodies are used to aircon nowadays, and the carbon emission of aircon makes the city even hotter.

Good thing this was updated right away so that the commuting workers were easily alerted for alternative ways to go to work. Lucky that I live in Japan where transportation options are endless!

Posted in: What are some of your favorite getaway spots in Japan to escape the heat? See in context
Karuizawa is just a couple of hours away from where I live, and there's a nice villa further north of it that I would spend a few days during the peak of summer when it's available for use. My friend owns it so it's not pricey. The surrounding forest and cool breeze are just perfect!

Posted in: Japan has not actively marketed its outstanding natural environment. See in context
@browny1 Once upon a time, my mate and I went out camping at the bank of Niyodo River because we had found nowhere else to stay in the middle of the night. When we woke up, we were literally surrounded by water but luckily our tent was on higher rocky area. Unsafe, yes, but it was part of the thrill of being young!

@browny1 You probably went to Shikoku's Iya Valley, didn't you? That area is considered as Japan's real last frontier!

Many Asians, especially Southeast Asians, are coming to Japan because Asians are getting richer than Americans! FACT! Not to mention the geographical advantage!

Same names of universities since the 1990s! Anything newsworthy about this? It would have been newsworthy if a totally unknown national university is still in the running! But no... it's all about Tokyo! Pretty sure Tohoku and Kyoto will end as runners-up in this "race".

I did bullet climbing in 2001 and it was an awesome experience, especially with the rain. Vowed never to do it again, but it was worth it.
