"My parents-in-law really want us to have a boy... however I will definitely not have more kids," Nga said.
Same with my friends MIL keeps blaming her why is it that she can't have a grandson. So I told her tell your MIL to blame her son for not producing an XY chromosome in his sperm.

Makes no sense to get pay in cash as a full time employee. Who wants to walk around with a chunk of cash all the time. Niether do I want it all in a generic payment app, the only logical choice is the bank account.
Tell that to our baba and jiji with cash in their bags.

@falseflagsteveToday 02:33 pm JST
This must be stopped and those caught doing this punished severely. A crackdown by the police nationwide is the best option. All tourists caught should be deported and banned from returning for set period, possibly 10 years. They should also have their mugshots placed online to name and shame the criminals and help deter other sickos from entering the country.
Any pimps caught should face a mandatory prison sentence with all their assets seized and placed in a fund to assist victims of sexual crimes.
The prostitutes should be given a chance to change their life and become decent and hold down a normal job.
Pornography also needs to be banned and anyone selling or making it severely punished and named and shamed online
Geez if the Japanese says it's not illegal that's it. You are so prude.

Japanese people can be unlikely to help in situations like this.
I remember when a lady collapsed/fainted in front of me getting off a hot and overcrowded train, people were actually just stepping over her! Only when I stopped to help did others actually think to do likewise
I would never help ever again injured or that needs medical attention person here in Japan, years ago I helped a badly injured woman that was beaten by her boyfriend and instead I ended up in the interrogation room for hours.

Article doesn't say anything of the sort. For all you know, the poor girl might have been too scared or upset to make the proper arrangements. We may know what's 'right' or 'wrong' from the comfort of our keyboards, but under the circumstances, would your thinking be crystal clear?)

Imagine being 16 years old and having to deal with pregnancy and birth maybe without any help. How terrifying that whole episode must have been! Regardless of the circumstances, we should show her some compassion before making judgements and guesses about the 'how
Even a 10 year knows dead body do not belong inside a closet, suitcase or whatever.
