Japantime comments

I have only been stopped once. Answered their questions and got on with life. Maybe they should stop seeing problems that don’t exist. I often see them stop Japanese citizens and search their bags, so it is not only foreigners who are stopped.

All of the strongest teams from Asia have now qualified. I expect them all to do well. Hopefully the other regions best countries qualify for the World Cup. New Zealand will go in as the highest ranked team from the Oceania region as well. There will be some exciting world class games on display in the US next year.

The World Cup of Soccer is getting bigger every year because more teams want to play in it. Next year will have a country like Canada which will be making a rare appearance in a World Cup. I think it might be the first time for them. This increases interest in the games. I think in the future, teams will play in local games and it will be a knockout tournament. This will solve the problem. Only the top two teams will play in the final. In America, they have conferences. The World Cup should do the same.

I can buy curry at the supermarket and just boil it in water for ¥100. It tastes the same.

It sounds like she was smuggling the drugs for her foreign friends. Unfortunately many foreigners in Japan like to take drugs rather than enjoy their nights out. Hopefully they will search her phone contacts and arrest all her contacts in Japan too.

Australia just qualified for the World Championship with the win. Away games are always tougher to play well in. Japan did very well.

Unusual to hear of brown rice in Japan. Usually you can only buy Japanese white rice in stores. This must be a special order for overseas.

It will be best to buy the Japanese version and then change the language in the settings. It works on most products. Usually there are many languages available. Hopefully they will be in the stores tomorrow to buy.

He will be the only one capable of pitching and hitting home runs. This will be unbelievable for us to watch. He will become the greatest ever in the history of baseball.

Unfortunately America is very pro-Israel. This is why the foreign students have been banned. Hopefully some of the foreign students come to Japan, which has a very good graduate education producing many Nobel winners.

They sound like two different cars a month apart. Hopefully they follow up on this with camera footage from the area at the time. I have seen police even use doorbell cameras to trace abductions.

Summer is not strawberry season in Japan. That is why the price is very high. Hopefully they sell it during strawberry season at a cheaper price as strawberries are abundant during that time.

How many have returned to the new cult and doing the same thing they were taught? Why did the parents leave their own children when they left the cult? This generation seems to only care about themselves.

I have never heard of the European room for river concept. Unfortunately, the article doesn’t give a description, so people have to research it themselves. Back to journalism 101 please.

This article states that they only received between 1% and 3% of votes when they were voted on. Doesn’t sound like they will be approved anytime soon. Maybe the movie guy will get in, because of the voters liking the movie.

Very strange rule as Rugby is one sport where anyone can play for any country. It is a sport for the rich, where players are paid a lot of money to play for different countries. New Zealand have a lot of players from smaller Pacific islands playing for them.

People will be lining up in front of stores to be the first to buy it. It will be the biggest product for the year. Everyone will get one for Christmas this year

The best way to avoid prison is to follow the rules. This sounds simple but most foreigners aren’t able to do that. I have seen many foreigners take drugs and assault local people. Most of the fights I have seen in Japan involve foreigners.

Saudi Arabia is quickly becoming one of the powerhouses of world soccer. They will be one of the favorites for the next World Championship too.

This is very common in Europe with terror attacks. It sounds like he got the idea from these types of incidents. Why did he drive all the way to Osaka to kill the kids I wonder.

Japanese are very strong in sports. Part of the reason is their never give up spirit. They are willing to practice anytime of day. That is why they are world champions and gold medalists in multiple sports.

In Vietnam, it is called the American War. Like most wars, America didnt win. They were forced out. Everyone can see the same in Afghanistan.

Japanese people don’t like junk food as much as in the home country of America. In America people have ice cream at least twice a day. In Japan it is about once a week. For most people Baskin Robbins is perfect because they have simple 31 flavors to choose from.

This shows how popular the mascot and Expo is in Osaka. Every story from Osaka is about the Expo.

Hopefully this won’t result in shorter flights, so that the crew can take a break. We may have to get used to one hour flights stopping at multiple airports before our final destination.

I’ve never heard of Yakuza committing a crime, unless it was a movie from 50 years ago. Are they relevant in todays society where online crime is popular, and they don’t seem to have the skill to do it.

Why would they get a pet if they don’t know how to look after it? This is a common problem for selfish people. They don’t have the right training to handle a pet. Luckily in Japan, people are more considerate before getting a pet. They walk them every day and take excellent care of their pets. Most cities have special dog runs for them. So Japan is a very pet friendly country.

This sounds like a great place to grab a quick bite while visiting the Expo. I will definitely go there for my lunch when I visit.

Hopefully the parents of these kids take them to the Expo this summer. It would be unfortunate to miss out on this once in a lifetime event to see other cultures great exhibits. I have already met so many people from Tokyo who have already been and raved about the experience.

This is why the Expo is such a great event. It gives people the chance to experience the latest technology.
