Too many oldies.

We have one regular toilet and one compost toilet in our house. The compost toilet needs very little water. Probably not a feasible option in cities.

I feel much more reassured after reading that.

Remember, it’s not a traveler, it’s a ‘foreign’ traveler!

Ozzy!!!

He should join them on the front line then. Oh, bone spurs, how inconvenient.

If he had stored by the smell, JT would not have reported it

That doesn’t make sense in any way, shape or form.

How best to describe Billy Eillish’s music? Beige? Conservative? Underwhelming?

Wait until kamemushi season kicks in.

Japan appears to be stuck in time.

You can say that again.

It’s those pesky foreigners again. Comin’ over ‘ere, Eatin’ our rice.

Good on her.

”Behave well”?

Selfish way to end your (and another’s) life and die a murderer.

How would a punch to the head also cause a cut to the ear?

Japan Today. Thank you for not blaming this on ‘foreign’ tourists like so much of the media here.

Go Japan!

Ah, you see - he was drunk. So it’s all okay. Naruhodo ne.

Stop…

Hammer time.

“many were removed in recent years partly due to safety concerns after terror attacks in the country, such as the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin gas attack”

… recent?

Did Diddy do it or Diddn’t he? That’s the question everyone’s asking.

This kind of reporting just stokes xenophobia and casts society into two groups: Japanese people (never part of the problem) and ‘foreigners’ (everyone else/the problem).

Locals complain of having to clean up after foreign tourists who leave a mess.

Notice how it’s written as ‘foreign tourists’ as though people know for sure who left the litter behind. Why not just say ‘tourists’? How do you know they were foreign? I’ve seen Japanese people throwing whole bags of litter into the river and countryside round where I live.

I can’t believe they did that in the first place. I’ve been to England a couple of times and the food and drink was always much better than anything I had in Japan. Why on earth did they do that?!

Blame it on the foreigners. They’re the usual scapegoat for everything else that ails Japan.

The rape of Ukraine by Trump and Putin continues.

Trump tells Putin to 'STOP'

Oh, that’ll do it.

Finally, someone standing up to Ukraine, I mean Russia.

I thought riding while using an umbrella had been made illegal about 15 years ago.

And the difference between Trump’s America and North Korea become harder and harder to discern.

Fossil fuels

Well done, all those who voted for Trump. Well done.
