Hope it will end up with agreement and "real" price war starts, not only between ANA & JAL.

If only the outside world truly knew the real japan.


The thing is that nobody want to air such problems abroad or write about it in major newspapers.
One time wouldn`t be enough, it should be pointed each time something like this happen in this country.

...A 3 year old is NOT a "baby."...


Exactly , but in today`s news they were referring as a "baby". Furthermore, it was farther who have left. They speculated saying he did because he probably was single one who wasn`t able to take care of a child by himself. Need to go work etc. Here we are, Japanese system without any help to single mothers and fathers. I feel sorry for them. Anyway, as many of you said, better left in the "box" than abuse or find in the garbage.

I started from J-Phone, went through Vodafone and now Softbank, altogether 6 years. Never had single problem and reception getting better. Now I would love to get new phone, but without changing my "Vodafone" plan, which gives me at the moment for monthly 315yen Family Plan with 24h/7 talk free, including SMS, MMS, so it would be nice to see Softbank follows Vodafone idea.

These kids would've been better off researching and doing the presentations themselves, rather than politely nodding as a translator gave her/his version of what was being said by a diplomat who has no idea about the kids' lives or what they're interested in.


Absolutely

Some 10-12 year olds are mature enough to be at home without supervision.


In Japan? 10-12 = 2-3

for one am completely shocked that another Japanese company has been uncovered putting their own financial well-being ahead of the safety of their customers. And then lied about it.
Let's see, they now join a list that only includes Mitsubishi, Fujiya, Nippon Otis, Nippon Ham, JR West, and almost all of the power companies.


Whom to blame? Hmmm...were there foreign parts used, so we can blame someone from outside our group.

I saw mom going out from Pachinko with her 2 kids whose age I would say were 5 and 8 (???)
At least she did not leave them in the car. I think she was teaching them what to do if you want to spend some cash with hopes.

and some EU bureaucrats want them in EU? It will be the same like with Romania and Bulgaria who joined Union this year and since then they stopped to do anything against corruption and criminal laws in both countries. Once you are in, you in, so...why bother.

People with disabilities still get stared at and treated differently in many countries in the world. This is not a japan only phenomenon as I'm sure we all know.


OK, but Japan even do not have buses for baby cars, and we are talking about wheelchairs?
There is no such special place in the train either. Whta is new in Japan we in my country adopted long, long time ago. Lowered sidewalks, non-step buses in every city with special space (no seats) for baby cars and wheelchairs, the same with trains. I had a few occasions to see when "non-step" bus was introduced to the city. Why do they need City President and all these special opening ceremony with cutting ribbon for JUST bus? Is it really so unique here, so special? Common.

According to Japanese "wild" law the driver who was hit will be punished at maybe 30% and Sumo guy at 70%. In my country car behind is 100% guilty, not here. Here is "Well sorry, but you have to pay 30% becayuse you stopped in wrong time and place" "You shouldn`t have been here man"

There was interview the other day on BLOOMBERG TV with Japanese guy from Nomura Securities. It was mainly about 7mln. "baby boomers"retires this year. They asked him about work force and impact on society as there are almost 0 children born in Japan. The answers were:
#1 " According to our calculations, companies won`t lose anything, instead, they will gain more profit as the most paid "guys" will leave.
#2 " According to our calculations, we don`t worry at all...

Thi is called COMMUNISM, printing more money and pumping into long dead business. Japan`s unemployment rate would be too high and there is non existing social help or traning program for those poor people who eventually lose their jobs. By the way, DAIEI close where I live got great renewal, everything inside redesigned and now it`s pleasure to walk in and do shopping. More space, more small shops inside and it looks like more elegant shopping center. So, where all this money come from for such project? Our taxes or as I mentioned printing?
