Minecraft’s popular in Japan - why wouldn’t it be?

Yup.

What “industry” are you talking about?

Widest ship in the world is the 70m wide Ramform Titan. It’s used for oil & gas exploration.

Funnily enough, we were just posing for pictures at the Izakaya Hanako (the miniskirted one in the lead picture) one a few hours ago (Shinbashi, not Kinshicho, though).

Around US $50 for 2 hours of all you can eat and drink at the one in Ikebukuro.

Several rapid trains pass by close to the platform.

Blue lights have been shown to reduce suicides. It’s interesting the things that work.

E-fax, friend.

You’re focusing on THAT of all things???

Money and time. Takes a lot of both to install them.

Shin Koiwa had the jumper last year that managed to get knocked onto the platform and into the Newdays. Horrible. I can’t imagine how traumatic that was for all who witnessed it.

Shin Koiwa station isn’t all that dirty. It does get a lot of traffic and is on a major train line.

Work culture is not as bad as it’s reputation, to be honest.

Beautiful.

Automated cars are going to be really (sorry for this word choice) disruptive.

30-somethings and up are just as guilty of this, believe me.

My car navi won’t allow for searches when the car is in motion. Even for passengers.

Who is going to pay for all that investigative work? Are we going to hire more police, more court employees? That is a LOT of extra work.
