Please tell me you are joking to stir up the younger ones. Please.



the most important negative thing about japan is it's shrinking population rather than anything else

japan's population will shrink from 128 million now to 80 million in 2060 .
this already long ciculated. here and there i see lot of sentiments and there prediction also by 20 years late from now them already got critical local labour/workforces problem, unless they fix that or could made anything automatic, unlikely. in otherside like the most asian country they also not so embraced immigration the way western already used for. there alo another sentiment that it shouldnt push for, like how europe countries suffer lately.
i think they prettyl open on it, in the future, it's their reclusive nature demand foreigners to follow their customed, like language.
(this vids not represent whole japan, just random pedestrian insight)

Did you look at the article, Dani?
Those are allegedly their ages and one of them is mom to the other two.

It could all be fake, but who knows. Some of the comments accuse the photos of being heavily airbrushed - so that could be, but hey the same goes for the photos we see in most magazines.

yeah i'll leave you to it, matey. I need to go feed the clown who lives in my crawl space. Thanks for that link to prove your point, though. How are you going with that dude of a lawyer in nigeria who told you your long lost cousin 3 times removed has left you 50 million dollars?

I sent him the $50,000 so that he'll split the 50 million with me... haven't heard back from him yet!

You have a clown in your crawl space? Is it like those horror movies where a family moves into a house and finds out that a crazy murdering guy is living in between the walls and crawling around the house?

To link clowns to this East Asia thread - here, once again for your enjoyment, are the creepy Japanese McDonalds commercials...

Which province? I love indonesia, and there's more to it than Bali, which is also beautiful if you get away from the tourist areas.

Have you been to Indonesia, reso?

Has anyone else been to Japan? I was telling my husband the other night about pachinko parlours. Oh My Freaking god!

The farthest east (and south) I've ever been from the U.S. is St. Maarten!
The farthest west I've been is Catalina Island!
The farthest north I've been is Quebec.

That's great. Travel is a wonderful thing and i've been very lucky. I want to go to north america but i'm taking a break from travel at the moment.

So Japan - Cherry blossom festival. Wow I have never experienced such utter joy. Sitting on a river bank with japanese friends, drinking sake and singing to the blossoms. Those werre the days.



I read this book about a murder related to Japanese hostess culture. It's horrifying. The men in these clubs aren't allowed to touch the hostesses, if they do word travels around the various clubs in what is pretty much Tokyo's red light district and they will be banned from them all. Instead it's a bunch of foreign women in their early 20's usually who act like they're really interested in these old rich Japanese guys. They are basically waitresses to them with heavy flirting being a major part of the job. Was pretty weird, the fake families in Noriko's Dinner Table reminded me of it as the hostesses were pretty much fake girlfriends to the guys. They could pay to take them out on dates and whatever there is just zero chance of anything sexual happening, if the girls were to do anything sexual they'd be fired. The murder was by one sick POS but it was all pretty seedy and dark and sad anyway.
wow the criminal man got fascinating~in terrifying way background check

"Joji Obara was born Kim Sung Jong (Hangul: 김성종; hanja: 金聖鐘)[1][2] in 1952 to poor Zainichi Korean parents in Osaka, Japan.[3] During his youth, his father worked his way from scrap collector to taxi driver to immensely wealthy owner of a string of pachinko parlours.[4] Obara was educated at prestigious private schools as well as having daily tutoring in a variety of subjects such as languages and musical instruments. At age 15, he enrolled in a prestigious prep school affiliated with Keio University. At graduation, students are virtually guaranteed entrance to highly selective Keio University. Two years later, upon his father's death, he inherited property in Osaka and Tokyo. After graduating from Keio University with degrees in politics and law, he became a naturalized Japanese citizen and legally changed his name to Joji Obara.[4]

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Obara invested heavily in real estate speculation and became extremely wealthy, having assets estimated at as much as 38 million dollars. After losing his fortune when the bubble burst and his firm collapsed, he reportedly used his business as a money laundering front for the yakuza syndicate, Sumiyoshi-kai.[5]

Obara was a drug user, who was reported to have an fixation with western women. He developed a pattern of criminal behavior, beginning with unlawfully administering drugs to render his victim unconscious, and proceeding to abduct and rape them. Obara victimized both Japanese and Western women.[6] He recorded his attacks on videotape, 4,000 to 5,000 of which were recovered by police, leading police to believe that Obara may have raped anywhere from 150 to 400 women.[7] Police found extensive journals in which Obara made reference to "conquer play", a euphemism describing his sexual assaults on women who he wrote were "only good for sex" and on whom he sought "revenge on the world"[8] drugging them with chloroform.

I was asked to be an escort' Some of it was very classy but a lot of it is bloody dark. A girlfriend of mine was an escort - blond american, very pretty. She was getting fur coats and jewellery. She said there was no sex, and she was married to a japanese guy who I think may have been yakuza or bosozoku to say the least, She left him when she couldnt take the beatings any more and went back home. Yeah so take whatever you want from that. A lot of it is gaijin and I would say most, as Cam mentioned. a hell of a lot of it is girls offered visas, citizenship, accomodation you name it, then they find themselves as sex slaves. Really frightening stuff. I would think any japanese girls who get into it are failed geisha.

Not something for me, that's for sure.



fear for the underworld. where they tried to recruit you @Dani8? at kabukicho?.
yeah, human traficking was still a major problem that often overlooked. their organized crime was really on another level, talk how crime rate relatively low there

They were her emplyers, reso, and I was introduced by my abovementioned girlfriend when they approached us in a pretty schmick bar in Kyoto one nigh. There was a lot of stuff she wouldnt talk about and that's a Red flag for me. No way no how, and as much as the escorts I met said it;s not prostitution - hello. Yes ofcourse it is if yo'ure going to take fur coats and giant precious stones from a lonely rich old sugar daddy, or fly in a private jet to some swank resort for the weekend just for your company.
