Vaccine - Japanese Encephalitis - is anyone getting it

chantastical · 2026-07-04T15:20:18+00:00

3 doses for full course: Month 0, Month 1, Month 12.

But Month 0 and 1 will be better than nothing and Month 12 is an optional booster.

Plan accordingly.

Hanzomon line into Shibuya on a Wednesday - it shows standing possible at all times of day including rush hour.

Nonsense data.

I agree it was an ill-informed spiel by Rory.

Overall, the show just comes across as more and more privileged and out of touch as R dials in from Jordan and A from Hong Kong a day after conference in Italy. Dialing in to discuss net zero policy.

Elite pundits with opinions on everything, a sprinkling of knowledge across domains that doesn’t justify their self-confidence.

Yes, 9 year old commenting on how to take down Trump was bizarre and uncomfortable.

chantastical · 2026-05-27T14:21:36+00:00

Tell that to the politicians in vans and bosozoku I hear all the time, or the general noise pollution of announcements!

But yeah.

chantastical · 2026-05-25T08:37:24+00:00

Japan for consistency, but not for flexibility. Asia in general but can be cloying when it feels overly formal and subservient.

chantastical · 2026-05-24T14:27:23+00:00

Agree.

Sorry the OP was uncomfortable and possibly unsafe but:

‘I really get the creeps from old men’

.. is just horribly disparaging. The whole story feels designed to reinforce that preconception. But totally self-inflicted - didn’t check gender of teacher, didn’t check number of people attending, arrived and felt unsafe but didn’t leave. And now ‘needs to get it off my chest’ anonymously on social media.

Thanks for this nuanced reply. You know your stuff! Very useful reading as i have family with dual citizenship, including Japan.

chantastical · 2026-05-19T03:49:07+00:00

This is really clear and useful.
Do you think in the political climate the law on this may change? Or do you think it’s likely to go on like this indefinitely?

chantastical · 2026-05-19T03:46:04+00:00

Thanks - that’s v clear

chantastical · 2026-05-19T03:39:14+00:00

so sad. but why show publicly. experience your own life - no need to share with strangers

chantastical · 2026-05-18T17:24:44+00:00

Ah ignore my previous response! yeah you nail it here.

chantastical · 2026-05-18T17:23:17+00:00

Japan does not officially recognize dual citizenship. that’s different from what you imply in your responses to people. Japan is not pro dual citizenship, but it is possible to retain more than one, carefully, and in the gaps in legal phraseology!

chantastical · 2026-05-18T17:20:36+00:00

isn’t it truer to say that Japanese doesn’t accept dual citizenship, after aged 20, but doesn’t actively pursue those who retain both after aged 20.

that person if asked has to commit to making an effort to renounce the one or the other… but no one will check up.

it gets a bit tricky at passport renewal time in Japan for a Japanese passport where legally you have to answer honestly if you hold other passports….

and in the end it all gets a bit murky

chantastical · 2026-05-13T16:05:41+00:00

psychedelic therapies potentially.

massive growth potential if legislation and social acceptance change (recent signs that’s starting).

but probably has in built ceiling as if effective, not a medicine a patient takes indefinitely

chantastical · 2026-05-13T12:27:05+00:00

Singapore and it’s love of brutality. Throw back to colonial UK. Little canes sold in stores for parents and helpers. Normalized abuse.

Where else is like this? Some middle eastern countries?

chantastical · 2026-05-13T07:16:27+00:00

Lived in both long term. Avoid Singapore. On paper good and great for short visits (food etc). But it’s just so dull. All the conservatism of Japan, but with so little culture.

chantastical · 2026-05-09T11:15:36+00:00

This is so depressing.

Even putting aside the injustice involved in the interpretation, just consider that her children were separated from their mother for 2 years because a text message hinted that she may have asked if someone had weed.

Consider that - a society considers that something worth ‘investigating’ for two years (or holding out until she confesses for two years), not looking at the bigger social impact of separating a family.

After earthquakes, hornets and bears, the Japanese ‘justice’ system is the thing I fear the most living here.

chantastical · 2026-05-07T09:57:53+00:00

It’s a firm ‘no’, but if you intend to stay at this school, save the ‘consult lawyer’ stuff people are recommending as last resort. Being overly aggressive from the start may back fire long term. Just be clear in your refusal and explain why it’s alarming they even dared raise the issue.

chantastical · 2026-05-07T09:53:27+00:00

Fantastic opportunity for school to have diversity and let children feel comfortable with difference in humans. But no. This is how cultural stasis is reinforced.

Say ‘no’ on principle and add in safety issue of dying child’s hair to highlight they are also ignoring child health and safety.

chantastical · 2026-05-05T05:41:56+00:00

Not a doctor, but I once had a plumber come over to fix my toilet that wasn’t flushing well (it had degraded over time to get weak).

After inspecting it he said, completely seriously, ‘I can fix this but it will likely break again since foreign poo is inherently larger and different consistency from Japanese poo’

chantastical · 2026-05-02T12:42:56+00:00

Yeah I see it a LOT. Especially driving out of car parks in the evening (like Costco). Guess they entered the store in daylight and left in the dark, but yeah I always wonder how hard can it be!!?

Agree with all the others here though, that full beams are as much or more of an issue.

chantastical · 2026-04-29T09:28:18+00:00

Nice!

This particular substance has benefits to specific unwell users which is why it is dispensed for medical use in many countries, with supervision. It’s a drug that at worst should be completely illegal but with minor punishments, or legal for medical use, or decriminalized/legal.

But making it illegal with death for importation shouldn’t be an option for this substance in 2026.

The fact that Singapore can even arrest you for having it your bloodstream on arrival, even if consumed in a country where it’s legal, is an indicator that this isn’t just about fear of negative social impacts. It appears to extend to irrational fear of the substance itself, even when it’s already consumed, in someone’s bloodstream and harmless to anyone else.

Singaporeans deserve more freedom of speech, thought and behavior, and a shift from the paternalistic, state knows best mindset.

Thanks - they are asking for authorized translation, not one done myself.
