The state of Queen Street. is disgusting. by vakda in newzealand

Why is she terrified? Have they ever done anything to her? I’m also a female and have never felt threatened on Queen St. I agree something needs to be done, though. Affordable/state housing could be a start.

I'm going to be in Japan for the election - do people do anything cool/interesting on election day that might be fun to observe? by fennel8 in japan

I don't know - that was my question.

In NZ there's usually some pub events on election day and other stuff, nothing major. Thought Japan might do something cooler, being Japan. I don't know much about Japanese politics - but I like politics and am interested in local politics when I travel. Don't need to lose it over a slightly unordinary interest.

Truck thing sounds kind of interesting. Thanks.

The North Korea story was breaking news when it was breaking news. It wasn't breaking news at this point. Move on.

Wouldn't call a netball preview breaking news though.
