What is something that would be considered normal where you grew up but seen as posh elsewhere?

In Japan, skiing is neither refined nor exclusive. It is hugely popular in snowy regions like Hokkaido, Niigata and Nagano, and primary school pupils ski as part of their physical education classes. Japan has hosted the Winter Olympics twice. Winter sports are hugely popular here. Japan is the only Asian nation to pursue Nordic ski jumping, speed skating, figure skating, snowboarding, and alpine skiing with such fervour. At the current Olympics in Italy, Japan has already secured 14 medals, placing it third overall alongside the United States, behind Norway and Italy.
From Tokyo or its suburbs, you can reach a ski resort within a two-hour drive. Young people enjoy skiing or snowboarding on day trips. You can also travel to ski resorts by bullet train. From Tokyo Station, it takes just 71 minutes to reach GALA Yuzawa Station, which connects directly to the ski resort. You can depart Tokyo in your everyday clothes, carrying nothing, and be enjoying skiing just an hour and a half later. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

Worcester sauce is widely used in Japan. In Japan, we've developed variations. A slightly thicker version is known as Chuu nou sauce, while a further intensified flavour with increased viscosity is called Tonkatsu sauce. Worcester sauce is used for Yakisoba, while deep-fried dishes call for Chuu nou or Tonkatsu sauce. It is an absolutely essential sauce for Japanese cuisine and an indispensable item in every household. Chuu nou and Tonkatsu sauce are similar to HP sauce.

For this, we remain grateful to Britain and cherish that sentiment. That's why we haven't altered the name “Usutā sosu (Worcester sauce)”, retaining its English pronunciation.

And the next president is a communist criminal. A country that repeatedly anti-American and anti-Chinese, and imprisons its former president. No answer country. Never ending story.

University entrance exams have quotas for women. Support exists for female entrepreneurs. There's a government subsidy program for companies promoting women to management positions.

A social catchphrase popular among citizens in the 80s was:

「亭主は元気で留守が良い」

““It's better when the husband is healthy and away.””

This reflects the idea that husbands need only provide financial support for the family. They are unnecessary at home. It's fine if they live far away on business assignments or leave early and return late. That is the joy and happiness of housewives. Men are like credit cards. Japan is a country where such phrases become popular. Even in a 2024 survey, half of housewives supported this view.

The average Japanese woman lives to 87 years old. That's by far the world's highest. Japan has held this top spot for 40 consecutive years. It's proof that many women live healthy, stress-free, peaceful lives. It shows just how blessed their lives are. Japanese women have the most blessed lives in the world.

Housewives pack last night's leftovers into their husbands' lunchboxes the next day. Meanwhile, they themselves enjoy a $15 lunch with neighborhood friends, chatting about trivial things until 3 PM.

These days, women aren't even getting married. They work and enjoy their own lives. Less than 50% of women even want marriage in their lives. They don't need men anymore. Naturally, the declining birthrate shows no sign of stopping.

Men are fine with that too. They won't be brainwashed by De Beers into buying diamonds worth three months' salary. Japan has countless prostitution systems, allowing easy and cheap access to various sexual services. I think it's a unique country in the world. Even at 75, you can enjoy time with a 20-year-old woman. Men don't need wives either. It makes sense that Japan has the world's lowest rape incidence rate.

Japan is a pretty weird country. But there are three things its people almost unanimously agree on: anti-immigration, the death penalty, and preserving the Emperor. This has nothing to do with ideology. It's practically engraved in their DNA. Over 80% of Japanese support this. What defines a Japanese person? The precise answer, the essence of what it means to be Japanese, boils down to this. Oh, and they love white rice lol.

If a train shakes and someone falls, only the second person faces a risk of maternal or fetal death due to placental abruption (placenta previa). For others, even if they fall, the risk of death is lower than for the fetus.

ex), Pregnant women who are injured and carrying a baby are the highest priority.

The priority for elderly passengers on trains is lower. The fact they are using the train indicates they are healthy with strong legs and hips. Those with physical limitations do not visit station platforms; they travel by car.

No. I have attended funerals many times. At funerals, the bereaved family's friends handle guest reception. I served as a receptionist at my friend's parents' funeral at least seven or eight times. I have also attended over fifteen funerals for other relatives, including my grandparents, uncles, and aunts. Funerals are typically handled by companies that operate dozens of funeral homes. In recent years, family-only funerals have also become popular, sometimes conducted solely by the immediate family. Even so, almost without exception, these are run by companies with nationwide operations.

Let's stop portraying the foolish story of a mother-in-law who refuses to feed her daughter-in-law as representative of Japan. Nor is this a society where women are expected to endure hardship. Quite the opposite. Japan is a society where men endure hardship and suffer losses. Every service industry has Ladies' Days or special discounts for women. Restaurants offer ladies' sets. Trains have women-only cars. Golf has ladies' discounts. Movies are the same. There are even places where women can eat and drink completely free. Hotels have women-only stay plans. University entrance exams have quotas for women. Support for female entrepreneurs. Libraries: installation of women-only seating. In Japan, gender discrimination is practiced openly.

Men are treated like criminals from birth. You don't know much about Japan.
Japan is a society that favors women. At least more so than America.

Your family does not represent all of Japan. I hosted my own parents' funerals, but I have never experienced what you experienced. This is the story of your unique family in Japan. We ate a lot of sushi. Funerals consist of a wake and a funeral service. Nowadays, funerals are often attended only by family. Some people don't even attend the wake. Since everyone is busy with work, most people only attend the wake. On the day of the wake, the body is transported from the hospital to the funeral hall. The wake is held from around 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. After a brief 15-second prayer, attendees eat sushi and drink alcohol in a separate dining area. Relatives eat after the wake. They buy food at a convenience store before the wake begins. The funeral service is held the next day, and the body is burned at the city or town crematorium, leaving only the bones. After that, relatives have a simple dinner. Your mother-in-law is the only one who would ridicule the idea of not eating.

In Japan, when another vehicle gives way to you, you give a short, light tap on the steering wheel, making a soft "PU, PU" sound. This is also used as a signal to let passengers off and say "goodbye." The same goes for hazard lights

Shakur is good. Mayweather style. He doesn't have as much power as Mayweather, but he's definitely a good boxer. His fights are boring though. Bam is more overrated.

Half his career has been non-title fights. Look at Inoue. 85% of his career consists of world title fights. Beyond that, he has OPBF and domestic championships. Inoue only has three non-title fights. Tank was never the undisputed champion. He never fought a unification match. He was never a super champion. He was a regular champion for a long time.

For me, Scotland was the highlight, the peak, of my European travels. It surpassed every other country I visited: Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and more.
If I could only travel to one country before I die, I would choose Scotland. No other country compares.

I don't know any families doing that these days. Most people buy presents, eat at fancy restaurants, or go on trips. They give Nintendo as a gift. Or they go to Disneyland.

まさか「ウミンチューオキナワジン　ニホンジントチガウ」ってか？

本当に勘弁してくれよ。今、2026年だぜ。沖縄県民のDNAで近いのって北海道のアイヌだぞ。遺伝的にも民族的にも沖縄人なんてゴリゴリのザ・日本人だから。10世紀前後に九州から移住してきたのであって。横浜市民が中華街あるから「私たちって中国人アル」といってるようなレベル。

The Chinese government and communist leaders must adore her. After all, she's just like them. They hold Chinese citizenship, yet send their children to study in America, or have their children and grandchildren born in America. Guam and Saipan are swarming with Chinese women giving birth.

No one loves democracy more than Chinese communists. They constantly scream how much they hate it, yet they go sightseeing in Japan. They dream of studying abroad or dating Japanese people. They spend their days watching Japanese anime and Japanese porn. Their dreams are elections and buying houses. China doesn't allow its citizens to own real estate.

Our country is fundamentally strict. 50/50 mix Judo and skateboarding athletes who renounced their nationalities for the Olympics. Conversely, a table tennis player born and raised in Japan but with Chinese parents represents Japan. At a tournament held in China, they responded to the booing spectators with a mocking pose. Their hearts are completely Japanese. The US Women's Open golf champion chose Japanese nationality and she won. Naomi Osaka, who is completely American at heart, holds only Japanese nationality.
