I was stopped by the police this morning for turning left on a red light while riding my road bike.
Surprisingly the officer spoke very good English. He let me off with a warning.

Our floor is solid. I think it was under 5000 a square meter. Its cypress with knots, but they're smaller and much lighter in colour than the knots in pine.
The individual planks are 120mm wide but 3.6 meters long, so there aren't many joins and lots of continuous grain. If knots in wood bother you, its going to be a non starter though.
Here's a selection of mostly imported solid flooring. If the budget is tight, cheap wood flooring comes in narrow pieces and in short random lengths joined together. If you want wide pieces of wood that are continuous for say a couple of meters, then yes, you'll have to pay big for a prestiguous wood. For bits that are 90mm wide and joins every 50cm or so, some solid hardwoods aren't expensive.

I don't know what this company are like for flooring but we bought some marble tiles off them for around our woodstove. Marble might sound super blingy and expensive but it was 7500 a square meter for a massive two and a half square meters. That wouldn't break the budget of many builds.
We used flooring Sanwa Company in 3 rooms in our house.
If you are buying a house or reforming, their free catalog can help greatly. They sell mostly quality imported items.
Does this mean that some of their products are sub standard?
TB - that was my disclaimer in case anyone buys something from there and they are not happy with the quality

So Wigan are relegated, it's a shame because I have grown to like them as a kind of second team.

The second and more “official” way to calculate your pregnancy is through lunar months or weeks. This is the method that most doctors use, and the method by which most experts measure fetal development. How does it work? Each lunar month consists of four weeks, of seven days each. A “normal” pregnancy will last 280 days from the date of your last menstrual period. And here’s the confusing part – that means your pregnancy will be 40 weeks or ten “months” long, measuring in terms of lunar months.

I remember both Naeba & Kagura having a Skyline course and maybe a Challenge course from my recent visit.

I think there's a legal requirement that every resort in Japan has a Shirakaba course
As well as Skyline & Champions

when i first arrived in Japan, the best japanese I used was
"hitomi ni kanpai"
A translation would probably sound like Humphrey Bogart saying "Here's looking at you kid"
