Not seen it but it seems to have to lots of bad reviews.
SFX in the trailer look cool though.

I will be there no worries.

I think it will be October or later before we know how this looks like panning out. People who are still interested in Japan, the ones I know anyway, are just holding back and waiting.

I probably won't have any problems visiting again, but now isn't the time for me to be making any decision. I usually make them in November anyway.

Missed that when it was in the main section, glad I noticed it now.
Thanks dyna.
Might be making a trip there when I'm in Tokyo.

I would say that Myoko / Nozawa / Shiga Kogen is an excellent "ski trip" to Japan.

Get better soon.

(AP) A pregnant woman in south China was detained, beaten and forced to have an abortion just a month before her due date because the baby would have violated the country's one-child limit, her husband said Thursday.
Construction worker Luo Yanquan said his wife was taken kicking and screaming from their home by more than a dozen people on Oct. 10 and detained in a clinic for three days by family planning officials, then taken to a hospital and injected with a drug that killed her baby.
Family planning officials told the couple they weren't allowed to have the child because they already have a 9-year-old daughter, Luo said.
For the last 30 years, China has limited most urban couples to just one child in a bid to curb population growth and conserve its limited resources. China has the world's largest population, with more than 1.3 billion people. Couples that flout the rules face hefty fines, seizure of their property and loss of their jobs.

The Associated Press reported on October 21 that government officials in China had taken a woman from her home during her eighth month of pregnancy and forcibly aborted her baby.The report cited a statement made by the woman’s husband, Luo Yanquan — identified as a construction worker — who said that his wife “was taken kicking and screaming from their home by more than a dozen people on October 10 and detained in a clinic for three days by family planning officials, then taken to a hospital and injected with a drug that killed her baby.â€
The AP report cited a statement from an official with the Siming district family planning commission, the agency that regulates pregnancies in Luo's neighborhood, who confirmed there was a record of Luo's wife, Xiao Aiying, undergoing an abortion recently but claimed that the procedure was voluntary. The same official, who refused to give his name, also claimed that Xiao was about six months pregnant at the time, instead of the eight months reported by the couple.
According to AP, the government official also asserted that Xiao's husband had approved the abortion, a claim Luo refutes. "I never signed anything. No one in our family did," he told AP by telephone from Xiamen. "I called the police but they said family planning issues weren't their responsibility. I want to sue, but lawyers I've asked here say they can't help me and the media won't report on our case."
Under China’s “one-child†policy, couples who have more than one child without government permission typically pay stringent fines, have their property seized, or lose their jobs. However, the government officially claims that forced abortions are banned.

Wasn't impressed. Though I'm not really a seafood expert. My friends go wild over it.

1, I have the Sony HDR-CX550V which is pretty sweet.
Can't think of much to say other than I'm very pleased with it.
Fabulous videos.
No problems at all.

Organised ones yes. But you are right - they probably note who doesn't lock their house and who doesn't have alarm systems etc.
-
Yes. Even so though a 'luxury' like that will surely be one of the things to get cut as people have less to spend.
-
Perhaps it has changed drastically.
It used to be buffet heaven for Package Families.

Time for lunch what to do.
Katsudon sounds good.
-
Good!
Though I'm not sure I agree on the food.
(Do you like find them anywhere Western-style buffets?)
