@benonwine I live here, in Toyama, and have since 1987. In short, yes. Of course, living and working here has its own issues, but if you have the money for an extended trip, it’s definitely an eye-opening experience. It is eminently…. civilized.
@themainichi How about the risks to slighting foreigners who get no bonuses even though they do the same work as the Japanese? What does your *expert* say about that? (This is why your ship is sinking. Stupid experts. Stupid reporting. Musk would destroy you all.)
@Reuters Surely ‘expressed regret’ looks like the Koreans were admitting fault, but the context seems to be that they were expressing disappointment, with the fault being on the Japanese side. ‘I regret your mistake.’ is clumsy at best. Please reword this.
