@RosemaryMosco in my neighborhood in Tokyo, barn swallows have chosen the same nesting location for the two years I’ve been here. The neighbors make sure no one messes with or misses the nest!

The lie I tell the most in Japan is “わかりました”

Some of the “solutions” mentioned here are WILD. Amazing to see the lengths policymakers will suggest to go to avoid facing the real problems of gender inequality

My latest piece for the Guardian on South Korea's desperate attempts to combat its record-low birthrate. In the past few days, we've seen controversial proposals put forward, igniting debates on modern-day slavery and gender equality. https://t.co/9LzSSXEm6v

⚾️🇯🇵what a ridiculous game! In our house it ended with me yelling “run, you giant man!” at Ohtani after that Murakami hit 😆

@YukariSakamoto @DeanandDeLucaJP Akasaka Ark Hills location (and the neighboring Dean and DeLuca Artisan Table) closed in the last year but the Tokyo Midtown—Akasaka location seems to be going strong

@Gaijinotousan I’ve also never experienced this! There have been times when people have moved away from the seat immediately next to me when seats have opened in the car as it gets less crowded so they’ve got more space but that seems fine and normal!

@davejorgenson It hadn’t occurred to me until really looking at this picture that you could cut spam the other direction into squares, thank you for this public service!

祝田門の震災対策用応急給水施設付近で、オオカンザクラが見頃となりました。桜の少ない日比谷公園で、最初に花を咲かせ、春が近いことを知らせてくれるので、人気を集め、フォトスポットとなっています。

@sim_nagra Just did this transfer 20 minutes ago and I knew I’d done it wrong (again) because I passed a guy who’d been on my same Yamanote train and we were going opposite directions ☹️

@anne_theriault The Te Papa museum mini store in the Wellington airport!

[Michelle Devoti @mrs_devoti]

I mean honestly the Judas Iscariot sounds the tastiest to me, but that feels weird on Ash Wednesday @anne_theriault

[Michelle Devoti @mrs_devoti]

Didn’t realize Kiwi cafe culture was a thing but after 4 days in Wellington, can confirm https://t.co/jrgjVfSDkg

@mondomascots Ohhhhhh I’ve only seen old ones with a cow (ox?) and was very confused! I’d decided it was like…a cattle car? Clearly Tameike-Sanno is not refreshing its poster collection often enough

Japan does such a good job with so many introduced foods, the folks that mastered wood-fired pizza here need to be brought on to fix bacon and sandwiches…

[Conbini Boys 🐣🍗 @conbiniboys]

When will someone tell Japan this is not bacon?
