But public transportation is excellent and lots of people don't own cars. So you can save there. |

| | HeMateMe: isn't it $5 for an orange or some god awful price? Why don't they all have scurvy, with such high prices for fresh fruit? Japan's a place where they should go to a one child policy for ten years, to lower the population and cost of living. |

| May-14-17 | | thegoodanarchist: I think seaweed is high in vitamin C, and they put that in/with many many things. Also, whatever vitamins are in Soba noodles, the Japanese get loads of. Soba is everywhere! |

The population is getting very old and they need young workers to fund the OAPs! They are a victim of longevity. |

| | HeMateMe: They bring in Asian guest workers to do the heavy lifting, young people from the PP, maybe Vietnam, Malay or Indonesia. Those people work as domestics, do low skilled labor, and don't get to become citizens. Japan leads the world in replacing humans with robotics for simple tasks. There is an Olympics coming up in Japan which will be interesting, as Japan's love affair with AI will be on full display. Hotel desks will be automated, with guest 'bots able to speak a hundred different languages and serve as info centers, perhaps 'walk' the athletes though the village. 'Bots will do cleaning and maintenance work in Olympic village buildings, perhaps even act as security. They will probably be the first country to have all hands-free driving in large cities, hands free mass transit--busses and underground trains will all be automated. |

Inedible seaweed is half the cost! So you can save money and stick to your diet. |
