The city's many districts are distinct in character presenting a mix of shrines, shopping areas (especially electronics), museums, temples, pottery shops, finance districts, the Tokyo Disney Resort, and cuisine from around the world as well as authentic Japanese cuisine. The tourist will not have much difficulty getting around with public signs and names in Romanised characters, and transport within the city best on its efficient mass rapid transport system, bus, bike and even on foot. Taxis and cars are less recommended because of the city's overloaded traffic.

Last night, I had to undergo another general checkup for an insurance company. One insurance company already rejected my application last year due to breast lumps. Even if I went to a specialist and that specialist issued a report that it’s nothing serious, they still rejected it anyway. My company’s life insurance [...]

Today, AOL ran commentaries on American health care and whether the new proposals will make a difference. The comment of one CEO who runs an enormous health provider, caught my eye. As I read it, I thought “he is talking about the USA, but the exact same thoughts apply to Qatar, to Kuwait, to Germany, where an epidemic of self-inflicted health problems is growing wildly.” And it also occurs to me that he is laying the accountability squarely where it belongs – on our...

Since my February medical update, I have indeed pursued if I would get any support from our insurance with household help, because technically I cannot do my job right now and Ritsu, besides being between 2 major workshops, has to do a lot of the stuff that usually I should be doing.
