    Paul’s drink apparently hit the shelves recently here in Japan (not in my rural corner but in urban areas). Because of japanese defamation laws, I can’t say anything (even saying something 100% provably true can get you sued here), but it sure would be a shame if people brought it up a lot in English and japanese on the internet a lot

      both korean and japanese people are some of the nicest people on planet earth but they wont let you walk over them this is why you stay with tourist groups and if you do want to go semi solo you should higher a native speaker this way you avoid breaking the law

            They have the death penalty. Imho any country with the death penalty is primitive and inadequate in terms of law. It’s that solution for when your legal system is unable to rehabilitate criminals or keep the population safe otherwise. There’s a reason why most countries with the death penalty are struggling poor African, middle eastern and south east asian nations. Some edge cases on developed countries too, of which Japan is one.

            Japanese law [is] so ass-backwards.

            Careful. No matter which country you’re comparing it against, the cherry-picking goes both ways. :-P
