When I was in high school, it was treated as a kind of joking to marry 2 dimensional characters. But now, amid the trend that diverse forms of marriage like gay-couples or lesbian-couples are authorized somewhere around the world, we have to discuss this kind of marriage sincerely.

Isolated metro lines can often be seen in Chiba's cities under subway extension. It shows how metro systems are needed as early as possible, which means each metro section is inaugurated just after construction is completed.

One of the biggest reason that I hesitate to live overseas is absence or lack of spa. It's an important factor, considering that I make it a rule to pay a visit to spa on every weekend.
But, Budapest seems to be free from my concern about spa. The city has more than a dozen of spa.

It surprised me that he referred to foreigners working in Japan.
It would have been reflected by the upcoming issue that some foreigners who were invited to Japan as trainees are forced to work under minimum wage and in extremely long working hours.
I hope the emperor's quotation will help solving the issue at faster pace.
Japan's Osaka and Tokyo ranked in top 10. In terms of many aspects, I can agree with this result, except for the fact that these cities are bothered with extreme heat during summer and relatively longer working hours. The former one would be difficult for human beings to control but the latter one can be changed by us.
I would like to expect these 2 cities will be ranked higher.
Before invention of satellite location system, it would be difficult for pilots to fly directly to their destinations.
Then, compass and communication with ground staff were nearly the only way to know where they were.
In such a situation, it's impossible for passengers to know their locations on board, which would have decreased my entertainment on board.
Our safe and enjoyable flight owe to an accurate location system of the aircrafts.
Though Mumbai still has suburban rail systems, metro lines paralleling with them seem to be built.
It will be needed to mitigate crowded trains on those suburban lines.
On the other hand, Pune, the city which is 130km away from Mumbai, seems to build Pune Metro Line 3.
I wish there would be an intercity metro line between Mumbai and Pune, though it's difficult to say Pune is the suburban city of Mumbai.
I guess these 2 cities will be connected by expansion of suburban areas of both cities. Then, each metropolitan areas will overlap.
If that happens, the intercity metro line won't be a delusive rail.
