Contraception in Japan: Getting an IUD
Submitted by aciara14 on Sun, 2012-02-05 23:04Editor's note: For those of you considering contraception options in Japan or are wondering about or considering getting an IUD (intrauterine device), Leah Zoller is here to explain everything you need to know. -Ashley
Although the Pill is quite popular in the US, getting the Pill in Japan or having medication sent from home can be a hassle. It’s stressful if you can only get a month’s supply at a time, expensive if you’re buying and shipping pills from home without health insurance, and troublesome for overseas travel.

Health; Vinegar - Does it really kill household germs?
Submitted by alwaysagaijin on Sun, 2012-02-05 12:13 Vinegar – once used by our grandmothers to clean the home – is hip again.
A new generation is squirting it around their kitchens and bathrooms, eager to use a cheap and green alternative to the cleaning products on the supermarket shelves.
Vinegar is certainly inexpensive, non-toxic and biodegradable. But does it really kill household germs?
The answer is a qualified 'yes'. It's not as effective as commercial cleaners but it's still a useful disinfectant.

The "Problem" with Japan
Submitted by aonghascrowe on Sun, 2012-02-05 11:06Whenever I hear politicians and commentators fret over Japan’s low birth rate and its implications for the viability of the pension system, I can’t help but ask the hell the country’s “leaders” have been doing for the past thirty years. When the pension system was set up, Japan still had a relatively young population where each retiree was supported by half a dozen or so workers paying into the pension scheme. As Japan developed and become wealthier, however, life expectancies were extended and the birthrate fell.

Submitted by Ken Seeroi on Sun, 2012-02-05 11:06Speaking fluent Japanese is easy. You only need three things: 1. A bunch of words 2. A bit of grammar 3. To think in Japanese While the first two points get a lot of attention, the third point is equally, if not more, important.
The Incredibly Shrinking Nation
Submitted by aonghascrowe on Sun, 2012-02-05 10:56
In 2004 Japan’s population peaked at 127.8 million people[1]. Because the fertility rate[2] in Japan has remained far below the 2.2 or so needed to maintain a population, the population has been falling steadily. If nothing changes, the population of Japan is predicted to fall to less than 90 million by the year 2055.

Will TPP open the door to Frankenstein food in Japan? - This Is A WORRY!
Submitted by alwaysagaijin on Sun, 2012-02-05 08:36TOKYO (majirox news) — Genetically modified crops and organisms (GM and GMOs), according to their promoters, offer greater efficiency in production, resistance against disease and pests, and overall greater profitability for all.

Japanese Mythology - The Birth of Japan
Submitted by peteable on Sat, 2012-02-04 16:49So it was Izanagi and and his younger sister, Izanami, who gave birth to the islands of Japan. To help them with this little chore, they were given the Heavenly Jeweled Spear, named Ame no Nuboko. They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and churned the sea with said awesome spear. Drops of salty water formed the island, Onogoro, and they made their home on the island.
