The world of Japanese culture is a constantly changing thing, from the news to the politics to the very language itself, and thread is where I seek to help show a more complete picture of life in Japan, as well as the role the language plays around the world. Rules: arrow Here, multiple postings by the same author are allowed, with one caveat: Only one information post-IE link sharing-per person, per day. Otherwise the same rules about multiple postings still apply
arrow It can be a link from a news site, or something concerning the language and/or culture you find interesting
arrow This is a politically neutral zone. I will allow no one to be chastised for being a Damn Dirty Dem or Right Rotten Republican(or whatever persuasion you fall under)
