Better do a piece on Fukushima to get people's minds back on Japan!
All South Korean airlines – both full-service and budget carriers – now have cut back their flights to Japan amid escalating trade tensions between the two neighboring countries after Air Seoul Inc., Korea’s fledgling low-cost carrier with hefty reliance on Japanese destinations, has decided to suspend and reduce its operations to Japan. https://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?year=2019&no=627126Following Korean carriers’ decision to roll back flights to Japan, each company has cut more than 180,000 seats monthly heading to Japan so far, which totals to about 2 million seats a year. Carriers rolling back flights to Japan plan to instead expand services to China and Southeast Asia to make up for their losses from rolling back their flights to Japan.
Prediction: More people visiting the Olympics will die of heat stroke OR transportation accidents OR "misadventure" than anything to do with Fukushima radiation.
I came back to Korea and am treated to a few banners in my small city with 'Don't go to Japan, Don't buy anything Japanese'. So did some reading up and realised it was just another childish thing that the Koreans and Japanese have, but this time started by the Japanese. It doesn't take much.

Don't state facts about Germany and their payments if you did not do your research properly!They have been paying a monthly pension to any of their proud Belgian, German, Austrian and Polish Nazi SS-soldiers still alive for instance. 75 years x 1000 eurosx12= 900.000 per Nazi- granddad/grandma.

While it's true that Germany pays a livable pension for its veterans (unlike, say, the USA), Germany has also paid over 60 Billion dollars to its war crime victims. Not too many other countries have done anything even remotely similar.For some context: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/05/10/world/germany-defends-pensions-for-ss-veterans.htmlAlso, while the video is a bit disturbing, I feel like that lady looks as though she might be a sandwich short of a picnic.
