 men" - which is exactly how we get treated for a short while until the J-girls manage to snag their Japanese salaryman.
I never came here to become one of those panty-chasing men, but I've certainly found that by dropping my moral standards has assisted me romantically here. 
Most J-girls just don't want to be seen dating me in public, but have no problems coming over for the horizontal mamba out of the public eye - before throwing me away like a dirty whore.
That description reminds me of what I saw during my time in Kyoto--28 year old women who dressed and acted like they were 58.

nottu, I lived in Kyoto for 5 years--I was talking about EVERY WOMAN in the god-forsaken city! And it's something I never experienced living in Tokyo or Nagoya.

Sorry if it offends. For the record, i'd rate myself at as about a 2, maybe a 3 on a good day.Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Bohdan, believes that the opening of the farmland market for sale can turn Ukraine into one of the leading agricultural states in the world.
"We can triple agricultural production over five years. We can build processing plants, develop a strong agrarian country that does not have any polluting technologies," he said on the Freedom of Speech by Savik Shuster program on the Ukraina TV Channel during a discussion with leader of the Batkivschyna faction Yulia Tymoshenko, who said that the Verkhovna Rada would begin the consideration of the bill on the land market on November 12.
Bohdan is convinced that it is impossible to deprive Ukrainians of the right to dispose their land, which was revoked in 1917.
"Before that [1917] some 70 million people lived in Ukraine. As soon as Ukrainians were deprived of the right to own land, they went to Canada, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, improved the whole world. All these countries became agrarian, they all work, earn and are proud that there Ukrainians own the land. So let's give an opportunity to our Ukrainians and other people, Canadians, Argentines who come here and work, who have money, technology and who have the opportunity to work in Ukraine and show great results," he said.
The official noted that according to the proposed bill the citizens of Ukraine will have the prerogative for the purchase of land during more than four years.OBA Saheed Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi in Lagos State, has urged Nigerians to embrace local fabrics, especially the “Adire”, which he said can compete favourably with world quality fabrics.
He said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, following his endorsement of the forthcoming Africa Fashion Week in London and Nigeria.
The traditional ruler said Nigeria’s local fabrics especially the Adire could stand the test of time with other world fabrics.
“I have been part of the African Fashion Week for a long time and attest to their professionalism.
”I appreciate what the organisers are trying to do with the African Fashion and showcasing ‘Adire’, which explains why I must endorse their upcoming fashion show,” he said.
He noted that despite challenges from various angles to imitate Nigerian local fabrics, it would not be easy for ‘Adire’ to be entirely imitated because of it’s original man made form.
“Adire is uniquely African, it is our own. It can’t be completely imitated, this is why I am supporting our local fabrics and any promoter as Africa Fashion Week is doing.
“We need to promote Adire because it symbolises Africa and what we represent, diversity which is our strength of unity.
“I see our Ankara project as an economic opportunist, job creation and foreign exchange earner.
“Adire is a unique fabric to us and we can only tell our story behind it ourselves and in our own way,” he told NAN.
Elegushi commended the effort of government and private bodies and called for increase in their support.
“It is important for government to see the opportunities available. If we are looking for diversification of our economy, every available means should be explored.
“We need to look at encouraging the manufacturers, give access to loans, give waivers where necessary.
“The stakeholders should also support platforms like the African Fashion Week to showcase our people and what we intend to sell beyond Nigeria and to the world,” he said.
He urged everyone to support the Adire which he said was the nation’s own brand.
“Let’s embrace it, the foreign fabrics don’t add anything different, we wear the same thing over and over.
“Our local fabrics bring uniqueness in style and design and the youths have something to choose from, our own pride, our beautiful heritage,” he said.
He also commended Princess Ronke Ademiluyi, for her promotion of culture through her several projects.
Her projects include, Africa Fashion Week, London and Nigeria; Queen Moremi Ajasoro annual contest; Oodua Adire Hub and lots more.
NAN reports that the theme of the Africa Fashion Week Nigeria and London 2022 is “The Adire Culture”, starting with awareness, discussions and workshops in Lagos from Sept.7 to Sept. 9.
Also, “Adire for export” to showcase at African Fashion Week London in October during Black History Month, in trying to position Adire as one of the non oil exports of Nigeria.
