    The fact that Japanese players are more admired and supported by Japanese people now than when Nomo first came to MLB is not because Japanese culture has changed but because Japanese companies found a way to benefit from sending NPB players to MLB. Since Ichiro era, Japanese ball clubs started receiving compensation in terms of posting fee. Nippon Ham fighters received $51 million by sending Darvish to Rangers. Chiba Lotte was thinking the same thing by sending Sasaki once he turned to 25 years old. But because Sasaki wanted to come to MLB before he turned to 25 years old, he has been receiving undeserved criticism by Japanese media who are heavily influenced by powerful Japanese companies. Japan has changed a lot since I left Japan 40 years ago. But some area has never changed. I hope days will come in Japan when society truly respects and supports an individual will.

    .... As a Norwegian living in Bergen... most are just happy for warm summer days. If there are too many in a row, though, we start complaining (the city is known for its rain... though most so prefer sun over rain)... As for how we cope... Light summer clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Those thermos bottles that keep the water cold are also brilliant and very popular. I have also seen people use fans... but that is more an indoor thing (a fan that also sprays you with water can work together quite well). ... Personally, I find my umbrella just as brilliant on rainy days as on sunny days, and since it's an item I usually always bring with me... (As yet, it's not a common sight here.. to put it mildly. I dont really care about that, though, as long as I get my shade). .... It's 12 C outside right now (which is what it feels like as well), and tomorrow, we may get temperatures up to 21C. ...I've actually started to bring or even wear a light jacket/sweater for warmth (sometimes we get the northern wind and then the sunlight might be as warm as it wants to be, as the wind will feel bitingly cold on bare skin regardless). ... I had enough sun back in May... but this summer hasn't been too bad overall (I am very thankful for the Gulf Stream overall, though)

Right now, it's 18C, and the rain has stopped (we might have thunder and lightning as well, but I haven't noticed at least).. for the moment, the forecast is rain for the rest of the week. (And the average temperature will decrease to 15 in the daytime). ... On the other hand, I may be on my way to getting a cold, so there's that.

      Discrimination exists not only among international workers but also among Japanese employees, including full-timers, contract workers, and part-timers (haken). I've heard of cases where a female haken was sexually harassed by her manager. When it was reported to HR and upper management, they chose to sweep it under the carpet to save face and instead fired the haken. This happened a few months ago. A sad reality indeed.
