Why different emergency number for popo?

Having only one emergency number isn’t the standard everywhere in the world. In my childhood here in Austria I learned that the fire department is 122, the police is 133, ambulance is 144; these numbers still work AFAIK, but nowadays the government’s recommendation is to dial 112 (the EU-wide emergency number) no matter what you need.

Despite the old stereotype of Japan being a futuristic nation that produces the technology of tomorrow, a lot of it’s institutions are still using very outdated technology.

Fax is still very actively used

Read one time that “thirty years ago, Japan was ten years in the future. Today, Japan is twenty years in the past.”

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
