Tanshin-funin is a practice often seen in Japanese companies. It describes the act of employees leaving their family behind to take up a new post in another city or country, often for a span of two or three years. The main reasons why families are not brought along are: the children's schooling, the need to care for elderly parents, possessing one's own home, and a spouse's job. When children are at high school, changing schools is not really possible. It is because, since high school education is not compulsory, mid-year enrolment is not accepted. Moving becomes very difficult when you have elderly parents to look after. When you have your own home, there are the issues of property management. Even if your spouse has a job, companies don't take this into consideration, and so the only choices are that they have to quit or they live apart. (147 words)

Japanese say that they place great importance on the seasons, but I cannot but think that Japanese cuisine, in fact, pays little attention to them. Fruits and vegetables, which haven't fully ripened, are harvested early. Moreover, even though they aren't so delicious, they are ridiculously expensive because they are hard to come by out of season. Seasons in Europe are far more clearly defined. Asparagus come into season in early summer, as do mushrooms and wild game in autumn, oysters and scallops in winter. My mouth starts to water just thinking about them. In Japan, scallops can be found year round, which is simply due to the advancement of freezing technology. I'm not sure if this is good news.
