… In-flight Airbus Engine Stops

https://www.businessinsider.jp/post-206939

So, the engines of a state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 in flight stopped after a drink was spilled in the cockpit. A350-900 in flight, spilling a drink in the cockpit, the engine stopped. It is frightening. If both engines stop because the aircraft is in flight, it has to fly down with extra power like a glider, and if there is no airfield nearby, for example in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the only thing left to do is to crash.

Perhaps the spilled water flowed into the electrical circuit of the control unit and stopped the control function, but it had nothing to do with human life at all, but my phone also stopped completely due to water intrusion. I left it on the outer casing of my desktop computer, which gets quite warm, for about a week, thinking that since it didn't fall into the water with a plop, the water that got in was probably just a little bit, and if I dried the water slowly, it would return to normal. I thought it was completely dry, so I turned it on and it started up. Three cheers for me. Sorry, this is an unimportant story.

Japan ： "21 Attractions Foreign Tourists Miss After Returning Home （ Part 1 ）"

https://forbesjapan.com/articles/detail/29245?utm_source=YahooNews&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=yahoonews

Another story picked up from Yahoo Japan.

I find myself more than 50 years away from Japan. Therefore, I often agree with the things written in this article. On the other hand, I was born and lived in Japan until I became a working adult, so I don't like the so-called （ ） "Omotenashi" (hospitality) of Japan that foreign travelers are impressed by, especially at fast food restaurants, where the customer service is not from the heart, but is like a robot responding as instructed. I don't like it.

Furthermore, for example, when I pay 600 yen with a 1,000 yen bill, I really don't like the "kara" in "1,000 yen 'kara' itadakimasu". I have been to Japan many times, so I should be used to it, but I still feel resistance every time. Also, foreign travelers are impressed by the fact that the toilets everywhere they go are washlet, but my travels in Japan take me to the countryside, where Japanese-style toilets are common and in the worst cases, they are botton. Incidentally, people here call Japanese-style toilets "Squat Toilets. Another way to call a Japanese-style toilet is "Pit Toilet".

There are still some things that foreign travelers are impressed by, but I will leave them for another time.

You always say things that sound like you don't like Japanese people, but if you hate Japanese people that much, you shouldn't go there.

"America is the best after all ！," he always seems to say in the Japanese countryside where he stays on vacation.

Another story picked up from Yahoo Japan, yet again.

"What is "Premium Select" which is more satisfying than "Business Class" ？"

https://nikkan-spa.jp/1642326?cx_clicks_art_mdl=2_title

I am 5'6" 165cm tall, but the average height of young people today is probably taller than this. In addition, I am just barely a warrior, with a long torso, short legs and a large face, the opposite of a small face. Therefore, the most distinctive feature of Premium Economy, the roomy knee area, does not benefit much from it.

Furthermore, the seats in Premium Economy are made of more comfortable materials. Over all, they are said to be more comfortable than just economy seats, and the fatigue of traveling for about 20 hours to Japan and back will probably be different.

But since I only go to Japan once a year, I don't feel like paying 2 ～ $300 extra to sit comfortably for 20 hours during 365 days. Sad, isn't it, the guts of a rooted cheapskate.
