Japan's long-awaited reopening: First tourists allowed to visit since 2020

Description

Japan was one of the last countries in the world to keep its borders shut to foreign tourists because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but that is slowly changing. The government is cautiously taking steps to revive tourism. But in a crucial election year and with the border restrictions popular among voters, it's a tricky balancing act for Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. We speak to Professor Seijiro Takeshita from the University of Shizuoka.

  • Japanese tourists visit Baikonur launch pad ahead of Maezawa flight to ISS

    Japanese tourists, relatives, friends, and members of Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa's team visit the launchpad in Baikonur, Kazakhstan where a Russian Soyuz rocket launch will send Maezawa and his production assistant Yozo Hirano to the International Space Station, marking Russia's return to space tourism after a decade-long pause that saw the rise of competition from privately held US companies. Their journey aboard the three-person Soyuz spacecraft piloted by cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin will take just over six hours, capping a banner year that many have seen as a turning point for private space travel.

  • La folie des machines à pince à Taïwan ! #shorts

    Qui n'a jamais eu envie d'acheter sa lessive avec une pince ? Il y a un truc qui nous fait rire à Taïwan, c'est que tu ne peux pas faire cinquante mètres sans tomber sur des magasins avec des peluches, des distributeurs, des pièces, des pinces. Sauf qu'aujourd'hui, plus personne n'a de pièces sur soi, et la plupart de ces magasins sont donc vides. En fait, la plupart de ces magasins sont un peu vides parce que les gens n'ont pas le cas sur eux. Taïwan aussi est en proie à la folie du gachapon, comme dans plusieurs autres pays d'Asie. Les machines proposent tantôt des peluches sans intérêt et de mauvaise facture, tantôt des objets qui attirent l'oeil et ne demandent qu'à être collectionnés. Malgré tout, la probabilité de parvenir à attraper ces objets reste très faible, à cause du manque de puissance de ces pinces.
