why is japan so dusty?

It`s dusty (or was dusty earlier this week) because of winds blowing sand and dust from the Asian continent. It happens almost every year, and only lasts a few days.

♡There are some homeless in Japan just like in about any other country. I see two or three of them at my station everyday! Japan is no different than other countries and I personally don't think Japan is particularly 'wealthy' either. \nAre there homeless in Japan you ask? Take a look:\nhttp://growabrain.typepad.com/growabrain/homeless.jpg\nhttp://www.sushicam.com/2003%20Journal%20entries/June%202003/030616/CRW_6997.jpg\nhttp://www.agencymh.cz/foto/photographs/martin_hladik/homeless0003.jpg\nhttp://metropolis.japantoday.com/tokyofeaturestories/386/pics/homeless02.jpg\nThe men I see at my station cover themselves with and sleep on newspapers and benches, use the station restrooms, carry all their belongings with them and pretty much keep to themselves. So YES, unfortunately, there are (many) homeless in Japan.♡\nNOTE: I volunteer at the handicap resident center here where I live and they GO OUT ALL THE TIME! They go shopping, to restaurants, hot spring, parks, just about everywhere! I have the pictures to prove it. There are also handicap parking spaces just about everywhere. I see ramps for wheel chairs, handicap restrooms, hand rails... You name it!

Japan hired a coach who can't even speak Japanese. \nIt's all about skill.

Environmental ones I guess. It's pretty dirty over there.

It is NOT "the  rain in Spain is mainly on the plane," but "the rain in Spain is mainly in the plain." AND, the plain is dirty simply because it is full of dirt.

Probably because some of the air particles become trapped in your clothes, so they aren't completely released in the air to disperse.

No because it has come the ocean bottum, via volcanos. Japan will get larger.

Different strokes for differest folks.  Japan is a very closed society.  They strive to be racially pure.  It is even very difficult for Koreans and/or chinese to spend a lot of time in Japan.  I lived in Japan for two years and was treated with great respect and felt that I was accepted in most if not all situations.  However, marriage between races is definately frowned upon.  England is a much more open society without many of the social restrictions which Japan places on their citizens.

When I first moved to Japan I was told about dust mite problems and given a handout about things to do in this case and also in the case of mold. I've never had the problem myself so I can just tell you a few of the main points. The dust mite itself is not harmful to us, the skin that it sheds in carpets, mats, futons...causes reactions as well as their feces, things like that and of course you get the mold and the mildew growing there as well. If you cleaned the dust mites out thoroughly you still may have a mold and mildew problem. That is also very common in Japan. If you can't afford to have your pillows and mats professionally cleaned, you may want to go to a coin laundry and use the GIANT machines they have to wash and then DRY everything VERY WELL that fits in the machines. This step is important. It should help. You'll want to do a major cleaning job every 6 months or so and use an antiseptic spray on everything. If you try to use your own vacuum make sure it has a "hepa filter" and remember the  suction may not be strong enough, so it's possible you'll only bring allergens to the surface. The stronger the better in this case. Other tips: \nReplace your pillows once a year or put it in the freezer for an hour to kill dust mites.\nDo not use a steam vac because it causes mold.\n\n♡Wish I could have been more help, good luck and I hope you can get everything taken care of. Have you tried to ask the owner of the house for help? Please try to ask, many times they will share the cleaning costs with you and maybe try to help you out. It's worth a try.♡ EDIT: If the children have stuffed/plush dolls they all need to be cleaned or washed and dried very well also.

supposely true..korean and japan folks are known for their cleanliness anyway,besides i read in the newspaper that the fans actually did so, which made the job easier for the people who were hired to do so (i forgot what they are called)..
