Yumi in NZ ❤️Cats and Dogs in my wallet❤️

@nzpoliticsgroup 💯!!

@Yumi_Ord You’re right Yumi ! We’re getting done like a dinner.

EGGS ON TOAST ALERT - CAFE EXTORTION 🚨🚨🚨 Yes, you read that correctly. Two miserable poached eggs on toast now cost a jaw-dropping $18 in New Zealand cafes. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS. This country has officially become a dystopian rip-off. A nightmare for anyone trying to survive day-to-day. Everything is exploding in price — rent, power, food, fuel — and now they’re charging luxury rates for basic bloody breakfast. Kiwis are being absolutely fleeced, broke, busted, and disgusted. “The land of milk and honey” ? What a disgusting, delusional joke. It’s the land of milk and daylight robbery.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@TheZeitgeistNZ I wish NZ will do the same as Japan... x.com/realMaalouf/st…

Erica Stanford says we need more migrants because Kiwis aren’t having enough babies. A few thoughts: 1. Falling birth rates are a real public problem that we need to solve - if that goes on forever the population dies out. No bigger fail than that. 2. Replacement migration doesn’t solve this problem, it makes it worse - now not only are we not having enough children, we’re losing our country to foreigners. There is even some evidence that migration depresses native birth rates. 3. The Ponzi scheme that is superannuation, and our house-price driven economy are important economic drivers of this problem - we need to move toward retirement being self-funded and growing our wealth through the real economy rather than buying houses. 4. To the extent that we need migrants “to help the economy” they should only be truly highly skilled, and temporary so they go home when the job is done. If you let them stay and pay their super/healthcare etc you haven’t solved the Ponzi scheme issue, you’ve just kicked the can down the road. The permanent residence pathway should be closed off. 5. New Zealand already has at least a million people here who have arrived in recent decades and aren’t Kiwis in any real sense. In the long run this will tear our country apart. We need to be thinking about voluntary return incentives and other measures that countries like Sweden are implementing to address this problem.

@MarioNawfal This is actually scares me... poor girl...

🚨 Kim & Kanye really let their 12-year-old daughter hit Rolling Loud looking and acting like a 22-year-old Instagram baddie doing festival cosplay. At 12 I was playing Pokémon and eating cereal at 9pm. These two turned their kid into a mini influencer doing adult rap festival circuits. What happened to letting kids be kids? 👀

“Sir what’s the strategy to end the conflict with Iran?” Trump:

@MarioNawfal もう日本が日本でなくなってきてる気がして悲しい。。。😞

🇯🇵 Tokyo footage shows a local subduing an African migrant solo while bystanders walk by. Different cultures, same emerging story: locals fed up, governments slow, citizens forced to handle it themselves. What does a real solution actually look like?

@Being_Kara @chrisluxonmp Used to be Chinese, now Indians. Well, I really feel sorry for young kiwis... 😞

Dear Christopher Luxon @chrisluxonmp My kids are in their twenties, grafting hard, saving every cent, and still getting nowhere in a housing market that feels completely stacked against them. They just want a modest house in the city they grew up in, bought on ordinary Kiwi wages. They are hardworking and diligent and law abiding citizens. Instead they turn up to open homes and watch Indian families pay cash prices that blow local bids away. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: these buyers aren’t competing on anything like a level playing field. India’s 1.4 billion people have operated for over 2,000 years under a caste system that divided society into rigid layers. The Brahmins at the top, then Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and Dalits outside it altogether. Marriage was (and largely still is) within caste. Land, business, and capital stayed locked inside those upper tiers across generations. The result is concentrated family wealth that moves with migrants. One sibling gets residency, the extended network pools the rupees built up over centuries of that stratified system, and suddenly they’re dropping deposits in Auckland or Wellington that the everyday Kiwi could never match. We are a small island country of five million people. Our young ones didn’t inherit centuries of accumulated capital from a closed hierarchy that kept wealth circulating inside the same families and castes. They inherited student debt, $700-a-week rents, and a government that keeps immigration wide open because it pads the GDP figures and locks in a few extra ethnic voting blocs. You keep calling this “highly skilled” migration and telling us to work harder. A small island nation cannot expect its next generation to compete against the purchasing power of a subcontinent whose historical social structure was literally designed to concentrate and preserve wealth at the top. You campaigned on fixing housing and getting migration under control. My kids aren’t the “grumpy few.” They’re the future of this country, and right now they’re being quietly priced out of it in their own homeland. So tell me Prime Minister how exactly are they supposed to get ahead when the deck is this heavily stacked? Because “just work harder” is no longer cutting it.

@MarioNawfal .... no wonder they want to live somewhere else. I just hope Japan won't get too many of them to change our culture....

🇮🇳 One of the world’s busiest and most overcrowded commuter networks, the Mumbai Suburban Railway carries 7.5-8 million passengers daily. So busy, some don’t even wait for it to stop 😂

@ok6ixx いつも素敵なストーリーをありがとうございます🙏❤️ 心が暖かくなります。🥰

I was staying at a hostel in Kobe. I couldn't sleep so I went to the common area around 3am. The night custodian was there mopping the floor. Old guy, probably late 60s. He saw me and said "sorry, floor is wet. You can walk on this side." I said thank you and sat down with my book. He kept mopping, very methodical, very thorough. After a while he took a break and sat down near me. Asked what I was reading. We started talking. He told me he'd been doing night custodian work for 15 years. Before that he was a teacher. I asked why he switched. He said "I retired from teaching. But I am not ready to retire from working. I need purpose." He said his friends think it's sad that a former teacher is now mopping floors. "But I don't think so. Teaching is helping young people become clean, good people. Mopping is making spaces clean and good for people. It is the same thing, just a different method." He said the best part of night custodian work is that he sees a place at its quietest. "During the day, the hostel is loud, busy, and messy. But at night, it is peaceful. I clean when no one is watching. No one says thank you because no one sees me work. But in the morning, people wake up to clean floors, clean bathrooms, clean kitchens. They don't know why it's clean. They just know it is. That is the perfect job. To help people without them knowing you helped." I asked if he ever felt unappreciated. He said "no. Appreciation is for ego. I don't need ego. I need purpose. Cleaning the floors is my purpose."

@MarioNawfal It is the same here in NZ I guess,,,

🇵🇹🇮🇳 An Indian business owner in Portugal says he only hires Indian workers. His reasons: Portuguese employees cost too much and are too hard to communicate with. Then he adds that he's happy Indians are now the majority in his town.

@kangminlee これって行政はどうしてるの？もしかしてモスクを建てるのに承諾しちゃったの？

Thousands of Japanese citizens gathered to protest the construction of the first mosque in Fujisawa, Japan, right outside of Tokyo 🇯🇵 “We don’t want a single mosque, or Muslim cemetery here!”

@sand56100 この黒人何言ってんのかわからん。他の国で何を言っとる？！

日本へのビザを取得したナイジェリア人の女性が、日本には黒人が少なすぎると不満を漏らしています。 特に彼女が住む団地において顕著だとして、「日本にはもっと黒人が必要だ」と語っています…。 🧐お国へ帰れ！

SUPER BULLISH: 🇺🇸 Trump didn't just make a prediction. He revealed a plan. "Bitcoin and crypto will skyrocket like never before. Beyond your expectations." Pro-Bitcoin Fed Chair: Kevin Warsh. May 15. U.S. Digital Asset Reserve: announcement within weeks. Zero capital gains tax on crypto: proposed. CLARITY Act: signing before July 4th. Fed balance sheet: expanding. Liquidity returning. Five catalysts. One direction. The data showed it first. The President just confirmed it. Are you positioned?

I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka. I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing. She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now." I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains." I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people." That idea was so beautiful I agreed. Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying. I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough. She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it." She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby. I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it. Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.

I just realised how Japanese I am. I’ve been in overseas for so long but it’s in my gene… it sounds silly but follow the rules anyway…

@ok6ixx Love this!!

I went to an onsen in Hakone. I was nervous because I have tattoos and heard they sometimes don't allow tattoos. At the entrance, the owner looked at my tattoos. I started apologizing, ready to leave. He said "small tattoos, okay. You can cover it with bandages. But you must follow all other rules perfectly. Understand?" I said yes. He gave me bandages and a laminated card with rules in English. I followed every rule exactly. Washed thoroughly before entering. Didn't splash. Keep quiet. Didn't bring my towel in the water. Afterwards, the owner stopped me. I thought I was in trouble. He said "you follow rules better than Japanese customers. Why?" I told him because he gave me a chance even though I have tattoos. I didn't want to waste that. He nodded. Said "many foreigners come to onsen and don't respect rules. They say 'it's just a bath, why so many rules?' But rules are respected. Respect for water, respect for other people, respect for tradition." He said "I let you in because you asked permission. Many people with tattoos just walk in and get angry when I stop them. But you were polite. Politeness is more important than tattoos." Then he said something I'll never forget: "Rules are not to keep people out. Rules are to teach people how to belong." He gave me a discount for following the rules so well. I tried to refuse, he insisted.

@B7frankH No waaaaaaay!! Pls do something about this!!

🚨🇯🇵🔥 The Japanese society is heading to an unknown destiny, they're about to pass point of no return soon. This video has been going viral on Japanese social media. It shows Yashio a city in Saitama Prefecture which has seen a large influx of Pakistanis in recent years. Japan’s legendary cleanliness is collapsing in Pakistani-heavy areas of Saitama. Garbage mountains, rats, stench — footage we’ve never seen here before. Increased immigration is literally dirtying the entire country. Local Japanese resident @Yuki_Sugaya_ has documented everything with video footage showing scenes we have literally NEVER seen before in their country. Japan was always world-famous for its pristine streets, perfect public order, and cultural obsession with cleanliness. That reputation wasn’t an accident — it was the result of centuries of shared values and strict social norms.But since immigration numbers surged, that entire layer of Japanese society is being damaged. One neighborhood after another is now showing the same filth, disorder, and cultural clash that locals warned about. This isn’t “diversity” — it’s the visible erosion of the very things that make Japan Japan.

@politicalawake OMG…. Pls find the true reason of this fire!!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 The Atago Shrine in Chuo Ward, Niigata Prefecture an historic Shinto Shrine which has stood for over 300 years has caught fire. Many Japanese online believe it to be an arson attack & are comparing it to the church fires across Europe.
